Open Access Policy and Article Processing Charges (APC) for the Brazilian Journal of Dentistry and Oral Radiology (BJDOR)

All articles published in the Brazilian Journal of Dentistry and Oral Radiology (BJDOR) are freely accessible online immediately upon publication as part of our commitment to open access. To sustain our publishing operations and ensure the quality and accessibility of our content, we levy an Article Processing Charge (APC).

The APC for BJD is USD 150.00 (+ VAT, if using PayPal) for foreign authors or R$500.00 (+ VAT, if using PayPal) for Brazilian authors. We do not impose charges for Letter to Editor submissions, manuscript submissions, or articles that are rejected. Additionally, there are no surcharges based on article composition, such as the inclusion of color figures or the number of pages.

We offer convenient payment options for authors. For all researchers, regardless of nationality, APC payment can be made via PayPal. Please note that all PayPal transactions are subject to a VAT of 6.40% + USD 0.30, according to PayPal guidelines.

For Brazilian researchers, we also provide the option of payment via bank transfer or PIX to the following account:

  • Bank: PagSeguro Internet S.A. (290)
  • Bank Branch: 0001
  • Account Number: 44519188-5
  • PIX/CNPJ Key: 41.391.499/0001-92 (Publicações Científicas de Acesso Aberto e Editora LTDA)

We understand the financial constraints faced by researchers, particularly those from low-income and lower-middle-income economies. Therefore, BJDOR offers a 20% discount on APCs for corresponding authors based in countries classified by the World Bank as such. Additionally, APC discounts or waivers may be considered on a case-by-case basis for authors experiencing financial difficulties. Authors are encouraged to request a waiver or discount after the peer review process, and each request will be carefully evaluated.
