Dialogues in Cardiovascular Medicine (DCM) operates under an open-access publishing model to ensure that published research is freely accessible to readers worldwide without subscription or access barriers.

To support editorial management, peer review administration, production, online hosting, and long-term maintenance of published content, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is applied to accepted manuscripts.

APC Amount

The Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted manuscripts is:

USD 300 per article

When is the APC Payable?

The APC is payable only after a manuscript has successfully completed peer review and has been formally accepted for publication.

Submission of a manuscript does not guarantee acceptance, and no fee is charged for manuscript submission or peer review.

What the APC Covers

The APC contributes to:

• Editorial processing and manuscript management.
• Peer review administration.
• Copyediting and production services.
• Online publication and hosting.
• Open access availability of published articles.
• Long-term preservation and maintenance of published content.

Waivers and Discounts

Any APC waivers or discounts, if available, are granted at the discretion of the journal and are evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Refund Policy

Once an article has been accepted, processed, and published, APC payments are generally non-refundable except in exceptional circumstances determined by the journal.
