Article Processing Charges
Transparent open access fees that support rigorous publishing in tissue repair and regeneration.
Funding open access without compromising editorial quality
The Journal of Tissue Repair and Regeneration (JTRR) publishes open access articles so clinical and translational advances reach the widest possible audience.
Article Processing Charges (APCs) fund editorial assessment, peer review management, production, and long term preservation of the scholarly record.

- Confirm the name that should appear on the invoice.
- Identify one billing contact for the entire project to avoid delays.
- Confirm whether your institution requires pre approval for APCs.
- Clarify if a grant manager must sign off before invoicing.
- Share purchase order numbers early if your finance office requires them.
- Ask whether your institution needs a pro forma invoice.
- Keep a record of APC communications for grant reporting.
After acceptance, the editorial office issues an invoice and begins production once payment arrangements are confirmed. Timely payment ensures copyediting and proofs proceed without delay.
If your institution requires additional documentation, provide it early so production does not pause while paperwork is processed.
For multi institution collaborations, agree on a single payer to avoid delayed release of the final article.
APC quotes can be provided after editorial screening if you need confirmation before committing to submission. This helps teams plan budgets while maintaining editorial independence.
APC discussions do not influence peer review outcomes. Editors and reviewers do not participate in billing decisions.
If a waiver is approved, we will confirm the final amount before production begins to ensure there are no surprises.
Contact [email protected] if your institution requires an invoice estimate for approval.
To discuss APCs, billing logistics, or waiver requests, contact [email protected] before submission so we can align timelines.
Early coordination keeps production on schedule and reduces administrative delays.
JTRR remains committed to fair and transparent pricing while sustaining rigorous peer review and high quality publication standards.
