For researchers in India

Indian authors are actively welcomed. English-language biochemistry manuscripts from Indian universities, research institutes, and industry labs go through the same double-blind review as every other submission. The founding 50% APC waiver applies automatically; additional partial waivers can be requested from the editorial office in cases of documented financial hardship.

For researchers in the UAE and Saudi Arabia

Authors across the GCC — including universities and research centres in the UAE and Saudi Arabia — are invited to submit English-language biochemistry and translational research manuscripts. All submissions receive a written APC quote from the editorial office; the founding waiver applies to all accepted articles.
