If Believers Medical Journal (BeMJ) introduces or modifies an author fee in the future, the revised fee structure will be published transparently on the journal website before it becomes effective. Any future fee will apply prospectively and will not be imposed retrospectively on manuscripts submitted under the zero-fee policy.
