The invoice for your Article Processing Fee can be found and downloaded here: http://www.jmir.org/payment/viewInvoices

A link to the invoice for the Article Processing Fee can also be found in your acceptance email. This link can be shared with third parties (e.g. the financial office of an institution) third parties may also use this link to pay via credit card, as long as they have a JMIR user account, please see: Can Someone Other Than the Author Pay an Invoice? 

Generating an invoice

Only the submitting author can (re-)generate an invoice. 

Step 1. Fill in/Edit the Billing Address

Please make sure the Billing Address is correct before generating an invoice. If you need to change the billing address, please do so on this page and generate another invoice. Note that your Purchase Order number or VAT number can be added to the end of your Billing Address in the Additional Information field (How do I add a PO or internal order number or VAT number to my invoice?).

Step 2. Choose an invoice from the drop-down

All invoices available to you will be in the drop-down box. 

Note; if you intend to pay by wire or cheque, you need to click the grey box to update your invoice and total for this method of payment.

Step 3. Choose your payment options:

  • Full or partial payment
  • Method of payment: credit card, cheque, or wire transfer

Please consult this article on how to split a payment among authors if necessary.

Payment for an Article Processing Fee (APF)

After we received the payment, you will no longer receive payment reminders and your manuscript will proceed to Copyediting. No further action is required once you have received the receipt until you hear from the copyeditor, please see My paper has been accepted, what are the next steps?

Payment for a Membership

Invoices for membership can only be created for existing membership renewals. If you do not see the membership renewal option you will need to create a membership first, see What is an institutional membership and how can I create one?)

If you are trying to renew an Institutional Membership, please note that every Institutional Membership is associated with a user account, and only that user will be able to generate an invoice for that membership. When the associated user goes to the Generate Invoice page, the membership will appear as a selectable item in Step 2.
