JMIR Memberships are packages of waivers that provide 100% Article Processing Fee (APF) coverage. Memberships are designed to support the research efforts of Principal Investigators, Lab Directors, Department Chairs, Librarians, and Deans. They support faculty and students involved in important digital health research in publishing Open Access by eliminating the need to manage Article Processing Fees (APFs).
- Institutional Memberships are owned by a specific department or university. The institution will designate a membership administrator who will manage the use of the promo codes
- Individual Memberships are owned by an individual researcher.
The control and use of this membership remains with the individual, even if they move to a different institution and supports collaborative efforts by covering any paper on which the member is listed as an author or co-author.
Core Benefits:
- Significant Savings: Membership prices are structured for value; for example, a 3-year Silver membership costs $7500 and covers up to three articles, providing a potential 31% savings. A Titanium Membership with 10 waivers could deliver up to 40% savings over full APFs.
- Faster Publication: Authors can avoid delays associated with institutional processing of individual APF payments, enabling articles to move through production more efficiently and publish sooner
-
Research Visibility: Every institutional member receives a custom homepage that aggregates all papers published under the membership.This Institutional Highlights page strengthens institutional branding by showcasing a cohesive body of research in one place.
- Grant Management: Membership tokens remain active for 3 years after purchase, allowing researchers to use ending grant funds to pre-pay for future publications.
- Support for Early-Career Researchers: Memberships can be strategically used to support graduate students, postdocs, and early-career faculty who may not yet have dedicated funding for publishing fees.
- Funder Mandate Compliant: JMIR is a Gold Open Access publisher which means all articles published in our 30+ journals are immediately freely available to read, cite, and re-use under a CC-BY license.
