Publication of an article in the Tropical Journal of Pathology and Microbiology is not contingent upon the author's ability to pay the charges. Neither is acceptance to pay the handling fee a guarantee that the paper will be accepted for publication. Authors that may not be able to pay can request the editorial office to reduce the fee to an amount as per editorial office norms. We only accept payment of handling fee/processing charges after the manuscript has been accepted for publication.

All articles from young researchers are published free of Article processing charges. (*All authors should be Undergraduate Medical Students). Tropical Journal of Pathology and Microbiology offers APC waivers to papers whose corresponding authors (All Undergraduate Students) are based in countries classified by the World Bank as low-income economies.
