The Anatolian Current Medical Journal is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that has published six issues (January, March, May, July, September, and November) per year periodically and is indexed in international indices. The journal's expenses were covered by resources and donations. Owing to the increasing publication costs with the increase in the number of articles, the article processing fee will be requested from the authors, regardless of rejection or acceptance, who submit articles to evaluate the articles as soon as possible and to provide better consultancy and editing services. The article submission fee, which is not subject to the condition of acceptance or rejection, is requested after the compliance of the article with the journal scope is checked.

Manuscript Evaluation Process: The manuscript evaluation period, calculated from the start of the reviewer evaluation process until the first decision is made, is 40 working days for the fast-track process (working days are Monday–Friday). The standard evaluation process typically takes 3–5 months. If additional peer review is required for the article, the peer review process may take longer.

Manuscript Submission / Evaluation Fee: The submission fee for manuscripts (including original articles, review articles, case reports, letters to the editor, etc.) is 440 USD (US Dollars) or 19,000 TL (Turkish Liras).

Fast-Track Process: In the fast-track process, the manuscript undergoes editorial preliminary review, domain check, and blind peer review by at least two reviewers, all of which are completed within a maximum of 40 business days. The fee for the fast-track process is 660 USD (US Dollars) or 28,500 TL (Turkish Liras).

Choosing the fast-track evaluation process does not increase the likelihood of acceptance. No refunds will be given for manuscripts withdrawn after the peer review process has begun. If the manuscript is rejected following the peer-review process, the fee will not be refunded.

Use of the Submission Fee in the Journal: Taxes are given for the fee arrangement in return for the fees deposited in the journal. These fees are used to develop journals. Professional secretarial, typesetting, design, layout, and sometimes English language support services are provided. In addition, sometimes a fee is paid for scanning in the indexes, and revenues are used for this fee.
