Pathway-specific research benefits

  • Enroll in up to two supervised projects simultaneously, subject to eligibility and a manageable workload. A suitable assignment is guaranteed, not a place in two specific projects.
  • microscopIA covers approved manuscript publication fees within the agreed project scope.
  • Recognition in the microscopIA member directory within seven calendar days after membership activation. Affiliation with the microscopIA group registered with the Colombian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MinCiencias) is available only after three months of membership and completion of at least one project, subject to verified contributions, consent and registry requirements. This does not confer an automatic government researcher classification.
  • Two 30-minute career-planning sessions per active membership month

Same plan benefits. Colombian rates require citizenship verification and manual activation, normally within three Colombian business days after complete payment information.

Help me choose: eligibility and research responsibilities

CHOOSE BY YOUR STAGE AND GOAL

Two pathways. A commitment to your development.

Membership is a paid subscription. Your account supports benefit bookings and requests; each project or service explains its eligibility and any additional cost.

CLINICAL EXPERTISE & SCIENTIFIC LEADERSHIP

Clinicians & Investigators

Propose clinical questions, reviews and studies with organized, authorized data. Check the experience requirements; projects require approval and some have separate fees.

Review price and benefits ↓Full pathway requirements →

Know what you are joining.

A recurring membership, defined benefits and separate scientific decisions.

Students & Young Professionals

Included each active month
Learning, well-being and guidance benefits below; sessions require booking and eligibility.
Research participation
Up to two supervised projects simultaneously, with a suitable assignment rather than a guaranteed first choice.
Project and publication costs
Approved publication charges are covered within the agreed project scope.
Approval and responsibilities
Defined tasks, supervision and documented contributions; membership does not buy authorship.

Clinicians & Investigators

Included each active month
Learning, well-being and guidance; up to two academic-event abstracts, without an additional service fee.
Research participation
Propose a review every 2 active months, a case every 2, and original research every 3. These are proposal windows.
Project and publication costs
Reviews: included approved benefit. New case/original work: separate member project rates; no extra 30% discount stacks.
Approval and responsibilities
Research-ready authorized inputs and scientific approval are required; publication is an independent journal decision.

Subscription ≠ project fee ≠ journal decision. Confirm scope and covered publication charges in writing before work begins.

Professional pathway: more than 10 years of verifiable experience. Check eligibility before payment.

Included in both memberships

More than a project. Support you can use.

Both memberships include these learning and support benefits. Book the activities that fit your goals and schedule.

Clinical practice & well-being

Standardized Patient sessions

Practice clinical interviewing and communication in up to five sessions per membership month.

3

Mental-health sessions

Up to three sessions per membership month, subject to clinical suitability, location eligibility and availability.

Learning & career support

∞

Unlimited activities, courses & simulations

Unlimited eligible group activities, workshops, courses and exam simulations, subject to schedules and available places.

2 × 30 min

Career planning

Two 30-minute sessions per membership month to discuss training, summer research, applications and your next professional steps.

Research community & guidance

≤ 2 × 45 min

Up to two 45-minute sessions per membership month to review progress, resolve barriers and agree on next milestones.

Network

People and opportunities

Apply to research groups, build a verified researcher profile and document your contributions.

Membership supports staff, supervision and approved publication costs. It does not purchase authorship, clinical eligibility, journal acceptance or unlimited personnel and funding. Monthly sessions are personal, non-transferable and do not roll over.

microscopIA Network

Your membership keeps the work moving.

Monthly fees help pay staff and operating costs, sustain research and innovation, cover approved publication fees and reinvest in community programs such as mental-health access. Authorship follows your contribution; scientific decisions remain independent of payment.

microscopIA · OPEN ACCESS

Publication support, with a clear route

The ability to pay should not be what determines whether valuable scientific work can reach publication. We assess support within the programme’s conditions.

STUDENTS & YOUNG PROFESSIONALS

Take your review toward publication.

Start your own systematic review or meta-analysis as a member. If you need help, request microscopIA assessment for manuscript preparation, open-access publication costs, or both.

01

Scientific quality

Rigorous execution and verifiable methods; completed work is assessed.

02

Transparent authorship

Authors, contributions, member percentage, microscopIA and external affiliations.

03

Agreed collaboration

microscopIA corresponding author and written support scope.

Support requirements and conditions

For this member-initiated review route, at least 50% of all genuine authors must be microscopIA Network members with active paid membership. Exactly 50% qualifies for assessment (5 of 10); 3 of 5 is 60%. Memberships are verified during assessment and before funding authorization.

Support depends on high-quality execution and scientific assessment of your question, methods and work completed. Manuscript support and publication-cost support are separate decisions, with scope and covered costs confirmed in writing before expenses are incurred.

Report microscopIA Network members with active paid membership as a percentage of all genuine authors: active members ÷ total authors × 100. The 50% requirement uses the exact counts, not a rounded percentage.

List every author, scientific contributions and all actual affiliations: microscopIA department or group where applicable, plus external institutions, departments, cities and countries. Membership and institutional affiliation are verified separately.

For an approved collaboration, a qualifying microscopIA researcher retains the corresponding-author role, with real scientific contributions, accountability, all-author agreement and compliance with journal rules.

microscopIA assesses applicable open-access agreements through the corresponding author’s genuine, verifiable affiliations. The publisher and participating institution must confirm eligibility and coverage; no agreement or fee waiver is guaranteed.

Prepare your review question and type, protocol or registration if available, methods, evidence of progress, author list and contributions, total authors and active-member count. Indicate the support needed and any proposed journal or fee estimate; these may be unknown.

Authorship follows actual scientific contributions. Do not add authors to meet the threshold. A request does not guarantee support, journal acceptance or publication.

Request assessment of my review →Manuscript · Open access · Scientific assessment

Approved work within microscopIA

For approved projects developed within microscopIA, the organization may cover the agreed publication costs under the applicable programme conditions. Existing written commitments to cover approved charges remain in force.

Clinicians & Investigators · collaborative reviews

As an experienced Clinicians & Investigators member, propose a systematic review or meta-analysis with the microscopIA network and request open-access publication-cost support when MORE THAN 30% of the qualifying authors have a verified active microscopIA affiliation.

The threshold allows a support request; it does not automatically grant funding. Scientific review and written approval must confirm the journal, covered amount, exclusions and payment procedure before costs are incurred. Membership alone does not establish affiliation or authorship. Affiliations must be genuine and authorship follows actual contributions. Journal acceptance is independent.

Publication-cost support is distinct from membership subscriptions, project fees and accelerated preparation. Clinical-call fees remain applicable unless a written agreement expressly changes them.

Clinicians & Investigators: check the >30% affiliation route →

3 of 10 is exactly 30% and does not qualify. 4 of 10 exceeds 30%. Counts are preliminary and subject to verification.

Your professional research allowance

New case-report and original-research proposals use member project rates or standard nonmember rates (3×). Membership is a separate recurring subscription, not free project execution. No additional 30% discount stacks with these call rates. Existing accepted benefits and signed agreements are preserved; no retrospective charges. Scientific approval, organized authorized inputs and written scope are required. Students & Young Professionals cannot lead these calls. The AI image collaboration retains its separate member-only eligibility and commercial terms.

Evidence reviews retain their included two-month benefit, subject to approval. Case-report and original-study periods are proposal windows with separate project fees; they do not guarantee acceptance or publication.

Terms and coverage →

Allowance frequency and preparation time are different.

Reviews and meta-analyses
3–4 months to prepare the manuscript
Case reports
Up to 8 weeks to prepare the manuscript
Original investigations
Up to 8 weeks to prepare the manuscript

Preparation follows scientific approval and activation with complete authorized inputs. The written scope records the start date, materials, milestones and any agreed changes. Journal review, acceptance and publication take additional independent time.

Explore accelerated preparation →

The simulator offers accelerated and preferential preparation targets, subject to feasibility and a separate written agreement. Its commercial estimate is not automatically a supplement for an included benefit: coordination must reconcile the included work first. No duplicate charge; no accelerated journal decision is promised.

ACADEMIC PATHWAYS

Connect your academic goals with supervised research.

Credits, undergraduate/master’s thesis, doctoral research, research within clinical training and special projects with microscopIA experts. Institutional approval and a written supervision plan apply.

Before you join

Is my first-choice project guaranteed?

No. Members are guaranteed a suitable supervised assignment, either their selected project or an alternative appropriate to their background. External applicants follow the open-call selection process.

Can I cancel?

Yes. Cancel future renewal through your account or request assistance. Each active project is reviewed for handover or replacement. Cancellation does not erase qualifying contributions or earned authorship.

Does this include clinical care everywhere?

No. Mental-health appointments require suitability, consent, availability and authorization where you are located. Do not activate a paid plan solely for clinical sessions before confirming eligibility.

What if an included benefit is unavailable?

Contact the team for a dated resolution, appropriate alternative, extension, credit or refund assessment. Capacity limits do not remove the obligation to address an unavailable paid benefit.
