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.

≥50%of authors with active paid membership
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.

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.

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

Share professional information with care

Do not include patient information, clinical data, passwords or identity documents unless an authorized process expressly requires them. Requests are verified and routed to an authorized representative; they are not automatically published.
