PUBLICATION PRICE SIMULATOR

Estimate your publication project.

Choose your project, team and preparation target. See the estimated total and payment stages before submitting. No payment is due for a simulation.

01Publication type
02Your research team

Choose the country of the primary institutional affiliation and count the investigators in your team. Do not include the microscopIA team.

Use primary affiliation, not nationality or residence. Authorship requires qualifying scientific contributions.

How regional access and the majority rule work

Colombia has the lowest, COP-denominated baseline. The wider Latin America & Caribbean baseline applies across the region, including economies that the World Bank classifies as high income. Outside the region, microscopIA uses the World Bank FY2027 snapshot, effective 1 July 2026–30 June 2027.

A pathway applies only when it accounts for strictly more than 50% of the external team. Colombia is tested first, then the complete Latin America & Caribbean region, followed by the non-regional income groups. Exactly 50% is mixed. If no pathway exceeds 50%, individual evaluation is required.

This is an administrative access method—not an assessment of scientific quality, institutional merit or research value. It never changes authorship, peer review or editorial standards.

Adjust the count beside each country. Count each person once. Payment does not confer authorship.

03microscopIA manuscript-preparation target

Targets begin after Project Activation and apply to preparation of the submission-ready manuscript—not journal review or publication. Priority timing remains subject to capacity confirmation.

04Publication preference

Open access is an included benefit only where policy-eligible. It requires a qualifying microscopIA author legitimately serving as corresponding author; funding does not purchase authorship. Another legitimate corresponding-author arrangement normally uses a subscription route where available.

05Funding & access pathway

The engine has applied the current pathway shown above.

Regional access pricing is based only on the external team’s primary institutional affiliations. It does not change scientific review, authorship eligibility, journal selection or editorial independence.

BEYOND PUBLICATION

A service shaped around your needs.

These services require a scoped proposal. Publication estimates do not apply to custom research, institutional or technology work.

  1. 1. Describe the goalA brief, nonconfidential inquiry.
  2. 2. Review the scopeDeliverables, responsibilities, timing and price.
  3. 3. Agree and activateConfirm the agreement and applicable approvals.

An inquiry creates no payment obligation. Payment does not confer authorship or guarantee journal acceptance.
