Transparency is a Strength
FMDB provides a variety of cutting-edge Open Access alternatives to improve the quality of the scientific record, increase accessibility, promote trustworthiness, and multiply the results of research.
Improve your impact
Free and easily accessible research has a greater chance of being read, cited, and implemented into practise. Articles with an Open Access licence are more likely to be read and cited by scholars throughout the world, as well as by policymakers, educators, and the general public.
Science-savvy
In addition to demonstrating the quality of your research and the screening it has passed, sharing the underlying components of your research decreases the potential for bias and promotes transparency into the investigatory and peer review processes.
Maximize your contribution
More timely dissemination of findings results in less overall waste in the scientific ecosystem and more chances for reuse, inspiration, and collaboration.
Trust and long-term success
Use Open Access techniques that incorporate open methods, open data, and study designs into published articles to guarantee that all of the necessary components for replication are preserved in the long-term scientific record.
Authors retain copyright over their materials and are free to copy, redistribute, remix, transform, and build upon the material since all the papers are published under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-Share Alike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license.
Customized publishing
FMDB expands your research's reach
FMDB Publications allows authors to retain full copyright of their work. The publication is licensed under the author’s chosen Creative Commons (CC) license, ensuring that authors maintain ownership and can reuse, distribute, or reproduce their work freely, provided proper citation is given. Study designs, protocols, code, and procedures; raw data and photos; preprints, peer reviews, commentary, and articles; and so on may all be easily surfaced and shared with FMDB's straight forward solutions.
Data
Through our cutting-edge Open Data standards, we guarantee that your data will be preserved as an indelible part of the scientific record, available for future researchers to use and discover. So that studies can be checked, repeated, reused, and better comprehended.
Methods
Integrity, comprehension, reproducibility, and reusability in research all benefit from the adoption of open methodologies. Sharing your methods in detail will help other researchers save time and effort, and it will increase the likelihood that your work will be cited. Utilize our one-of-a-kind publication choices and partnerships to disseminate your pre-registered research, procedures, and code in a manner that is most helpful to your study.
Peer-Review publications
Research outputs include both peer reviews and author responses to reviewers. They improve our comprehension of the study conducted, add credibility to the findings that have been published, and enrich the scientific literature overall. Reviewers are held more accountable and provide more helpful criticism when they know their review could be made public. Any FMDB journal that accepts your paper for publication gives you the option of also publishing the peer review comments (Visit Peer-Review Information).
Preprints
Your ability to manage your own scientific publications is strengthened by preprints. When you feel comfortable doing so, you should make your research public in order to set priorities, announce your findings, solicit input from the community, build your readership, and strengthen your case for funding, promotion, or tenure. Preprints are acceptable for submission to FMDB.
Open Future
Through its open-source model, Open Science envisions a research ecosystem where scientists from different institutions and fields can collaborate to produce high-quality, peer-reviewed findings. FMDB's efforts to better support our researchers are directed toward this end:
For almost a decade now, FMDB Publications has been widely recognised for producing high-quality academic journals. The standards established by the Committee on Publication Ethics have our full support, and we adhere to them (COPE). Furthermore, we have set comprehensive publication policies to ensure the highest standards of publication ethics are upheld by all of our writers.
Authors who choose to publish their work in FMDB publications are deemed to have read and agreed to the journal's policies for publishing.
We have included quick access links to our open access journal rules in the sidebar.
FMDB uses a variety of financial methods to promote Open Access for all users. By charging a price for each article, most OA journals are able to cover the costs associated with publication, such as peer review management, journal production, and online hosting and archiving (APC). As a result of our collaborations with academic institutions and funding organisations, we hope to ease the workload of authors and cut down on associated costs.
Journal publication costs are listed at the Article Processing Charges (APC) Details Link and are due once an article has been accepted for publication. Payment in accordance with the rates in place on the date of your submission.
We are collaborating with universities to encourage scholars from different backgrounds and fields to publish their work openly. To help institutions facilitate their authors' Open Access publication ambitions, all FMDB journals provide payment alternatives other than the Article Processing Charge (APC). Many FMDB authors can avoid paying for and keeping track of publication fees through institutional collaborations. These can take the form of annual centralised payments, direct invoicing, or participation in Community Action Publishing. Investigate whether or not your school is one of our Institutional Partners.
The movement to sponsor activities that promote Open Access publication is gaining traction. The availability of institutional, government, and foundation Open Access financing is beneficial to authors worldwide. There are various sources of funding support for publication fees, and FMDB is just one of them.
There are several examples of organisations helping out their scholars by providing funds to pay or lessen the price of Open Access publications.
In the event that your school is not included in the list of Institutional Account Participants, please consult with your library to learn about additional resources.
Also, you can persuade your organisation to directly partner with FMDB to finance all future journal articles. All you have to do is complete out this form, and we'll take it from there.
Spread the word around campus that you want your administration to help you get published by telling them about our institutional collaboration strategies to reduce costs.
Many funding organisations now prefer that scientists disseminate their findings through freely accessible Open Access publications. Check with your potential donor to see whether they offer article processing grants or if you may include fees as line items on a grant application.
Authors submitting to any FMDB publication can be assured that their work will be made available to the public in accordance with the policies of the world's leading philanthropies.
We feel that the lack of financial resources should not prevent anyone from publishing in Open Access.
It was with this in mind that the FMDB Publishing Fee Assistance (PFA) programme was established to help authors who could not otherwise afford to pay for publication but who could show a compelling financial need to do so.
The following countries are eligible for FPFAP: Afghanistan, Angola, Benin, Bhutan, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cambodia, Cape Verde, Central African Republic, Chad, Comoros, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Djibouti, East Timor, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Haiti, Kiribati, Laos, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Maldives, Mali, Mauritania, Mozambique, Myanmar, Nepal, Niger, Rwanda, Samoa, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Solomon Islands, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Tanzania, Togo, Tuvalu, Uganda, Vanuatu, Yemen, Zambia,
When submitting an article for publication, an author is eligible to apply for FPFAP. Within 12 working days, a decision is typically communicated to the author. Case-by-case review is how FMDB evaluates applications.
In the case of the FMDB, all editorial considerations are given priority when deciding which articles to publish. Journal editors and reviewers are not made aware of fee assistance applications.
Prior to applying for FPFAP, authors are encouraged to explore all other possible financing options. Questions regarding the availability of alternate funding from sources like the authors' or co-authors' institution, institutional library, government agencies, and research funders are included in the application form. The authors' disclosure of funding sources is required for consideration by the FPFAP.
Formal application for aid must be made at the time of enrollment. There will be no time limit on requests, so feel free to send them in at any point, either during the review process or after acceptance. It is not possible for authors to contact the journal directly or send an email requesting fee help.
After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, APCs need to be paid. After a work has been accepted by FMDB Publications, no cancellations or refunds will be given.
As soon as the Article Processing Charges have been received, a receipt will be emailed to the associated author. Assuming your payment clears, you should have the confirmation in your hands within three to four business days.

Statement of Publication Ethics and Malpractice
FMDB Journals is an independent publisher that is dedicated to following the best ethical research and publishing policies. The Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) made up these rules, which this statement is based on. You may find them at https://publicationethics.org/guidance/Guidelines. Our goal is to publish unique research papers that make a big difference in the progress of science and technology. We do this by using fair and honest methods in the peer-review and screening process. FMDB Journals takes all claims of scientific misconduct, fraudulent publication, or plagiarism extremely seriously. In these situations, we will work closely with the EiC to look into the matter in great detail. We will take the right steps to fix the problem based on what we found, such as:
FMDB Journals wants to make sure that all researchers have a fair and welcoming place to work. In our publication processes, we don't support discrimination based on age, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, or handicap.
Complaints and Appeals: The editors make the final decision on whether to accept or reject a manuscript. Authors who want to appeal an editorial decision can get in touch with the journal directly. If you have a problem with a co-author, reviewer, or member of the editorial board, please contact the EiC.
Communication and Openness: FMDB Journals works hard to be open about the editorial process. Authors will get clear and timely updates on the progress of their submissions. We also want researchers, editors, and reviewers to talk to each other and work together. We promise to keep examining and upgrading our publication ethics principles so that we always follow the best practices and highest standards in academic publishing. FMDB Journals is dedicated to publishing research that is correct and trustworthy. This policy makes sure that mistakes are fixed quickly and openly, which keeps the scientific record honest.
Author Responsibility: Authors must quickly let the journal editor or publisher know about any major mistakes or inaccuracies they find in their published work. They should work with the editor to figure out what to do next, which could mean taking back or fixing the work.
Post-Publication Corrections: If authors or readers find wrong information or other mistakes in a published paper, they should email the journal editor or publisher at editors@fmdbpub.com or ethics@fmdbpub.com.
Errors in data, figures, or authorship changes are some of the most common reasons for revisions. If there are any changes, editors will look at the COPE post-publication critique https://publicationethics.org/guidance/flowchart/handling-post-publication-critiques#:~:text=Key%20points, and decide what to do. You can make changes to the online version of "early release" articles right away. There will be a formal correction statement attached to the version of record for published articles.
Post-Publication Retractions: Retracting a published work is a serious but essential step in circumstances of significant wrongdoing, such as:
We strongly condemn the making and use of fake data. We carefully check manuscripts, and if any fake data is found after publication, the article will be retracted according to the COPE guidelines on fake data in a published article https://publicationethics.org/guidance/flowchart/fabricated-data-submitted-manuscript. When FMDB Journals thinks about retractions, they follow COPE's retraction rules at https://publicationethics.org/retraction-guidelines. The steps are as follows:
Animal research: Authors should disclose if institutional and national rules for animal care and usage were followed.
Informed consent must be documented whenever human information or clinical photos are used. Signed consent forms are needed before reviewing a paper.
Medical research: Medical writers or anyone else who helped should be credited.
Sponsorship: Pharmaceutical companies or other commercial organisations that sponsor clinical trials should follow The International Society for Medical's good practise guidelines. These guidelines also apply to companies or individuals who work on industry-sponsored publications, such as freelance writers, contract research organisations, and communications companies.
How to complain about scientific content
Authors may reach out to the appropriate journal to lodge a complaint. The EiC will look at the authors' reasoning and the reviewers' reports and then decide whether:
When it's appropriate, the complaint will be told about the decision and given an explanation. Decisions on appeals are final, and new submissions are more important than appeals.
A complaint concerning processes
Authors can get in touch with the journal directly to complain about the procedure. The EiC will look into the issue. The person who complained will get the right feedback. Relevant stakeholders get feedback to help them improve their processes and procedures.
Complaint regarding the ethics of publishing
Authors can email editors@fmdbpub.com or ethics@fmdbpub.com with questions or complaints about ethics.
