Article Processing Charge

Article Processing Charges 

The Annals of Dentistry, University of Malaya (Ann Dent UM) does not currently charge any Article Processing Charges (APCs), manuscript submission fees, or publication fees. Authors are not required to make any payment for the submission, peer review, editorial handling, production, or publication of their manuscripts.

The journal is committed to supporting the broad dissemination of scholarly research by providing open access to its published content without imposing financial barriers on authors or readers.

Should APCs or other publication-related charges be introduced in the future, details of the fee structure, implementation date, and payment procedures will be clearly communicated through the journal's official website. Any such changes will apply only to manuscripts submitted after the effective date of the revised policy.

The journal is committed to ensuring that any future publication charges are administered transparently and do not influence editorial evaluation, peer-review outcomes, or publication decisions.
