Article-processing charges
Authors should pay the fee within 14 days from receiving the information via the Editorial System about the acceptance of the article for publication. If we do not receive the payment within 14 days, the manuscript will be removed from the list qualified for publication until the payment is made.
Wire transfer is the only accepted mode of payment. Other forms (e.g., credit cards, resp. Western Union or similar money tranfer systems) are not permitted.
All wire transfer costs are to be covered by the authors – Wroclaw Medical University must receive the exact sum stated as the article-processing charge (APC), not reduced by the costs of the transfer.
The fee applies only to the cost of preparing/developing the article for publication in the journal. The fee has no effect on the acceptance of the article for publication. All articles submitted via the Editorial System are reviewed by independent experts outside the Editorial Office and based on their opinions are qualified for publication or rejected. Please be informed that if the author decides not to publish the paper which has been already accepted and paid, the fee paid will not be returned for reasons beyond the Publisher’s control.
The journal offers neither APC waivers nor discounts, including discounts for researchers from lower-income countries and countries against which international sanctions have been imposed.
We accept payments ONLY in PLN (from Polish authors) and EUR (authors from other countries). We DO NOT accept payments in US dollars or any other currency. We DO NOT offer currency exchange/conversion services. Please note that Polish entities are allowed to pay the APC in PLN only.

Optional services
There are also additional fees for the following optional services (if ordered by the Authors of the manuscript accepted for publication):
- 200 EUR / 880 PLN for linguistic editing;
- 200 EUR / 880 PLN for technical editing.
Services offered
Linguistic editing ensures that the English language of your manuscript is of the academic standard required for publication in our journal. It comprises correcting grammar, punctuation and spelling errors, pointing to inconsistencies, as well as removing or reformulating awkward or ambiguous sentences, while keeping, where possible, your voice and choice of words. We also suggest discipline-specific terms. In the proof sent to you, all our comments and doubts are clearly marked, so that you could make the necessary corrections.
Technical editing ensures that the structure of your manuscript follows the Adv Clin Exp Med house style. We reformat references (both in the text and the whole reference list) and look for missing information in the reference section. We improve the overall presentation by revising titles/subtitles, font, spacing, text alignment, and paragraph structure. We also edit equations and tables, and produce publication-ready figures that clearly communicate your research to readers. Figure editing enhances your charts and graphs, as well as graphical abstracts; it comprises revising the text included, colors, shading, border, size, resolution, and file type.
You can choose either or both of the abovementioned optional services, or decline them. When submitting the manuscript to Adv Clin Exp Med via the Editorial System, you will be provided with special checkboxes to select if needed. Following the acceptance of your article for publication, you will be asked to pay the basic APC and the additional fees for the chosen editing services.
Please be informed that the articles finally published in Adv Clin Exp Med must comply with the high standards of the journal.

Incentive for the employees and students of Wroclaw Medical University
Papers authored solely by employees and/or students of Wroclaw Medical University (WMU) are exempt from the fee. If the manuscript has been written jointly by the employees and/or students of WMU and authors from other institutions, the fee is lowered proportionally to the number of WMU employees among all authors, and is paid only by authors who are not UMW employees (e.g., if 2 out of 6 authors are WMU employees, the fee is lowered by ⅓ and amounts to 1066 EUR / 4600 PLN).
Incentive for our Reviewers
Since January 1, 2021, our Reviewers receive 5 points for each review prepared for our journal.
A total of 20 points allows them to publish an article in Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine free of charge, provided that they are the first or the last author of a given article.
Since July 1, 2024, the points are valid for 2 years (24 months) counting from the day when a paper authored by our reviewer is initially accepted for publication and a requirement for paying APC appears (e.g., when the paper was initially accepted on July 1, 2024, 20 points must have been amassed within previous 24 months, that is from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2024).
If an author knows or supposes that they are eligible for APC waiver, they should contact the Managing Editor: marek.misiak@umw.edu.pl [alternative e-mail for Chinese authors: marek.misiak@friend.pl].
Additional information
The sole source of financing for publishing Advances in Clinical and Experimental Medicine comes from institutional support from its owner, Wroclaw Medical University, provided through the body managing the journal – Wroclaw Medical University Press. Neither subscriptions (ACEM is an open access journal) nor paid advertising is practiced – neither Wroclaw Medical University Press nor journal itself undertake any business activity. Publication fee is required only from manuscripts submitted to the Editorial Office as of February 8, 2017.
