Plagiarism and Duplication
Plagiarism is copying another person’s writing or concepts and passing the copied material off as your own work. You must both describe (i.e., separate and identify) the copied text from your writing and give recognition to (i.e., cite the source) the foundation of the copied text to avoid accusations of plagiarism. Plagiarism is considered fraud and has potentially harsh consequences, including loss of job, loss of reputation, and the assignation of a reduced or failing grade in a course. All manuscripts received for our journals are scanned for plagiarism. If potential plagiarism is detected, the authors will be contacted for clarification. In accordance with the COPE guiding principle, we expect that “unique wording taken right from publications by other researchers or physicians should give the impression in reference marks with the appropriate citations.” This condition also applies to an author’s individual work. The authors must ensure that their work is entirely original, and if they have used the work and/or words of others, the source of the information must be indicated within the paper using an internal citation.

Article Processing Charges (APC)
Mega Journal of Medicine, as a Gold Open Access publisher, offsets all the costs associated with our high-quality publishing service through Article Processing Charges (APCs): articles that are accepted for publication by our external editors following rigorous peer review incur a publishing fee charged to authors, institutions, or funders. Mega Journal of Medicine is a self-funding journal, and we don’t have any external support from any institution or society. To run our organization in an organized way, we charge article processing charges to the authors to publish their articles. The article processing charges 1800-3600 USD for the Mega Journal of Medicine is depending on the type of article, availability of funding support, and the income status of the country. We charge an APC to maintain published manuscripts in online repositories. All our articles are published in the most updated formats (HTML, PDF, XML, etc.). We rigorously follow our publication ethics and there is no compromise on the excellence of your valuable articles, so the APC is applicable to your accepted articles depending on the type of article for the review process and the digitization process. Apart from this article processing charge, there are no other fees (for example, submission charges, page charges, or color charges). Your payments are most valuable to us in developing our journal to the next level.

Manuscript Withdrawal Charges
If the author requests a withdrawal of the manuscript after it has been submitted, the author(s) will not be penalized. If the withdrawal request is made after the manuscript has been submitted or assigned for pre-review, during the assembly stage, or after it has been published on the platform, the author(s) must pay a withdrawal penalty without fail. The corresponding author(s) are asked to send a formal letter to the inquest editorial office requesting that the manuscript be withdrawn. Manuscript withdrawal is simplest when the full amount of the withdrawal penalty has been paid. The withdrawal costs will be declared as applicable, making it the handiest case for withdrawal.

Refund Policy
Once the article is accepted by the journal, the APC is due on the author. Authors will have sufficient time from the date of submission to acceptance for deciding whether to continue publication or withdraw the submission. So, fee once paid will not be refunded at any situation as the journal publishes articles under Open Access platform, fee paid by the authors will be spent towards the costs associated with the process and publication.
