License and Copyright Policy
Genetics and Clinical Genomics Journal is committed to providing authors with flexible open access publishing options that maximize both visibility and compliance with international standards. All articles are published under a Creative Commons license chosen by the author at the time of acceptance. Authors retain copyright while granting the journal an exclusive license to commercialize, publish and distribute the article. To accommodate funder mandates (e.g., NIH, Plan S, Horizon Europe) and to support equitable access to publishing opportunities worldwide, we offer a choice of licenses and article processing charges (APCs) that vary depending on license type and the author’s country income classification (based on World Bank categories). Our recommended license is CC BY, as it ensures the broadest dissemination, indexing compatibility, and compliance with global open access policies.
The first method is to publish through the Open Access (CC-BY, CC-BY-NC) options depending on the license you choose at the moment of submission. The processing fees are only charged once the is accepted for publication by the journal. Any work that has been financed must be submitted through one of the Open Access option. Cosult with your granting institution to determine the best license for your work.
At the moment, we offer fee waiver for students, residents and non-funded work. This License allows anyone to submit their manuscript, and if the manuscript is accepted, it will be published at no cost. This agreement also grants the Editorial an exclusive license and rights to publish and distribution under the license CC BY-NC-ND. This is specially beneficial for Students, Residents, or groups that are not funded.
