Fees
There is no fee for the submission of papers to Advances in Biomedical Engineering and Rehabilitation.
Upon acceptance, an Article Processing Charge (APC) of $70 (or €70, 300 BRL) must be paid.
We offer discounts for reviewers of our journal and for manuscripts authored by a single author. Each request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis, and such requests should be made at the time of submission.
Video Pitch
After acceptance, we will recommend creating a 5-minute video pitch about the final paper. Authors are free to decide whether or not to produce this material; however, we strongly encourage this practice, as it is a medium that will help promote the article across various platforms.

While our support team works on integrating OJS, please use the "Make a New Submission ABER" form for all submissions. Keep in mind that the form does not save partially completed data, so we recommend having all necessary information prepared before starting the process.
