Publisher Policies

Openventio Publishers is an open-access academic publisher based in Hyderabad, India, publishing peer-reviewed journals across medicine, science, and health care disciplines. The policies below apply consistently across Openventio's full journal network — including Surgical Research (SR) — governing how the publisher operates independently of any single journal's own editorial policies.

Article Processing Charges (APC)

Pricing is tiered according to World Bank income classification, with fee waivers available for authors from low-income countries or facing financial hardship. Full detail is maintained on the Article Processing Charges location and applies the same way across every Openventio journal.

Digital Preservation

Published content across the network is preserved through CLOCKSS, LOCKSS, and the PKP Preservation Network, independent of any individual journal's own website remaining online (see also SR's Archiving Policy for journal-specific detail).

Plagiarism Screening

Every Openventio journal, SR included, runs submitted manuscripts through iThenticate as a standard editorial step, prior to peer review.

Ethical Standards

Openventio holds every journal in its network to the standards set by COPE, the ICMJE, and, where relevant, OASPA.

DOI Registration

As a Crossref member, Openventio registers DOIs for accepted articles across its entire journal network through Crossref's official system — not on a per-journal basis.

Accessibility

Openventio is committed to accessible publishing infrastructure across its network; journal-specific detail is available on SR's Accessibility Statement.
