Cureus

Zero Publication Fees

All non-channel and non-competition original article, case report, technical report and editorial submissions undergo a preliminary review to determine if the article meets all Cureus editorial requirements (as listed in this Author Guide) and qualifies for free publication in our medical journal. All non-channel and non-competition review articles require the purchase of our Preferred Editing service.

To remain eligible for free publication, research articles cannot contain more than the following number of authors or references:

Original articles: 10 authors and 30 references
Case reports and technical reports: 5 authors and 20 references
Editorials: 5 authors and 5 references

Exceeding either total will disqualify the article from free publication in our medical journal, regardless of how many errors are found during our preliminary review.

Open Access

Cureus’s method of publishing medical articles means that content is freely available to all readers worldwide immediately upon publication, ensuring maximum dissemination of articles, posters and abstracts. Additionally, readers can access all of our articles and other online content without registering for an account. Cureus utilizes a Continuous Article Publication (CAP) model, reducing publication times to a minimum and ensuring timely communication to the community.

Easy Online Submission

Cureus operates a merit-based publication system, in which we publish all articles that satisfy Cureus editorial requirements and contain no fraudulent or dangerous science. It is the submitting author’s responsibility to meet us halfway by submitting an article draft that meets all listed editorial requirements. Authors must complete the following steps in order to submit an article draft for peer review. Authors may save and exit the submission process at any time by clicking “Exit” in the top right corner of the page.

Expert Review

Cureus is a formally peer-reviewed medical journal. All articles accepted for peer review undergo a single-blind, pre-publication peer review process in which reviewers know the identity of the authors, but authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.

Reviewers are made anonymous through Cureus' automated system. Once a reviewer accepts the review invitation, they are assigned a Greek letter to be used for identification purposes by the authors (e.g. Reviewer Alpha). Any supplemental material included with the article is also subject to peer review. Reviews are not posted with the published articles. Medical students are ineligible to serve as peer reviewers.
