CIBNP PUBLISHING CHANNEL
PUBLICATIONS MADE FASTER WITH CIBNP-CUREUS ACADEMIC CHANNEL
Now, you can publish your articles at a comparatively faster rate with CIBNP’s channel with the Cureus Journal.
CIBNP and The Cureus Journal of Medical Science are now working together to make research publications hassle-free.
Through CIBNP’s channel at the Cureus, you can now publish your research papers for faster peer-reviewed publications in PubMed, PubMed Central, and Web of Science.
Limited rapid publication slots are available for the channel and will be filled on a first come first serve basis.
Each channel article requires payment at CIBNP’s website only. CIBNP students will not have to pay on Cureus’s website for the channel articles as all the articles that go through this channel are paid by CIBNP to Cureus later. The articles going through the channel will be provided with BASIC editing services by CIBNP (Basic grammar check, Basic spell check, and plagiarism % check). This BASIC REVIEW of the article is included in the channel fee that you pay at CIBNP. The articles that are not paid for at CIBNP, submitted via the channel will be deferred by CIBNP’s editor via channel until the payment is received at CIBNP.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Question 1:
I wrote an article during my two-month research training program: however, I cannot afford the Channel fee per article, can I bypass the channel and publish the article in the Cureus medical journal as a non-channel article?
• Any article that a student wrote with the CiBNP during the two-month training program, cannot be published in the Cureus journal without going through the CiBNP-Cureus channel. If the article is your independent article written as a second or third article after the training was completed with colleagues outside the CiBNP, then you have the option to either go with the channel (avail CiBNP’s help) or go without the channel (independent of CiBNP’s help)
Question 2:
I am an ex-student and I have written a new article on my own and now want to publish in Cureus on my own without the channel. Can I do that? Or I must still choose the Channel?
• All the future articles that you write afterward can be published without the channel because they are the students’ independent articles. However, the graduated students are most welcome to submit their future articles via the channel if they want the step-by-step guidance for deferrals through CiBNP’s team
Question 3:
If I write an article and submit to the journal without going through the channel, what are the consequences?
• Cureus and CiBNP are working together to help the students becoming published authors, therefore, the Cureus journal knows which article was written under the CiBNP affiliation. Therefore, any student deliberately trying to bypass the channel could be permanently banned by both organizations. This means the student cannot publish in Cureus ever and you cannot join any other CiBNP course in the future. and the certificate for the two-month training will be confiscated
