F1000Research — publication fee waivers

F1000Research (Taylor & Francis) uses World Bank income tiers with two bands: a full waiver for low-income economies and a 50% discount for low- or lower-middle-income economies, including Ukraine. Separate, non-combinable 20% discounts exist for Advisory Board members and for peer reviewers on one future submission.

Country list

This publisher states the rule but does not publish a single consolidated country list we could verify. We record the rule and link to the source rather than infer which countries it covers. If you know of a published list, tell us.
