Public Science Journals, Inc. (PSJ) is a Maryland, USA 501(c)(3) nonprofit publishing Researchers’ Journal of Internal Medicine. Our mailing address is 306 W Redwood St #4185, Baltimore, MD 21201. Contact rjinternalmedicine@gmail.com for gift or public-document inquiries.
These terms describe future direct gifts accepted through an authorized PSJ donation channel. This page does not collect donations or enroll anyone in recurring payments. These terms do not replace a prior written gift agreement.
Direct gifts are voluntary and unrestricted, supporting PSJ’s charitable publishing mission as PSJ determines. Any proposed restriction or sponsorship arrangement requires separate written acceptance. PSJ may decline or return a gift that cannot be accepted appropriately.
A donation provides no right to publication, favorable review, queue priority, editorial influence, or advertising. Donations and donor relationships do not influence editorial decisions. The optional $50 Priority Processing fee buys a described service and is not presented as a charitable gift.
PSJ provides acknowledgments appropriate to the gifts it actually receives, including the date and amount and whether any goods or services were provided, as applicable. PSJ does not guarantee that a payment qualifies for a tax deduction. Eligibility depends on the donor’s circumstances and applicable law; consult an independent tax adviser.
If a future campaign involves goods, services, restricted purposes, or recurring payments, the relevant terms and disclosures must be provided before payment. No recurring charge is authorized by accepting these general terms.
Contact rjinternalmedicine@gmail.com promptly if you believe a donation was mistaken, duplicated, or unauthorized. Include the transaction reference, date, amount, and contact information; do not email full payment-card details. PSJ reviews requests, verifies the transaction, and arranges any approved refund through the payment provider where possible.
Voluntary gifts are generally intended to be final. Requests are considered individually, and these terms do not limit applicable mandatory refund or payment-dispute rights.
PSJ uses donor information to administer gifts, maintain required records, provide acknowledgments, and respond to requests. Donor names or other identifying information are not published without permission, except where disclosure is legally required. Donor information is not sold or used for behavioral advertising.
Applicable financial recordkeeping and legal holds may limit deletion. The privacy policy describes service providers, rights requests, and retention.
An eligible reviewer may ask PSJ to direct the $20 honorarium to RJIM/PSJ or one of the charities offered in the review form instead of receiving payment. This election is administered under the reviewer honorarium terms and remains subject to review adequacy and approval.
A reviewer-directed payment is distinct from a direct gift made by the reviewer from their own funds. PSJ does not promise the reviewer a personal charitable deduction or issue a personal donation receipt merely because an honorarium is redirected. Finance records the actual recipient and payment and applies appropriate tax treatment.
Request the organization’s publicly disclosable exemption application, determination information, and applicable annual returns at rjinternalmedicine@gmail.com or through the contact form. PSJ handles requests under applicable public-inspection requirements, including required exclusions of protected information. A request for public documents does not require a donation.
