Finance, Administration and Operations · Finance Manager, ORIC
Muniba Farooqi is a Director of Link Medical Interface and leads finance, administration, and operations.
Finance. Budgeting, financial controls, procurement, payroll, receivables, and reporting across the clinic, the research office, the publishing division, and the education programmes.
Publication fees. She administers the collection of article processing charges — and the structural point worth stating is that this function sits entirely outside the editorial process. Fees are raised only after a manuscript has been formally accepted, by editors who have no visibility of payment status. The person who invoices an author takes no part in deciding whether that author is published, and the people who decide take no part in the invoicing. That separation is not incidental. It is the mechanism by which a fee-charging open-access journal remains a journal rather than a shop.
Waivers. She administers waiver requests, which are made after acceptance and therefore cannot affect a decision already taken.
On the Institutional Review Board. As a Director of this company, she may not sit on the Board.
