The Cureus Author Referral Program lets qualifying authors invite new colleagues to Cureus. When a referred author signs up via the referral link and submits their first article within 90 days, they get 25% off [Preferred Editing](https://www.cureus.com/cureus_editing_services).

Once that referred article is accepted for peer review, the referring author receives a 25% Preferred Editing discount credit. Both discounts apply to Preferred Editing fees, which authors pay when Cureus defers an article for Preferred Editing.

## Who is eligible to take part in the Cureus Author Referral Program?

The Cureus Author Referral Program is open to qualifying Cureus authors who have been invited to join.

Eligible referrers can generate a unique referral link and share it with colleagues, collaborators, trainees, students, researchers, physicians, clinicians, residents, fellows, and other healthcare professionals who are new to Cureus. New to Cureus means the colleague has not published an article with Cureus before and creates their account through the referral link.

The referred author must create a Cureus account through the referral link and submit their first article within 90 days of signing up.

## How does the Cureus referral process work?

The process starts with the referring author generating a personal referral link.

The referring author then shares that link with an eligible colleague who has not published with Cureus before. The colleague uses the referral link to create a Cureus account and must submit their first article within the 90-day eligibility window.

If the referred article is deferred for Preferred Editing, the referred author receives a 25% discount on Preferred Editing.

The referring author earns a 25% Preferred Editing discount credit once the referred author's article is accepted for [peer review](https://www.cureus.com/about_peer_review).

### What does the referring author receive?

For every successful referral, the referring author receives a 25% discount credit toward Preferred Editing.

The discount credit:

- Is granted once the referred author's article is accepted for peer review
- Stays valid for 12 months starting from the issue date
- Can be earned more than once through separate successful referrals
- Can't be combined with another referral discount on the same article

There is no limit to the number of referral discount credits an eligible author can earn.

### What does the referred author receive?

A referred author receives 25% off Preferred Editing when the eligibility requirements are met.

The referred author must:

- Be new to Cureus
- Create an account through the referring author's unique referral link
- Submit their first article within 90 days
- Be deferred for Preferred Editing for the discount to apply

Only one referral discount can be applied per article. [Cureus Honors](https://www.cureus.com/honors) discounts can't be combined with other offers.

## What can a referred author submit to Cureus?

Cureus accepts several article types, including:

- Case reports: Reports of unique, rare, or educational clinical cases
- Original articles: Original research across medical specialties
- Technical reports: Descriptions of procedures, techniques, or innovations
- Review articles: Articles that synthesize or examine existing literature
- Editorials: Perspectives or commentary on relevant topics

Authors who are deciding which article type fits their work can review the[Cureus Author Guide](https://www.cureus.com/author_guide/overview/introduction) or visit the[New Authors Hub](https://www.cureus.com/authors_hub) before beginning a submission.

## Why does the referral program have a 90-day deadline?

The referral benefit for the new author depends on when the first article is submitted.

After creating a Cureus account via a referral link, the referred author has 90 days to submit their first article. If the submission is made after that period, it no longer meets the referral program's stated timing requirement for the Preferred Editing discount.

Cureus referral emails include reminders as the deadline approaches, including a final reminder when only 14 days remain.

## When does the referring author earn the discount?

Generating or sharing a referral link alone does not create a discount credit.

The referring author gets the 25% Preferred Editing discount when the referred article is accepted for peer review.

A colleague creating an account through the referral link is the first step, but the referral becomes successful for the referring author's reward only after the referred article reaches the required stage.

## How can authors share their referral link?

A personal recommendation is usually enough.

Eligible Cureus authors can send their unique referral link directly to colleagues who may have research ready for submission. The message should make clear that the recipient must create their Cureus account through that specific link and submit their first article within 90 days to qualify for the referred-author benefit.

Authors can also direct colleagues to the[Cureus Author Guide](https://www.cureus.com/author_guide) before they submit so they can review article types and submission requirements.

## Ready to refer a colleague?

If you are eligible for the Cureus Author Referral Program, generate your referral link and share it with a colleague who is new to Cureus.

The referred author has 90 days to submit their first article. If the referral meets the program requirements, both authors can receive a 25% Preferred Editing benefit at the applicable stage.
