Domestic authors are charged Rp 1.000.000 for fast-track processing, while international authors are charged USD 65. The printed copy fee is optional and only applicable for domestic authors who request a physical printed copy of the published issue; it is charged in addition to the standard APC.
What the APC Covers
- Editorial processing and plagiarism screening
- Double-blind peer review coordination
- Copyediting and typesetting of the final article
- DOI (Digital Object Identifier) registration
- Permanent open-access hosting under CC BY 4.0
Fast-Track Processing
Authors may request optional fast-track processing for an additional fee of Rp 1.000.000 for domestic authors or USD 65 for international authors. Fast-track processing is intended to accelerate editorial handling, peer review coordination, copyediting, typesetting, and publication processing where possible. However, fast-track processing does not guarantee acceptance, as all manuscripts remain subject to the journal's standard peer review and editorial decision-making process.
Payment Procedure
- Manuscript is peer-reviewed and revised until finalized.
- Author requests the APC invoice through the journal's OJS platform, including a fast-track processing request and/or printed copy request if desired.
- Payment is made based on the issued invoice.
- The Letter of Acceptance (LoA) is issued upon confirmation of payment.
Invoices and the LoA are delivered via WhatsApp, email, and through the corresponding submission on the OJS website.
Refund and Cancellation Policy
Once payment has been made and the Letter of Acceptance (LoA) has been issued, the APC, fast-track processing fee, and printed copy fee, if applicable, are strictly non-refundable, including in the event of a withdrawal or cancellation request by the author. This applies regardless of the reason, unless the issue is caused by an error attributable to the journal, such as duplicate charge or incorrect invoicing.
Fee Waiver
Authors from low-income institutions or with limited funding may request a partial or full APC waiver. Requests must be submitted in writing before manuscript submission via the Contact Us page, along with a brief justification. Waiver decisions do not affect the outcome of peer review.
