Author Fee

Jurnal Ilmiah Penalaran dan Penelitian Mahasiswa does not charge any fees for manuscript submission or the initial peer-review process. Authors are not required to pay any submission fee or peer-review fee.

However, for manuscripts that have been officially accepted for publication, an Article Processing Charge (APC) will be applied when the manuscript enters the editing and production stage.

APC Rates

Regular Track

  • USD 7 for international authors
  • IDR 100,000 for Indonesian authors

Fast Track

  • USD 10 for international authors
  • IDR 150,000 for Indonesian authors

The APC is charged only after the manuscript has received an official acceptance decision from the editorial board. No publication fee is required before the manuscript is accepted.

The standard editorial and peer-review process generally takes approximately 2–3 months, depending on the review process, revisions, editorial decisions, and the volume of manuscripts being processed.

What the APC Covers

The Article Processing Charge supports the operational costs associated with the publication of accepted manuscripts, including:

  • Editorial management and peer-review administration
  • DOI registration and metadata management
  • Manuscript editing and proofreading
  • Layout and typesetting
  • Online publication
  • Digital preservation and permanent archiving
  • Journal platform and OJS maintenance

Payment Terms

  1. APC payment is required only after the manuscript has been officially accepted for publication.
  2. Payment instructions and official account details will be provided by the editorial team after acceptance.
  3. Authors must submit proof of payment through the journal's official email or the OJS system, as instructed by the editorial team.
  4. APC payments are non-refundable once the manuscript has entered the editing and production stage.

Waiver Policy

The journal recognizes that some authors may face financial limitations in covering publication costs. APC waiver or reduction requests may be considered on a case-by-case basis, particularly for authors from low-income countries or authors who do not have access to institutional or research funding.

Authors who wish to request an APC waiver or reduction should contact the editorial board before submitting the manuscript. The request should briefly explain the financial circumstances and, where applicable, the absence of institutional or research funding.

Waiver requests will be considered independently and will not influence the editorial or peer-review decision regarding the manuscript.

For further information regarding APC payments, waiver requests, or publication procedures, authors may contact the editorial team through the journal's official communication channels.
