Publication Fee

JIKO Author Fees Policy

To ensure the sustainability and quality of our open-access publishing model, JIKO applies the following author fees. These fees cover the costs of submission handling, editorial processing, peer-review management, publication, and online hosting services. The detailed breakdown is as follows:

  • Submission Fee: IDR 0
    This fee is charged at the time of manuscript submission to cover initial screening, plagiarism checks, and administrative processing. This fee is non-refundable regardless of the editorial decision.

  • Editorial Processing Charges (EPC): IDR 0
    This fee supports the editorial work including desk review, assignment to editors and reviewers, and manuscript tracking through the editorial workflow.

  • Article Processing Charges (APCs): IDR 750,000
    This fee is charged upon acceptance of the manuscript for publication. It covers peer review coordination, layout formatting, metadata assignment, DOI registration, and open-access dissemination.

  • Page Charges:
    Each article includes up to 16 pages under the standard APC. Any additional pages will incur an extra charge of IDR 10,000 per page.

  • Colour Charges:
    Colour figures are welcome and are published at no additional cost in the online version. If printed colour pages are requested (if applicable), additional charges may apply.

  • Fast Track Review Fee: IDR 300,000
    This optional fee is for authors who wish to expedite the peer-review and editorial decision process. By paying this fee, the editorial decision and notification will be guaranteed within 7 days.
    Note:

    • Fast track does not guarantee acceptance; it only accelerates the editorial decision-making process.

    • The actual processing time also depends on the author's responsiveness during the revision stages.

Waivers and Payment Flexibility

  • JIKO may grant partial or full waivers of APCs and Fast Track Review Fees for authors facing financial hardship, students, or authors from low-income countries, upon request and editorial board approval.

  • Authors may also request a payment extension (delayed payment) under special circumstances. Requests must be made in writing and approved by the editorial office prior to the publication decision.

Article Withdrawal Charges

  • If an author chooses to withdraw a manuscript after peer review has commenced, a withdrawal fee may be charged, not exceeding the total APC (IDR 750,000).

  • However, no withdrawal fee is applied if the manuscript is withdrawn before entering the peer-review stage or due to delays attributable to the journal.
