Article Processing Charge

Article Processing Charge Policy

The Journal of Applied Informatics Science (JAIS) is an open access journal committed to making high-quality scholarly research freely accessible to readers worldwide. To support editorial management, peer-review administration, copyediting, typesetting, online publication, DOI registration, digital preservation, and journal maintenance, JAIS applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted manuscripts.

There are no submission charges. Authors may submit manuscripts free of charge. The APC is only required after the manuscript has successfully passed the peer-review process and has been formally accepted for publication.

Article Processing Charge

The APC for each accepted article is:

  • IDR 200,000 (for authors from Indonesia)
  • USD 15 (for international authors)

The APC is charged once per accepted article, regardless of the number of authors.

What the APC Covers

The APC supports the following publishing services:

  • Editorial screening and manuscript management
  • Double-blind peer review administration
  • Professional copyediting and proofreading
  • Article layout and typesetting
  • DOI registration through Crossref
  • Online publication with immediate open access
  • Long-term digital preservation
  • Website hosting and journal management
  • Metadata indexing and dissemination

Payment Procedure

Authors will receive an APC payment notification only after their manuscript has been accepted for publication.

Payment instructions, including available payment methods, will be provided by the editorial office.

Publication will proceed after the APC payment has been confirmed.

Waiver and Discount Policy

At present, JAIS does not provide a general APC waiver or discount program.

However, in exceptional circumstances, the Editor-in-Chief may consider requests for partial or full APC waivers based on justified reasons, including but not limited to:

  • Authors from low-income or lower-middle-income countries.
  • Authors with demonstrated financial hardship.
  • Special invitations or strategic collaborations approved by the Editorial Board.

Requests for APC waivers must be submitted before publication, and approval is solely at the discretion of the Editorial Board.

The editorial decision regarding manuscript acceptance is completely independent of the author's ability to pay the APC.

No Additional Fees

JAIS does not charge additional fees for:

  • Manuscript submission
  • Peer review
  • Editorial evaluation
  • Article revisions
  • Color figures
  • Supplementary materials
  • Online publication

Authors are required to pay only the APC after acceptance, unless otherwise stated.
