Author Fee

1. Article Processing Charge (APC)

ADI Journal of Community Service (ADIMAS Journal) applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) to support the editorial management, manuscript preparation, publication, and maintenance of its open access publishing services. The APC is payable by the authors, their affiliated institutions, or research funders for each manuscript accepted for publication.

The Article Processing Charge for ADIMAS Journal is:

IDR 500,000

The APC is charged only after a manuscript has successfully completed the peer review process and received an official acceptance decision. Payment of the APC does not guarantee acceptance or influence editorial decisions.

2. Additional Author Charges

The standard APC covers the publication of manuscripts up to 12 pages. For manuscripts exceeding the standard page limit, an additional charge applies as follows:

  • First 12 pages: Included in the standard APC of IDR 500,000.
  • Additional pages: IDR 100,000 per page for each page exceeding the first 12 pages.

The additional page charge is calculated based on the final manuscript length after the editorial and layout preparation process.

3. What the APC Covers

The APC supports the following publication-related services:

  1. Editorial and Publication Management: Administrative and editorial processing of accepted manuscripts throughout the publication workflow.
  2. DOI Registration: Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registration for each published article to facilitate permanent identification, citation, and discoverability.
  3. Similarity Checking: Manuscript similarity screening using Turnitin. The final similarity report may be provided to authors upon request.
  4. Layout and Formatting: Manuscript layout editing and formatting in accordance with the journal's official template and publication standards.
  5. Online Open Access Publication: Electronic publication and online accessibility of the accepted article through the journal's website.

4. Submission and Payment Policy

The APC applies only to manuscripts that have been formally accepted for publication. Authors are not required to make any APC payment during the initial submission or peer review process.

Payment instructions will be communicated to the corresponding author after the manuscript receives an official acceptance notification. Authors are responsible for ensuring that the applicable publication charges are settled in accordance with the instructions provided by the journal.

The editorial evaluation, peer review process, and acceptance decision are conducted independently of payment arrangements. No manuscript will be accepted solely on the basis of payment.

5. Waiver and Partial Fee Reduction Policy

ADIMAS Journal recognizes that authors may experience financial limitations that affect their ability to cover publication charges. Therefore, the journal may consider requests for discounts, partial fee reductions, or other reasonable APC adjustments under certain circumstances.

Waiver or partial fee reduction requests may be considered in the following circumstances:

  • Limited research funding or financial constraints faced by the authors.
  • Manuscripts with exceptional length or additional publication-related requirements.
  • Other reasonable circumstances supported by an explanation from the corresponding author.

All waiver or partial fee reduction requests must be submitted through the Comments for the Editor field during the initial manuscript submission. Authors should provide a clear explanation and relevant supporting information, where applicable.

Requests submitted after the initial submission stage may not be considered. All requests are subject to editorial assessment and approval. The journal reserves the right to determine the extent of any fee reduction based on the circumstances presented.

6. Editorial Independence and Peer Review

ADIMAS Journal maintains strict editorial independence in all publication decisions. The payment of APCs, requests for fee waivers, or approval of partial fee reductions have no influence on the peer review process, reviewer recommendations, or editorial decisions regarding manuscript acceptance or rejection.

All manuscripts are evaluated based on their relevance to the journal's aims and scope, originality, scholarly quality, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and contribution to community service knowledge and practice.

7. Transparency and Contact Information

ADIMAS Journal is committed to maintaining transparency regarding all publication charges and waiver arrangements. The APC and additional page charges are publicly disclosed on this page to ensure that authors are informed of the applicable costs before submitting their manuscripts.

Any updates to the journal's publication fee policy will be announced through the official journal website.
