JPPMI | PUBLICATION CHARGES
Transparent publication charges, payment arrangements, and financial independence in scholarly publishing.
Jurnal Pengabdian dan Pengembangan Masyarakat Indonesia (JPPMI) is an open-access, peer-reviewed journal published by CV Media Publikasi Cendekia Indonesia.
JPPMI applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) to manuscripts that have been formally accepted for publication. No payment is required for the initial submission or peer-review process.
Publication charges are administered separately from scholarly evaluation. All manuscripts are assessed according to editorial quality, relevance to the journal's scope, originality, ethical compliance, and peer-review findings.
| Fee Category | Amount | Payment Stage |
|---|---|---|
| Manuscript submission | No fee | Not applicable |
| Peer review | No fee | Not applicable |
| Article Processing Charge (APC) | IDR 1,500,000 | After formal acceptance |
The APC applies per accepted article. Authors are not required to pay an APC when their manuscript is submitted, screened, or reviewed.
The APC contributes to the operational and publication-related costs associated with preparing accepted manuscripts for public dissemination.
Activities supported by publication revenue may include:
The APC is a publishing charge and must not be interpreted as a payment for favorable peer-review recommendations, automatic acceptance, or preferential editorial treatment.
APC payment is requested only after the editorial team has issued a formal acceptance decision.
STEP 01
The manuscript completes the required editorial and peer-review assessments. The authorized editor issues the formal acceptance decision.
STEP 02
The corresponding author receives the applicable APC amount and authorized payment instructions through official journal correspondence.
STEP 03
The author follows the official payment instructions and provides the required transaction information for administrative verification.
STEP 04
The accepted manuscript proceeds through the remaining applicable production and quality-control stages before publication.
Payment Security: Authors should verify payment instructions through the journal's authorized communication channels. Payments should not be sent to unverified accounts or individuals claiming to offer guaranteed acceptance or expedited publication.
The assessment and publication of manuscripts are governed by academic and ethical standards, independent of payment considerations.
JPPMI applies double-anonymous peer review to manuscripts that pass initial editorial screening. Qualified independent reviewers evaluate the scholarly quality and credibility of submitted work.
Reviewer recommendations and editorial decisions are not influenced by the ability or willingness of authors to pay the APC.
Payment after acceptance does not exempt an article from remaining production checks, correction of identified errors, or appropriate action if serious ethical or publication integrity concerns subsequently arise.
Authors who face financial constraints may contact the journal's authorized administrative office to inquire whether any fee reduction or waiver arrangement is available for their circumstances.
A request for financial assistance does not automatically establish eligibility, and the submission of a request does not guarantee approval.
Any reduction, waiver, or special arrangement must be explicitly authorized and confirmed in writing before payment. The applicable amount should be reflected in the official payment instructions.
Financial assistance inquiries must remain separate from the scientific evaluation of manuscripts. No waiver percentage, quota, or automatic entitlement is established by this statement.
Authors are expected to review the applicable publication charges and refund conditions before making APC payment.
Under the journal's Refund Policy, an APC that has been paid following formal acceptance is not refundable when the author subsequently withdraws the article, including withdrawal before publication or during production.
This condition also applies when an accepted and paid article is withdrawn following the identification of serious scientific or publication integrity concerns, subject to applicable legal obligations.
Payment errors, possible duplicate payments, incorrect amounts, or other documented administrative disputes may be referred for separate examination. Such requests do not automatically establish a right to reimbursement and will be assessed according to the verified circumstances and applicable obligations.
The APC is charged to support publication services; it is not a subscription fee charged to readers.
Published JPPMI articles are freely accessible to readers without payment or subscription.
Authors retain copyright and grant JPPMI first-publication and applicable non-exclusive publishing rights.
Unless otherwise specified on an individual published article, the version of record is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0).
For inquiries about invoices, authorized payment instructions, payment confirmation, and possible administrative discrepancies, authors should use the journal's official communication channels.
When reporting a payment-related issue, authors should provide the manuscript ID, corresponding author's name, article title, payment reference, and relevant transaction documentation.
Authors should not disclose OJS passwords, banking credentials, or other unnecessary sensitive information when requesting assistance.
JPPMI is committed to transparent publication charges and the separation of financial administration from independent editorial decision-making.
The standard APC is IDR 1,500,000 per accepted article, payable only after formal editorial acceptance. No submission or peer-review charges are imposed.
Authors should rely on the current published fee policy and authorized written payment instructions. Any formally approved fee adjustment should be documented before payment, and any future changes to the standard APC should be publicly communicated.
