Author Fees

Introduction: IJEN: Indonesian Journal on Education and Learning is dedicated to maintaining open access to scholarly research while ensuring the sustainability and quality of the publication process. To support these goals, the journal may require authors to pay article processing charges (APCs). The following outlines the Author Fees policy of IJEN.

1. Article Processing Charges (APCs): Authors or their institutions may be required to pay APCs upon the acceptance of their manuscripts for publication. These charges contribute to the cost of editorial processes, peer review, production, and maintenance of the open-access platform. The specific APC amount is determined by the journal and may be subject to change. However, IJEN is committed to transparency in its fee structure.

2. Fee Waivers or Discounts: IJEN recognizes that financial constraints may exist for some authors, particularly those from low-income countries or institutions. Authors facing difficulties covering the APCs are encouraged to contact the editorial office to discuss the possibility of fee waivers or discounts. IJEN is committed to ensuring that the ability to pay does not hinder access to publication.

3. Waivers for Special Circumstances: In exceptional cases, where authors can demonstrate financial hardship, waivers may be granted at the discretion of the editorial board. Authors seeking a waiver should provide a formal request, explaining the circumstances, during the submission process or upon notification of acceptance.

4. Payment Process: Authors will be informed about the APCs upon acceptance of their manuscripts. The payment process details, including payment methods and deadlines, will be provided in the acceptance notification. Payments are typically processed through secure online platforms.

5. Funding Acknowledgment: Authors are encouraged to acknowledge any funding received for their research in the manuscript. Funding agencies that support open access publishing may have specific requirements regarding acknowledgment in the published article.

6. Refund Policy: APCs are generally non-refundable. However, in exceptional cases, such as duplicate payments or overpayments, authors can contact the editorial office for a review and potential resolution.

Conclusion: The Author Fees policy of IJEN reflects our commitment to maintaining high-quality open access publishing while considering the financial circumstances of authors. The revenue generated from APCs directly supports the sustainability and growth of the journal, ensuring the continued dissemination of valuable research in the field of education and learning. IJEN appreciates the understanding and collaboration of authors in contributing to the open access mission.
