Article Processing Charge (APC)

Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat is an Open Access journal. To maintain the high quality of our publication services, we apply a transparent and reasonable Article Processing Charge (APC). No submission fee is charged at the initial manuscript submission stage.

Payment Policy & Instructions

• Payment Timing: Authors will receive an official invoice from the managing editor only after the manuscript is declared suitable for further review or accepted for publication.
• Non-Refundable: Once the APC is paid and the article is published, the fee is non-refundable.
• Proof of Payment: Authors must upload the transfer receipt via the provided Google Form and send a confirmation message to the managing editor via WhatsApp to proceed with the publication process.

APC Waiver & Discount Policy

To foster global academic collaboration, Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat provides a special APC Waiver and Discount policy exclusively for manuscripts involving international (foreign) authors. This policy does not apply to manuscripts authored entirely by domestic (Indonesian) researchers.

1. Waiver & Discount Tiers

• Full Waiver (100% APC Waiver): Granted if all authors listed on the manuscript are affiliated with institutions outside of Indonesia (full international authorship).
• Partial Waiver (50% APC Discount): Granted for manuscripts with mixed authorship, where at least one or some (but not all) authors are affiliated with institutions outside of Indonesia, collaborating with domestic authors.

2. How to Request

• Waiver or discount requests must be submitted before or at the time of initial manuscript submission. Requests made after manuscript acceptance will not be considered.
• Send a formal request email to jpm@asia.ac.id including:
  • Manuscript title and full list of authors with their institutional affiliations (to verify international status).
  • A brief statement explicitly requesting the Full Waiver or 50% Discount based on the authorship composition.
