Article Processing Charges and Waiver Policy

Current Status

The article processing charge (APC) policy of IJMSTM has not yet been finalized. No publication fee amount has been approved or announced. Authors will not be asked to pay any fee until a fee schedule has been officially published on this page by Smart Global Nusantara (SGN Publisher).

If Charges Are Introduced

Any future charges will be announced publicly in advance, will apply only to manuscripts submitted after the announcement date, and will state clearly what the charge covers. Payment, if any, will be requested only after a manuscript has been accepted, so that editorial decisions remain independent of the author's ability to pay.

Waivers

The journal intends to provide a waiver or discount mechanism for authors who cannot pay. The conditions and application procedure will be published together with any fee schedule.
