Article Processing Charges (APCs)

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

Jurnal Sains Geografi (JSG) publishes all its articles in full open access format. The scientific community and the general public have, for free, unlimited and immediate access to all content published in JSG as soon as it is published on the Internet. This means that JSG does not receive any income from selling subscriptions to print or view online versions of its journals or from charging "pay-per-view" fees. Therefore, JSG needs to defray its editorial and production costs by collecting article processing charges (APCs) from authors' institutes or research funder.

• The value of JSG article processing charges (APCs) is USD 30 or equivalent to IDR 450,000.00. The APCs covers editorial services and production of an article. 
• Submission to JSG is free of charge. APCs are paid when the editor states that the articles are accepted for processing to the next process. 
• The JSG editor does not accept any payments to our bank account. All payments use a third partner. The editor will contact the author of the APCs issue when the status of the article is accepted by the two reviewers.
• There has been no APCs waiver since the Oktober 2026 submission.
