Article Processing Charge

SEMESTA: Journal of Community Empowerment is committed to supporting the wide dissemination of high-quality scholarly work while maintaining an affordable publication process.

Upon acceptance for publication, authors are required to pay an Article Processing Charge (APC) of IDR 150,000. This fee is used solely to support the editorial process, peer review management, copyediting, layout editing, DOI registration, online publication, website maintenance, and long-term digital archiving.

There are no submission fees. The APC is charged only after the manuscript has successfully passed the peer-review process and has been formally accepted for publication.

The Editorial Board recognizes that financial circumstances may vary among authors. Requests for partial fee waivers or reductions may be considered in exceptional cases, particularly for authors from low-income institutions or countries. Such requests will be evaluated individually and will not influence the editorial decision regarding manuscript acceptance.

For further information regarding publication charges or waiver requests, please contact the Editorial Office at journalsemesta@gmail.com.
