About the Journal

Journal Identity · Scholarly Scope · Publishing Model

Advances in Human Resource Management Research (AHRMR) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by Yayasan Pendidikan Bukhari Dwi Muslim. The journal advances theory, evidence, and practice across the fields explicitly included in its current Aims & Scope and welcomes rigorous scholarship from diverse institutional, sectoral, national, and international contexts.

AHRMR has particular interest in Asia-Pacific and emerging-economy contexts while remaining open to high-quality international, comparative, cross-cultural, and globally relevant scholarship from all regions.

Journal Identity

The journal title is Advances in Human Resource Management Research, abbreviated as AHRMR. Its E-ISSN and ISSN-L are 2985-7570, and articles are registered under the DOI prefix 10.60079. AHRMR is published online in English and is currently accredited at SINTA 2.

Scholarly Scope

AHRMR covers human resource management, organizational behavior, leadership, management and organizational development, employment and workforce studies, labor-related research, digital HRM, artificial intelligence and technology, sustainability and ESG, human capital, governance, accounting, finance, taxation, auditing, marketing and consumer research, entrepreneurship, innovation, business performance, economics, trade, regional development, technology and engineering management, health management, and other fields explicitly stated in the current AHRMR Aims & Scope.

All fields expressly included in the AHRMR Aims & Scope form part of the journal's main scholarly scope. Their order of presentation does not indicate priority, hierarchy, or secondary status. A manuscript does not need to add an HRM, employee, workforce, or workplace variable merely to establish eligibility when its subject already falls within a stated scope area.

Scholarly Evaluation

Studies may address one field or combine multiple fields covered by AHRMR. Manuscripts are evaluated according to the clarity and relevance of the research or review problem, scholarly grounding, methodological or review-methodological rigor, research integrity, quality of analysis or synthesis, relevance to the journal's stated scope, and contribution to knowledge or practice. Cross-disciplinary research is welcome but is not required.

Accepted Manuscript Types

AHRMR accepts two manuscript types only: Research Paper and Literature Review Paper. Research Papers present original research using defensible methods appropriate to the research question, while Literature Review Papers provide rigorous and transparent scholarly synthesis. Individual research designs, statistical procedures, analytical techniques, datasets, or review approaches do not constitute separate manuscript types.

Peer Review & Editorial Independence

AHRMR applies double-anonymous peer review. Manuscripts that pass editorial screening are normally evaluated by at least two independent reviewers with relevant scholarly expertise. Reviewer recommendations are advisory, and final scientific-editorial responsibility remains with the responsible academic editor and, where applicable, the Editor-in-Chief.

Editorial decisions are based on scholarly merit, relevance, originality, methodological or review-methodological quality, research integrity, peer-review evidence, author responses, and journal policies. Publisher ownership, APC payment, waiver status, sponsorship, or other financial considerations do not determine scientific-editorial decisions.

Open Access, Copyright & Licensing

AHRMR provides immediate Open Access to published articles. Authors retain copyright in their work, and articles are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), allowing lawful reuse, distribution, and adaptation with appropriate attribution.

Article Processing Charge

For an accepted manuscript with at least one author institutionally affiliated in Indonesia, the current AHRMR APC is IDR 5,000,000. Manuscripts whose authors are all institutionally affiliated exclusively outside Indonesia receive a full APC waiver / IDR 0. APC eligibility is based on institutional affiliation rather than nationality, citizenship, or residence.

No APC is payable during submission, editorial screening, peer review, revision, or other pre-acceptance stages. APC or waiver administration begins only after final editorial acceptance and remains separate from scientific-editorial decision-making.

Publication Model

Continuous publication applies prospectively from 1 September 2026, allowing publication-ready articles to be released within the applicable active issue after the required editorial, post-acceptance, production, and metadata stages have been completed. Historical Volume 4 (2026) and earlier records retain their original publication dates and bibliographic metadata.

Article Processing Charge

Post-Acceptance Administration · Affiliation-Based APC · Editorial Independence

Advances in Human Resource Management Research (AHRMR) applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) only to accepted manuscripts that meet the applicable institutional-affiliation criteria. No APC is payable during submission, editorial screening, peer review, revision, post-revision verification, or any other pre-acceptance stage.

APC or waiver administration begins only after the manuscript has completed the required scientific-editorial process and received a final editorial decision of acceptance.

APC Rate & Waiver

For an accepted manuscript where at least one author is institutionally affiliated with an institution in Indonesia, the standard AHRMR APC is IDR 5,000,000 per accepted manuscript.

Where all authors are institutionally affiliated exclusively with institutions outside Indonesia, the manuscript receives a full APC waiver / IDR 0. A separate waiver application is not normally required once the relevant affiliations have been verified.

APC and waiver eligibility are determined by institutional affiliation, not nationality, citizenship, residence, passport, or another personal characteristic. Mixed authorship that includes at least one institutional affiliation in Indonesia is subject to the standard APC.

No Additional Mandatory Author Fees

AHRMR does not charge a mandatory submission fee, peer-review fee, page charge, color-figure charge, mandatory language-editing fee, or separate withdrawal fee. Authors are not required to purchase additional commercial, editorial, or publication services as a condition of manuscript consideration or acceptance.

Editorial Independence

APC payment, ability to pay, non-payment before an APC becomes due, waiver eligibility, or waiver status does not influence editorial screening, reviewer selection, peer review, reviewer recommendations, revision requirements, scientific evaluation, acceptance, or rejection. Payment does not purchase acceptance, favorable review, editorial preference, or expedited scientific treatment.

APC Administration After Acceptance

After final editorial acceptance, the Editorial Office verifies the manuscript's APC or waiver status from the authors' institutional affiliations. Where the APC applies, the corresponding author receives an official AHRMR invoice containing the applicable amount and authorized payment instructions.

Authors should not make APC payments during submission or peer review and should not make payments based on unofficial requests, intermediaries, personal accounts, or third-party claims of guaranteed acceptance or publication.

Publication Workflow

The normal process is Submission → Editorial Screening → Independent Peer Review → Revision → Post-Revision Verification → Final Editorial Acceptance → APC or Waiver Verification → Post-Acceptance Administration → Copyediting → Proofreading & Production → Metadata Verification → Version of Record → Online Publication.

Post-acceptance administration prepares an already accepted manuscript for accurate publication and is not a continuation of ordinary peer review. Scientifically closed matters should be reopened only where a genuine scientific-integrity, ethical, legal, authorship, metadata, or publication blocker requires editorial attention.

Letter of Acceptance & Publication Timing

Where a formal Letter of Acceptance (LoA) is issued, it follows the final scientific-editorial acceptance decision. APC payment or waiver status does not create, purchase, or determine acceptance.

APC payment does not independently determine issue assignment, DOI registration date, publication date, production priority, or publication timing. These matters remain subject to completion of the required publication workflow and the journal's applicable publication schedule.

Withdrawal & Refund

Authors may request withdrawal by formally contacting the Editorial Office. Before APC payment, no APC or separate withdrawal fee is payable.

After APC payment and commencement of substantive post-acceptance publication services such as copyediting, production, DOI-related processing, or metadata preparation, the APC is normally non-refundable. Duplicate payments, overpayments, payment errors, or journal-attributable administrative problems are reviewed individually.

Payment Security

Authors should use only payment instructions stated in the official AHRMR invoice. The journal does not recognize unauthorized intermediaries, unofficial payment requests, or claims that payment can guarantee acceptance or publication. Bank or payment-account details are not published openly on this page.

Publication Model

AHRMR publishes one volume per calendar year with exactly three regular numbered issues. Beginning with Volume 5 (2027), the standardized issue periods are No. 1 January–April, No. 2 May–August, and No. 3 September–December. Continuous publication applies prospectively from 1 September 2026 within the applicable active issue and does not create an additional regular issue.

Current APC Policy & Contact

The current harmonized AHRMR APC framework applies prospectively from 1 September 2026. Legitimate historical invoices, administrative records, editorial decisions, and published scholarly records created under earlier policies remain part of the journal's historical record and are not retrospectively altered merely to match the current APC framework.
