Article Processing Charge
Publication Charges, Payment Procedure & Editorial Independence

Advances: Jurnal Ekonomi & Bisnis (AJEB) is an open-access journal. An Article Processing Charge (APC) applies only to manuscripts that have completed the journal's academic editorial and peer-review process and have received a final acceptance decision.

No APC is payable during submission, initial editorial screening, peer review, revision, or before the manuscript receives a formal acceptance decision.

APC revenue supports journal operations including manuscript management, editorial administration, publication production, digital infrastructure, metadata preparation, archiving, dissemination, and long-term accessibility of published scholarly content.

 
Core Principle
Editorial decisions are independent of APC payment.
Manuscripts are evaluated on scholarly merit, relevance to AJEB's Aims & Scope, methodological quality, research integrity, independent peer-review evidence, author responses, and compliance with journal policies. Payment status or an author's ability to pay does not influence reviewer selection, reviewer recommendations, or editorial decisions.
APC Rate
STANDARD ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGE
IDR 750,000
Per accepted manuscript

The standard APC for an accepted manuscript in AJEB is IDR 750,000. The charge becomes applicable only after the manuscript has received final acceptance.

Waiver & Discount Consideration

Requests for APC waivers or discounts may be considered in exceptional circumstances. Any request should be communicated to the Editorial Office before payment. Consideration of a waiver or discount is administratively separate from the scholarly editorial and peer-review process.

Other Author Charges
No Submission or Pre-Review Processing Fee
  • No submission fee
  • No pre-review processing fee
  • No payment required during editorial screening
  • No payment required during peer review
  • No payment required during revision

Authors are not required to purchase editing, proofreading, formatting, consulting, or other commercial services as a condition of manuscript submission, peer review, editorial consideration, or acceptance.

Editorial & APC Workflow
Submission → Editorial Screening → Independent Peer Review → Revision → Editorial Evaluation → Final Decision → Acceptance / LoA → APC Information → Payment Verification → Copyediting & Production → Publication

A Letter of Acceptance (LoA) is issued only after the manuscript has completed the required academic editorial and peer-review process and has received final acceptance. APC payment does not determine manuscript acceptance.

Payment Procedure

Authors are not required to make any APC payment during submission, editorial screening, peer review, or revision.

After final acceptance, the Editorial Office provides the applicable APC information and authorized payment instructions through official journal communication channels.

Publication production proceeds after the applicable administrative requirements and payment verification have been completed.

No Advance Payment
AJEB does not require APC payment as a condition for manuscript submission, external peer review, favorable reviewer recommendation, revision, or an editorial acceptance decision.
Editorial Independence

APC administration is separate from the journal's academic decision-making process. Editors and reviewers evaluate manuscripts independently of authors' payment status or ability to pay.

The same Aims & Scope, editorial screening, peer-review, research-integrity, and publication criteria apply to all manuscripts.

Withdrawal & Refund

Authors who wish to withdraw a manuscript under consideration should submit a formal request to the Editorial Office and wait for confirmation that the manuscript is no longer under consideration before submitting it elsewhere.

Before APC Payment
No APC is payable because the manuscript has not entered the APC payment stage.
After APC Payment
Once payment has been verified and publication production has commenced, refund requests are reviewed by the Editorial Office according to the circumstances of the case and the publication work already undertaken.
Payment Security
Official Payment Instructions Required
Authors should make APC payments only after final acceptance and only according to payment instructions communicated through official AJEB or publisher channels.

AJEB has no collaboration or affiliation with any third party claiming to offer guaranteed publication. Acceptance and publication decisions are based solely on the journal's academic editorial and peer-review procedures.

For security and administrative reasons, bank or payment-account details are not published on this webpage. Official payment information is provided directly through authorized journal communication after final acceptance.

Authors receiving a suspicious payment request should verify the request with the AJEB Editorial Office before making any payment.
