Article Processing Charges

To support the publication of high-quality, open-access legal scholarship, the Indonesia Media Law Review (IMREV) applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) for each manuscript accepted for publication.

Article Processing Charge (APC)

IDR 250,000

Payable only after the manuscript has successfully completed peer review and received formal acceptance from the Editorial Board.

Additional Publishing Services

Editing, typesetting, and final proofreading are not included in the APC. These services will be billed separately, if applicable.

There are no submission fees or review fees for manuscripts under consideration.

Manuscript Withdrawal Policy

The journal reserves the right to impose administrative or review-related charges on authors who withdraw their manuscripts during the peer-review process or after the peer-review process has been completed. Such charges may be applied to cover editorial and peer-review costs that have already been incurred by the journal.

What the APC Covers

The APC contributes to the costs associated with the following publishing activities and services:

  • Editorial management and administration
  • Coordination of the double-blind peer-review process
  • Professional copyediting and proofreading
  • Typesetting and article layout preparation
  • DOI registration and metadata management
  • Online publication and website maintenance
  • Digital archiving and long-term preservation
  • Abstracting and indexing services
  • Open-access dissemination, ensuring free and immediate access to published articles worldwide

Editorial Independence: Payment of the APC does not guarantee acceptance or influence editorial decisions. All manuscripts are evaluated based on their quality, relevance, originality, and the outcome of the editorial and peer-review processes.
