To support the publication of high-quality, open-access legal scholarship, the Indonesia Media Law Review applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of IDR 250,000 for each manuscript accepted for publication. Kindly note that editing, typesetting, and final proofreading services are not included in this fee and will be billed separately, if applicable.
The APC is charged only after the manuscript has successfully completed the peer-review process and received formal acceptance from the Editorial Board. There are no submission fees or review fees for manuscripts under consideration.
However, 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:
- Editorial management and administration
- Double-blind peer-review coordination
- 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
