APC for all authors (domestic and international): USD 450

This Article Processing Charge (APC) is effective starting from January 1, 2026. For payments made in Indonesian Rupiah (IDR), the APC amount will be calculated based on the prevailing USD exchange rate on the date of payment.

The APC is applied solely to cover essential journal operational costs, including editorial management, a rigorous and independent double-blind peer review process, professional copyediting, article layout and production, online hosting, and long-term digital preservation.

The Journal of Public Health and Pharmacy applies a strict policy of no submission fees. The APC is charged only after a manuscript has been formally accepted for publication. No fees are requested or collected during submission, peer review, or editorial evaluation.

Payment of the APC does not influence editorial decisions. All manuscripts are evaluated exclusively on the basis of scientific merit, methodological rigor, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal’s scope.

The journal supports an Open Access publishing model, ensuring that all accepted articles are freely and permanently accessible to readers worldwide.

Waiver and Refund Policy: APC waivers or partial reductions may be considered on a case-by-case basis for authors from low- and lower-middle-income countries, or in exceptional circumstances with clear justification. Requests for waivers must be submitted prior to final acceptance. Refunds are not applicable once the publication process has commenced.
