PUBLICATION FEES IMPLEMENTATION

Effective from the March 2027 Issue

The submission and publication fee policy described on this page applies to manuscripts submitted on or after 20 October 2026 for consideration in the March 2027 issue and subsequent issues of Jurnal Riset Kimia.

The fee schedule applicable to a manuscript is the schedule published by JRK at the time of submission. Manuscripts submitted before the effective date remain subject to the fee arrangements applicable when they were submitted.

PUBLICATION FEE OVERVIEW

Submission Fee

For manuscripts submitted under this fee schedule, a submission fee of IDR 250,000 per manuscript is charged. This fee covers initial administrative and editorial processing and is payable during the submission process.

The submission fee is non-refundable, as stated in the journal's official publication fee announcement. Payment of this fee does not guarantee that the manuscript will proceed to external peer review or be accepted for publication.

Article Processing Charge (APC)

Manuscripts submitted under this fee policy and subsequently accepted for publication are subject to a total Article Processing Charge (APC) of IDR 1,500,000, inclusive of the submission fee already paid.

The outstanding APC balance is payable only after formal manuscript acceptance. Authors are not required to pay the remaining APC balance during editorial screening or peer review.

Submission Fee Deduction from APC

For manuscripts accepted for publication, the IDR 250,000 submission fee already paid by the author will be credited toward the total APC of IDR 1,500,000. Therefore, the author is required to pay only the remaining APC balance of IDR 1,250,000 following formal acceptance.

The submission fee is included in, rather than added to, the total publication cost. Accordingly, the total journal charge for an accepted manuscript is IDR 1,500,000.

Scope and Transparency of Charges

The fees listed on this page are the only charges imposed by JRK for manuscript submission and publication. No separate charges apply for peer review, colour figures, additional pages, or supplementary files unless such charges are explicitly listed on this page before submission.

Any changes to the journal's fee schedule will be communicated publicly. The applicable submission and publication charges are determined by the fee schedule in effect at the time the manuscript is submitted.

Editorial Independence and Publication Decisions

Payment of the submission fee or APC does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or publication. All submissions undergo editorial screening and, where appropriate, external peer review in accordance with the journal's established editorial policies and academic quality standards.

Editorial screening, reviewer selection, peer-review recommendations, editorial assessments, and final publication decisions are independent of payment. Decisions are based on scientific quality, research integrity, ethical compliance, and suitability for publication in JRK.

Payment Information and Inquiries

Authors should obtain official payment instructions from the JRK Editorial Office and verify the payment details before making a transfer. Authors should retain their payment records and follow the journal's instructions for submitting proof of payment.
