Article Fee

To support the sustainability of open-access publishing, each accepted manuscript in the Journal of Community Service of Science (JCSS) is subject to a Publication Fee of IDR 300,000 (three hundred thousand rupiah).

This fee covers:

  • Editorial processing and manuscript handling

  • Double-blind peer review management

  • Journal website maintenance and OJS hosting

  • DOI registration and indexing services

  • Open access availability for all readers

Fast-Track Review Option

For authors who wish to receive priority processing and accelerated review, JCSS offers a Fast-Track Review service with a fee of IDR 500,000 (five hundred thousand rupiah).

  • Fast-track submissions are reviewed and processed more quickly than the standard track.

  • This option does not guarantee acceptance; the manuscript must still pass peer review and editorial decisions.

Important Notes

  • The fee is charged only after the manuscript is accepted for publication (except for Fast-Track requests, which may require partial advance confirmation).

  • There is no submission fee; authors are free to submit manuscripts without initial charges.

  • Payment details and instructions will be provided to authors with the acceptance notification.

  • Requests for waivers or discounts may be considered in special cases (e.g., community-based projects without funding), subject to the Editor-in-Chief’s approval.
