Article Processing Charge

Journal of Natural Sciences JNS is committed to providing an accessible and transparent publication process for authors. To support the editorial, peer-review, production, website management, and publication processes, the journal may apply an Article Processing Charge (APC) to accepted manuscripts.

The applicable publication fee is:

Article Processing Charge (APC): IDR 0_- per accepted article.

The APC is charged only after a manuscript has been accepted for publication. Submission of a manuscript and participation in the peer-review process do not guarantee acceptance and are not subject to an acceptance fee.

The APC covers the administrative and publication processes associated with the accepted article, including:

• Editorial and administrative processing;
• Peer-review management;
• Manuscript editing and formatting;
• Article layout and publication;
• Online hosting and dissemination of the published article; and
• Maintenance of the journal's publishing platform.

No additional publication fees will be charged beyond the stated APC, unless additional charges are explicitly communicated to and agreed upon by the author.

Authors should not make any payment before receiving an official notification of acceptance and payment instructions from the journal.

Waiver and Financial Assistance

Authors who experience genuine financial difficulties may contact the editorial office to request consideration for an APC waiver or reduction. Requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis and will not influence the editorial decision or peer-review process.

Journal of Natural Sciences is committed to ensuring that financial considerations do not compromise the quality, fairness, independence, or integrity of the editorial and peer-review process.
