Jurnal Sosial Humaniora (JSH) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scholarly journal published by CV. Surya Buana through its scholarly publishing platform, Surya Buana Consulting. To support sustainable scholarly publishing and maintain the quality of editorial and publication services, JSH applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) to manuscripts accepted for publication.

1. Publication Fees

JSH applies the following fee structure:

Fee Category Amount
Article Submission Fee IDR 0 (Free)
Peer Review Fee IDR 0 (Free)
Fast-Track Review Not available
Article Processing Charge (APC) IDR 500,000 per accepted article

The Article Processing Charge is IDR 500,000 (five hundred thousand Indonesian rupiah) per article and applies equally to manuscripts written in Bahasa Indonesia and English.

The APC is charged only after a manuscript has successfully completed the editorial evaluation and peer-review process and has been formally accepted for publication.

2. What Does the APC Cover?

The Article Processing Charge contributes to the operational costs of scholarly publishing, including:

  • Editorial administration and manuscript management.
  • Maintenance and operation of the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.
  • Manuscript copyediting and publication preparation.
  • Article layout, formatting, and proofreading coordination.
  • DOI registration and publication metadata management.
  • Online hosting, digital publication, and journal website maintenance.
  • Long-term accessibility and dissemination of published articles.

The APC supports publication services and does not constitute payment for manuscript acceptance or favorable peer-review outcomes.

3. Payment Procedure

Authors are required to pay the Article Processing Charge only after receiving an official Letter of Acceptance (LoA) from the JSH Editorial Team.

The payment procedure is as follows:

  1. The manuscript undergoes editorial screening and peer review.
  2. The designated editor issues a final acceptance decision based on the manuscript's scholarly merit.
  3. The Corresponding Author receives an official Letter of Acceptance (LoA) and payment instructions.
  4. The Corresponding Author completes the APC payment through the official payment channel designated by CV. Surya Buana.
  5. Proof of payment is submitted to the authorized journal administration for verification.
  6. Once payment has been verified and all publication requirements have been fulfilled, the manuscript proceeds to the final publication stage.

Authors should make payments only through payment details officially communicated by JSH or CV. Surya Buana.

4. Editorial Independence and Publication Ethics

Payment of the APC does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or publication.

All submissions are evaluated based on originality, relevance to the journal's Focus and Scope, methodological rigor, scholarly contribution, and compliance with publication ethics.

Editorial decisions are made independently by the designated editors, based on the evaluation process and peer-review recommendations.

The APC amount, payment status, or financial considerations must not influence peer-review findings, editorial decisions, or the academic treatment of submitted manuscripts.

JSH does not offer paid fast-track peer review or preferential acceptance in exchange for additional payments.

5. Open Access and Copyright

Articles published in JSH are freely accessible to readers without subscription fees or access charges.

Payment of the APC does not transfer copyright ownership to the publisher. Authors retain copyright to their scholarly works and grant JSH the right of first publication.

Published articles are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License (CC BY-SA 4.0), in accordance with the journal's Open Access Policy.
