Intellectual Property

The journal’s policies intellectual property are based on the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). According to the COPE, policies on intellectual property should include copyright, license, and cost associated with the journal publication. Based on this, the journal‘s policies can be explained as follow:

The copyright of each article is retained by the author(s).  The author grants the journal the first publication rights with the work simultaneously licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International, allowing others to share the work with an acknowledgment of authorship and the initial publication in this journal. Authors may enter into separate additional contractual agreements for the non-exclusive distribution of published journal versions of the work (for example, posting them to institutional repositories or publishing them in a book), with acknowledgment of their initial publication in this journal. Authors are permitted and encouraged to post their work online (For example in the Institutional Repository or on their website) before and during the submission process, as this can lead to productive exchanges, as well as earlier and larger citations of published work. Articles and all related material published are distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License.

The published content in this journal is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License. Anyone is free to Share (copy and redistribute the material in any medium or format) and Adapt (remix, transform, and build upon the material for any purpose, even commercially) under the following terms: Attribution (You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. You may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses you or your use; ShareAlike (If you remix, transform, or build upon the material, you must distribute your contributions under the same license as the original); and No additional restrictions (You may not apply legal terms or technological measures that legally restrict others from doing anything the license permits).

The Journal charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) only after a manuscript has been formally accepted for publication. Authors should understand that neither willingness nor ability to pay the APC guarantees acceptance of their submission.

The APC is tiered according to the corresponding author’s country of origin, following the World Bank’s income classifications. Submitted by authors from Low-Income Economies, each accepted article incurs an APC of Rp 3,000,000; from Lower-Middle-Income Economies, Rp 6,000,000; from Upper-Middle-Income Economies, Rp 9,000,000; and from High-Income Economies, Rp 12,000,000. A 25 percent waiver on the APC is available to corresponding authors who are Ph.D. or Master’s students submitting their dissertation or thesis (or portions thereof) with a supervisor’s endorsement; proof of student status must accompany the submission. Authors granted this waiver should note that it does not influence the editorial review or acceptance decision.

The journal’s editorial team maintains strict independence and integrity: the availability of, and willingness to pay, the APC has no bearing on peer review or final publication decisions. All manuscripts undergo the same rigorous evaluation, ensuring that editorial judgments are based solely on scholarly merit.
