Author Fees
NUANSA INFORMATIKA is committed to transparent publication fees. Manuscript submission and initial editorial screening are free of charge. Two separate fees may become payable at later stages: a Peer Review / Article Processing Charge (APC) only after a manuscript passes the initial Editor Blind Review and is approved for external peer review, and a publication fee only after formal acceptance. Editorial decisions are based on scholarly merit, not payments.
A. Fee Structure
- Submission Fee: IDR 0 (free). Both submission through OJS and initial editorial screening (Editor Blind Review) are free of charge.
- Peer Review / Article Processing Charge (APC): IDR 100,000 (one hundred thousand Indonesian rupiah). Charged ONLY when the manuscript passes the initial Editor Blind Review and is approved to proceed to external peer review by independent reviewers. Manuscripts rejected at the initial editorial screening stage are not charged this fee.
- Publication Fee Charge (PFC) / Article Publication Fee (APF): IDR 350,000 (three hundred and fifty thousand Indonesian rupiah). Charged ONLY after the manuscript has been formally accepted for publication. This fee is not charged for manuscripts that are rejected after external peer review.
- Total standard charges for an accepted article: IDR 450,000 (four hundred and fifty thousand Indonesian rupiah), comprising the IDR 100,000 Peer Review/APC and IDR 350,000 Publication Fee (PFC/APF), excluding applicable additional-page charges.
B. Manuscript Length and Additional Page Charges
The standard fee structure applies to manuscripts up to 10 pages long, including figures, tables, and references, prepared using the official journal template. In accordance with the currently published fee policy, each additional page exceeding 10 pages incurs IDR 50,000 (fifty thousand Indonesian rupiah).
C. Payment Stages and Instructions
Stage 1 — Manuscript Submission and Editor Blind Review: Authors submit their manuscripts through OJS for free. The initial editorial screening is also free. Manuscripts rejected at this stage incur no Peer Review/APC or publication fee.
Stage 2 — Passed Editor Blind Review and Proceeding to External Review: ONLY manuscripts that pass initial editorial screening and are approved to proceed to external peer review are charged IDR 100,000 (Peer Review/APC). The Editorial Office sends payment instructions to the corresponding author when this stage has been reached. Payment does not guarantee acceptance.
Stage 3 — After Formal Editorial Acceptance: The Publication Fee (PFC/APF) of IDR 350,000 is charged ONLY after the manuscript has been formally accepted for publication. Manuscripts rejected after external peer review do not incur this publication fee.
Authors should use only payment instructions communicated officially by NUANSA INFORMATIKA. Questions about invoices, payment confirmation, and the applicable manuscript stage should be sent to the editorial email listed below.
D. Editorial Independence and Peer Review
Payment of either fee does not influence reviewer recommendations, override editorial decisions, guarantee acceptance, or provide fast-track treatment. Manuscripts proceeding to external peer review are evaluated using the journal’s double-blind process by at least two independent reviewers. The editor makes publication decisions according to scholarly quality and the outcome of peer review.
