PSSJ Author Fee Announcement (Effective 1 January 2026)

2025-12-31

To support manuscript quality improvement—particularly professional proofreading—and to strengthen our journal development as PSSJ is currently under evaluation for Scopus indexing and Web of Science (ESCI), we will implement the following publication fee policy starting 1 January 2026.

1) Regular Review (Standard Track)

  • Fee: IDR 350,000

  • Process time: 1–3 months

  • Payment timing: Charged only after the paper is accepted

  • Notes: All manuscripts will follow the standard peer-review process.

2) Fast Track (Accelerated Track)

  • Fee: IDR 500,000

  • Process time: Up to 1 month (from submission to publication)

  • Payment timing: Paid at the beginning after submission

  • Payment method: via QRIS (Privietlab)

  • Refund policy: If the manuscript is rejected, the author will receive a full refund.

Peer-Review and Publication Ethics

Both Regular Review and Fast Track manuscripts must follow the full peer-review process in accordance with COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) standards. Fast Track does not waive or reduce the rigor of review, it only prioritizes handling time.

Fast Track Confirmation Requirement

For Fast Track submissions, authors must send:

  1. Fast Track submission ID, and

  2. Proof of payment
