Article Processing Charges

APC Policy

Starting from submissions received on 1 July 2026, JACoIT will implement an Article Processing Charge (APC) policy for manuscripts intended for publication beginning with Vol. 1, No. 3 (December 2026) and subsequent issues.

 

The APC is introduced to support journal management, editorial processing, digital publishing, website maintenance, DOI registration, indexing preparation, and long-term archiving services.

 

APC Amount

Authors may complete payment using one of the following equivalent currency options:

Authors may choose the payment currency that is most convenient based on their location and payment accessibility.

 

Screening and Payment Process

All submitted manuscripts will first undergo an initial editorial screening process conducted by the editorial team.

 

The APC payment request will only be sent to authors whose manuscripts:

  • comply with the journal scope and formatting requirements,
  • pass the initial plagiarism and editorial screening,
  • and are considered suitable to proceed to the peer-review process.

Authors are not required to make any payment at the time of initial submission.

Payment confirmation is required before the manuscript officially enters the peer-review stage.

 

What the APC Covers

The APC covers:

  • Editorial and administrative processing
  • Double-blind peer-review management
  • DOI registration
  • Website and system maintenance
  • Digital archiving and preservation
  • Metadata management and indexing preparation
  • Final publication and online hosting

 

Payment Methods

Detailed payment instructions and available payment channels will be provided by the editorial office after the manuscript passes the initial screening process.

 

Waiver Policy

In certain cases, APC waivers or reductions may be considered for authors with significant financial limitations, based on editorial evaluation and journal policy.

 

Requests for APC waivers should be submitted to the editorial office before the payment process.

 

Open Access Policy

JACoIT provides immediate open access to all published articles to support the global dissemination of scientific knowledge without subscription barriers.

 

*Note: APC fees may change at any time based on journal policies and other relevant considerations.
