Article Processing Charge

1. Article Processing Charges

The following fees apply to manuscripts submitted to Journal Interdisciplinary Health:

2. Submission Fee

Journal Interdisciplinary Health does not charge authors for submitting manuscripts. Initial editorial screening, manuscript assessment, and peer-review consideration do not require an article submission fee. Authors are not required to make any payment when creating an account or submitting a manuscript through the journal's Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform.

3. Article Publication Fee

For manuscripts accepted for publication, Journal Interdisciplinary Health charges an article processing fee of IDR 500,000 per accepted article for Indonesian authors.

The publication fee contributes to the journal's editorial administration, manuscript preparation, electronic publication, website maintenance, and scholarly dissemination activities. The fee is charged only after the manuscript has successfully completed the editorial and peer-review processes and received a formal acceptance decision.

4. Payment Procedures

Following formal manuscript acceptance, the corresponding author will receive an official notification from the journal's editorial office containing the applicable publication fee and payment instructions. Authors should make payments only through the official payment arrangements communicated by the journal. No publication payment is required before a formal acceptance decision has been issued.

5. Waiver and Fee Reduction Policy

Journal Interdisciplinary Health considers individual requests for article processing charge waivers or reductions. Authors experiencing financial constraints may submit a written request to the editorial office during the manuscript submission process. Waiver applications should briefly explain the circumstances supporting the request. The journal will normally communicate its decision within two business days after receiving a complete request. Approval of a waiver or fee reduction is subject to editorial administration and the journal's applicable financial policies. Waiver requests do not guarantee approval.

Waiver applications may be submitted to: admin_jih@edi.or.id .

6. Editorial Independence

Editorial decisions are based exclusively on the manuscript's scientific merit, originality, methodological quality, ethical compliance, and relevance to the journal's aims and scope. The ability or inability of an author to pay publication fees does not influence manuscript evaluation, peer-review recommendations, or editorial acceptance decisions. Payment of an article processing charge does not guarantee acceptance or publication.
