Publication Fee Waivers for Non-Indonesian Authors

Partial Publication Fee Waiver Policy

Journal of Political Issues is committed to promoting global academic collaboration and ensuring equitable access to scholarly publishing opportunities. To support this goal, the journal offers a partial publication fee waiver of 30% for non-Indonesian authors who do not have institutional or research funding to cover Article Processing Charges (APC). Authors granted this waiver will receive a 30% reduction in the standard APC published on the journal's website and will be required to pay the remaining 70%.

Eligibility:

• The corresponding author is affiliated with an institution outside Indonesia.
• The author can demonstrate a lack of access to research or publication funding.
• The waiver request is submitted at the time of manuscript submission.

How to Apply:

Authors who wish to apply for a partial waiver must submit a brief justification letter along with their manuscript, explaining their funding limitations. Waiver requests will be reviewed by the editorial office and treated confidentially. This process does not affect editorial or peer-review decisions, which remain entirely independent of financial considerations.

Please note that partial waivers are limited and granted on a case-by-case basis, subject to eligibility verification and editorial office approval. The waiver provides a 30% reduction in the applicable APC and does not constitute a full exemption from publication fees.
