Article Processing Charges (APC)

Inovasi Lokal: Pemberdayaan Masyarakat dalam Pembangunan Berkelanjutan is a fully Gold Open Access journal. To support the rigorous editorial process, digital archiving, and global dissemination while maintaining accessibility, we apply a nominal Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted manuscripts based on the corresponding author's country of institutional affiliation.

Domestic Authors

Authors affiliated with Indonesian institutions

IDR 400,000 / article
  • Rigorous double-blind peer review
  • Crossref DOI & metadata registration

International Authors

Exempt (Free of Charge)
  • Global knowledge dissemination support
  • Priority indexing in international databases

No Submission Fees: Health Frontiers does not charge any manuscript submission, processing, or hidden fees. The APC is only invoiced after the manuscript has passed the peer-review process and received an official "Accepted for Publication" decision letter.

Waiver Policy: We believe that financial constraints should not hinder the publication of high-quality science. Authors experiencing financial hardship, particularly from low-income countries, may request a partial or full waiver during the initial submission cover letter. Waiver requests are evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief and do not influence the peer-review outcome.

Payment Method: Payment instructions (Bank Transfer details) will be provided securely by the editorial office via email upon manuscript acceptance.
