JMST applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) to support the costs of journal publication and management. The APC contributes to editorial administration, manuscript processing, layout and typesetting, online publication, metadata management, and long-term accessibility of published articles.

The APC for each accepted article is: IDR 500,000 per article

This fee is charged only after the manuscript has been formally accepted for publication. JMST does not charge authors at the submission stage and does not require any fee for the peer review process.

Payment of the APC does not guarantee acceptance and does not influence editorial decisions. All manuscripts undergo the journal’s standard peer review and editorial evaluation process. Decisions are made independently based on the manuscript’s academic quality, originality, methodological rigor, relevance to the journal’s aims and scope, and compliance with ethical publication standards.

Authors will be informed of payment procedures after their manuscript has been accepted. Manuscripts will proceed to the production and publication stage after completion of the required publication process.
