Journal Business Model

Journal Politica Humanitatis (JPH), published by Publisher Karya Grafindo Prima Perkasa, operates under a full open-access publishing model, ensuring unrestricted access to all published articles for readers worldwide.

To support editorial operations and publication sustainability, the journal applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted manuscripts. The APC is used to cover publication-related services, including peer-review management, journal production, DOI registration, online hosting, indexing support, and long-term digital archiving.

  1. Article Processing Charges (APC)

The APC for articles accepted for publication is as follows:

  • International Authors: USD 25
  • Indonesian Authors: Rp 500.000

These publication charges apply to manuscripts accepted from August 2024 onwards.

Authors are required to confirm their ability to pay the APC during the manuscript submission process.

The APC is charged only after the manuscript has successfully passed the peer-review and editorial evaluation process and has been formally accepted for publication.

Payment of the APC does not influence editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, or publication acceptance.
