Author Processing Charge (APC)

 

SUMAGRIS: Sumatran Journal of Agriculture Science is committed to maintaining high standards of academic publishing while ensuring accessibility for researchers and practitioners. To support editorial processes, peer review management, and publication services, the journal implements an Article Processing Charge (APC) policy as follows:

Publication Fee

For the inaugural publication period, SUMAGRIS does not charge any submission or publication fees. All accepted articles in Volume 1 Issue 1 (June 2026) will be published free of charge.

This policy is intended to encourage high-quality submissions and support the dissemination of agricultural research during the initial stage of journal development.

Future APC Policy

SUMAGRIS may introduce a reasonable Article Processing Charge (APC) in future issues to support journal sustainability, editorial workflow, and publication quality. Any changes to the APC policy will be clearly communicated on the journal website prior to implementation.

What the APC Covers

  • Editorial and peer review process management
  • Manuscript editing and formatting
  • Online publication and hosting
  • Digital archiving and indexing support

Waiver Policy

SUMAGRIS is committed to supporting researchers from diverse backgrounds. In future implementations of APC, waiver or discount options may be available for authors from developing regions or under special considerations.


SUMAGRIS supports equitable access to scientific publishing and sustainable knowledge dissemination.
