Article Processing Charge

The Article Processing Charges (APC) or Manuscript Handling Fee (MHF) is always associated with the Open Access Model of publishing. The minimum Fee which is required for the article consists of various components such as manuscript handling including processing of article, quality check, double blind peer review, pdf conversion, xml conversion, html conversion, editing at the international level, increased number of pages, colour effects, video effects (in video-articles), professional graphical editing, unlimited author’s corrections, etc. 

The Open Access format of publication allows all the readers (researchers, scholars, scientists etc.) a wide and open source of scientific literature and for the same reason, this format allows free access to all the published work available on World Wide Web. Unlike subscription-based model of publishing, the Open Access model provide wide visibility and creditability with the citations for each view of the published article which indicates the quality of the article published.

The APC/MHF can be covered by the Author/Sponsor/University Grant/any financial aid from author’s side. This APC/MHF is always associated with each article to be published in Manuscript Scientific International Journals. For the Inaugural Issue there is a minimum fee for ACP in all International Journals. After the Inaugural Issue, the Article Processing Changes or Manuscript Handling Fee for all International Journals will be IDR 250.000,-. This fee helps to cover part of the publishing costs. Submitted, but not accepted articles are not charged.
