Publication Charge

SAHAKARA: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat applies a publication fee to support the sustainability of its editorial and publishing processes.

The applicable fees are as follows:

• The article submission fee is Rp 0 or USD 0, meaning authors are not required to pay any fee during the submission process.

• The article processing charge (APC) is Rp 200,000 or approximately USD 15, which is charged only after the manuscript is accepted for publication.

The maximum plagiarism threshold is 25%, as determined by a Turnitin similarity check. Manuscripts with 30%–50% similarity may still be considered under certain conditions, provided that authors perform necessary revisions based on the editorial board’s feedback.

Authors are not required to pay any fee during submission. The publication charge is payable only after acceptance and is used to support editorial activities, peer review management, layout editing, OJS maintenance, and long-term digital preservation.

The peer review process takes a maximum of 45 days from submission. Upon payment of the publication fee, authors are guaranteed to receive review results, editorial decisions, and notifications within less than four weeks. Accepted manuscripts will be published within 45 days from the date of submission.
