SJN is an open-access journal. There is no submission fee. An Article Processing Charge (APC) is levied only after a manuscript has been accepted for publication following peer review, and editorial decisions are never influenced by an author’s ability to pay.
Standard Charges
| Author affiliation | Standard APC |
|---|---|
| Institutions in Indonesia | IDR 2,500,000 |
| Institutions outside Indonesia | USD 225 (subject to the regional adjustments below) |
Regional Adjustments for International Authors
To keep publication equitable across regions, the following automatic adjustments apply to the standard international APC:
| Author category | APC payable |
|---|---|
| Global South Support Countries (Tier A) — Least Developed and low-income countries | 50% discount on the standard APC |
| ASEAN member states | 25% discount on the standard APC |
| All other international authors (not Tier A, not ASEAN) | Standard USD 225 |
Fee Waivers
SJN is committed to ensuring that the ability to pay is never a barrier to publishing sound neurological research:
- The regional adjustments above are applied automatically, based on the affiliation of the corresponding author.
- In addition, authors facing genuine financial hardship may request a further discount or a full waiver by writing to the editorial office at sriwijayajournalneurology@gmail.com before the final decision.
- Waiver requests are considered case-by-case and in confidence, and have no bearing on the editorial outcome.
Payment & Conditional Acceptance
After peer review and acceptance, the journal issues a Conditional Acceptance Notification together with the APC invoice. The official Letter of Acceptance (LoA) is issued only after the APC has been paid and confirmed. Authors should complete payment within three (3) calendar days of the invoice date; if payment is not completed and no prior written arrangement has been approved, the manuscript may be considered withdrawn and further production halted.
What the APC Covers
Editorial handling and peer-review management, language and technical copy-editing, professional typesetting, Crossref DOI registration, indexing support, and permanent open-access hosting.
