No Question Answer
1 Is there any fee at the time of manuscript submission? No. All authors may submit manuscripts to Senarai free of charge. There are no submission fees, registration fees, or review fees at the initial stage.
2 Why does Senarai apply APC only after acceptance? This policy ensures transparency and editorial independence. APC is applied only after a manuscript has passed peer review and is formally accepted, ensuring that payment does not influence editorial decisions.
3 When will I receive the APC invoice? The APC invoice is sent together with the official acceptance notification via email to the corresponding author.
4 What information is included in the APC invoice? The invoice includes the APC amount, applicable additional fees (if any), payment method, currency, billing code, and payment deadline.
5 What is the deadline for APC payment? APC payment must be completed within a maximum of five (5) working days from the invoice date. Delayed payment may result in postponed publication.

9 How is APC calculated for collaborative authors? Manuscripts authored by both local and international institutions are classified as international submissions and charged according to the international APC rate in USD.
10 How does sponsorship-based payment work? Sponsorship payments are calculated using the highest USD–IDR exchange rate issued by Bank Indonesia on the invoice date. Any remaining balance must be settled before publication.

12 What happens if APC payment is late? Late payment may delay publication scheduling or cause the manuscript to be deferred to a later issue.

Authors are advised to carefully follow the confirmation steps outlined in the selected payment method to ensure timely verification.
