Senarai: Journal of Islamic Heritage and Civilization levies an Article Processing Charge (APC) on accepted articles. This charge is implemented to ensure immediate and unrestricted access to the journal's content for a global readership, thereby supporting the principles of open access publishing. The APC also contributes to covering the essential costs associated with the rigorous peer review process, professional journal production, secure online hosting, and long-term digital archiving of published works.

The APC for articles accepted for publication in the current calendar year is structured as follows:

• Domestic Authors (Indonesia): IDR 1,500,000 (One Million Five Hundred Thousand Indonesian Rupiah)
• International Authors: USD 150 (One Hundred and Fifty United States Dollars)

The responsibility for the timely payment of the APC rests with the submitting author. By submitting an article, the corresponding author confirms their commitment to arranging the necessary payment should the manuscript be accepted for publication. This financial obligation cannot be transferred to a third party unless a formal agreement has been established with the publisher prior to acceptance. Authors are strongly advised to assess their potential to secure funding for the APC before submitting their manuscript, rather than awaiting the outcome of the peer review process.
