Journal Business Model

The Sinergi International Journal of Logistics operates on an open access model, providing free access to all readers and authors. This approach enhances global reach and utilization, benefiting professional, academic, and broader communities.

  1. Introduction: The journal believes in the power of open access to increase global accessibility and utilization of research. To support this model while covering publication costs, an Article Processing Charge (APC) is implemented.
  2. Article Processing Charges (APC):
    • Applicable to articles accepted after August 2023
    • Covers costs of peer review management, journal production, online hosting, and long-term archiving
    • Rates: • USD 25 for international authors • Rp 350,000 for domestic authors
    • Authors must confirm ability to pay at submission
    • Billed post-acceptance, not affecting peer review process
    • Authors required to secure APC funds prior to submission
  3. Article Submission Charges (ASC):
    • The journal does not charge for article submissions
  4. APC Waiver Policy:
    • Authors from low-income countries are exempt from APC
    • Corresponding authors with h-index of 15 or higher on Scopus or WoS receive a waiver
    • Reviewers get a discount of Rp 50,000 per review

This model ensures the journal's sustainability while maintaining its commitment to open access and high-quality publications.
