Revenue Source

JE3S operates an open access publishing model to maximize the accessibility and dissemination of published research. To support the sustainability of open access publishing and the journal’s operational costs, JE3S applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) that is payable only after a manuscript is accepted.

The primary revenue source for JE3S is the APC (IDR 2,500,000 per accepted article). JE3S does not charge submission fees or review fees. Editorial decisions are made independently of any financial considerations, and payment status does not influence peer-review outcomes or acceptance decisions.

APC revenue is used to support journal operations, including but not limited to:

• Editorial management and peer-review administration;
• Copyediting, layout/production, and publication workflow management;
• Journal platform hosting, maintenance, and technical support;
• Digital preservation, archiving, and long-term access to published content;
• Metadata management and indexing-related technical processes.

Information regarding JE3S publication fees and revenue sources is provided transparently on the journal website.
