All articles published in Edumatika : Jurnal Riset Pendidikan Matematika are made freely available online under an open-access model. To support the publication process, an Article Processing Charge (APC) of IDR 500,000 is charged for each accepted manuscript, unless the manuscript qualifies for a fee exemption or an approved waiver.

The APC is payable only after the manuscript has been formally accepted for publication. Manuscripts that are rejected are not charged.

3. APC Exemption for International First Authors

Edumatika : Jurnal Riset Pendidikan Matematika provides a full exemption from the Article Processing Charge (APC) for manuscripts whose first author is affiliated with an institution outside Indonesia.

This exemption applies regardless of whether the manuscript is written by a single-country author team or involves collaboration between authors affiliated with institutions in different countries.

Eligibility is determined based on the first author's institutional affiliation declared in the manuscript submission metadata at the time of submission.

Eligible manuscripts are exempt from the APC. Article submission and peer review are free of charge for all authors, regardless of their country of affiliation.

The APC exemption does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or influence the outcome of peer review. All manuscripts are evaluated according to the journal's editorial policies, scope, and scholarly quality requirements.

4. Waivers and Partial Waivers

Edumatika : Jurnal Riset Pendidikan Matematika recognizes that some authors may face financial constraints that limit their ability to pay the APC.

Waiver requests must be submitted in the comments to the editor during the initial manuscript submission and should briefly explain the reasons for the request.

Waiver requests are evaluated by the journal management on a case-by-case basis. The availability of a waiver depends on the circumstances of the request and the journal's financial capacity.

The waiver decision is independent of the editorial assessment. Editors and reviewers responsible for evaluating the manuscript should not use the author's ability to pay as a factor in determining the manuscript's suitability for publication.

5. Payment Procedure

Authors whose manuscripts have been accepted will receive payment instructions from the journal.

The APC should be paid only after formal acceptance and in accordance with the payment instructions provided by the journal. Authors should include the manuscript identification number when submitting proof of payment, where applicable.

If an author withdraws an accepted manuscript after publication-related production work has begun, any refund request will be considered by the journal management based on the stage of production and the costs already incurred.

7. Transparency and Editorial Independence

The payment of an APC, a fee exemption, or an approved waiver does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or affect the outcome of peer review.

All manuscripts are evaluated according to the journal's editorial policies, scope, scholarly quality, and peer-review standards.
