Journal of Urban Science Education (JUSE) adopts an initial flat Article Processing Charge (APC) of IDR 300,000 per accepted article. This APC covers the costs of peer-review coordination, editorial management, copy-editing and proofreading, layout and typesetting, online publication, DOI registration, hosting, and digital archiving. Setting this fee is intended to balance operational sustainability with affordability for authors, particularly during the journal’s early phase.
