Author Fees

KUBIK: Jurnal Publikasi Ilmiah Matematika applies a transparent publication fee policy to support editorial management, peer review, article production, and the sustainability of its open-access publishing services.

1. Article Submission Fee

Article Submission Fee: USD 0.00 (Free)

Authors are not required to pay any fees when submitting manuscripts to KUBIK.

All submitted manuscripts undergo an initial editorial screening to assess their suitability for the journal's focus and scope, compliance with submission requirements, and adherence to publication ethics.

2. Article Publication Fee

Article Publication Fee: USD 70.00

KUBIK applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 70.00 to support the editorial and publication process.

Special discounts are available for local authors, including authors based in Indonesia or affiliated with Indonesian academic or research institutions.

The applicable publication fee will be communicated to authors through an official invoice.

3. Invoice and Payment Procedures

An official invoice will be issued to the corresponding author once the manuscript has passed the initial editorial screening and has been approved to proceed to the peer review stage.

Authors are required to complete the payment according to the instructions provided in the invoice.

Payment is made through direct bank transfer to the official bank account designated by the journal.

After completing the payment, authors must submit proof of payment through the Payment Confirmation Form.

Authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication will also be required to submit a completed Statement of Originality.

Payment of the publication fee does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or publication.

4. Fast Track Review

KUBIK offers an optional Fast Track Review service for authors who require an expedited peer review process.

Fast Track Review Fee: USD 30.00 (Additional Fee)

The Fast Track Review fee is charged in addition to the regular Article Processing Charge (APC) and does not replace the standard publication fee.

Under this service:

  • The initial editorial decision will be communicated to the corresponding author within a maximum of 7 working days following payment confirmation.

  • The expedited review process begins after the applicable payment has been received and verified.

  • Fast Track manuscripts receive priority processing while maintaining the same double-blind peer review procedures and scientific evaluation standards as regular submissions.

  • The service does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or publication.

  • Further revisions or additional review rounds may be required before a final publication decision is made.

Authors interested in this service should contact the journal's Supporting Contact, whose details are available on the official Contact page.

5. Refund Policy

KUBIK applies the following refund conditions:

  1. Editorial Rejection (Decline Submission): If a manuscript receives an official Decline Submission decision from the editorial team, including following the peer review process, all fees paid by the authors will be fully refunded (100%).

  2. Author-Initiated Withdrawal: If authors voluntarily withdraw their manuscripts after submission, any fees already paid are non-refundable, regardless of the stage of the editorial or publication process.

These refund conditions also apply to Fast Track Review fees.

6. Editorial Independence

The payment of publication fees or Fast Track Review fees does not influence manuscript evaluation, reviewer recommendations, or editorial decisions.

All manuscripts are evaluated based on scientific merit, originality, methodological rigor, relevance, and compliance with the journal's publication standards.

Payment does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or publication.

KUBIK is committed to maintaining transparency, fairness, and editorial independence throughout the publication process.
