Waiver Policy

EDUCATION: Jurnal Sosial Humaniora dan Pendidikan is committed to promoting equitable access to scholarly publishing. The journal recognizes that financial limitations should not prevent researchers from disseminating high-quality academic work.

Waiver Eligibility

Authors experiencing financial hardship, lacking institutional research funding, or affiliated with institutions that have special cooperation agreements with the journal may apply for a full or partial waiver of the Article Processing Charge (APC).

Waiver Application Procedure

Waiver requests must be submitted in writing to the editorial office during or after the peer-review process. Applicants should provide the manuscript title, submission ID (if available), corresponding author's details, and a brief explanation of the circumstances supporting the request.

The editorial team may request additional information when necessary to assess eligibility.

Waiver Assessment and Approval

All waiver applications are evaluated individually based on financial circumstances, available journal resources, and applicable institutional agreements. Approval is subject to editorial discretion and is not guaranteed.

Waiver requests and decisions are handled confidentially.

Editorial Independence

APC waiver applications do not influence manuscript evaluation, peer-review outcomes, or editorial decisions. All submissions undergo the same editorial screening and peer-review procedures regardless of the authors' financial circumstances or waiver status.

The journal does not charge submission fees. Publication charges apply only after a manuscript has been formally accepted for publication.
