Author Fees

Lex Publica is committed to providing open access to all of its articles, ensuring that the scientific community and the general public have free, unlimited, and immediate access to the content upon publication. As an open-access journal, Lex Publica does not generate revenue from subscriptions to print or online access, nor does it charge “pay-per-view” fees.

Instead, the journal applies article processing charges (APCs) to cover the costs associated with publishing, which include services such as language editing, advanced composition, artwork editing, the development of innovative websites, and other essential support services. The APC also covers the permanent maintenance of the journal’s website and the continued accessibility of the articles. Additionally, a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) will be assigned to each article, ensuring its persistent and permanent presence in digital archives.

These charges are applied to the authors or their institutions.

For international authors, the APC is USD 250 .

For Indonesian authors, the APC is IDR 3,500,000.

Please note the following additional points:

1. Transfer fees: Any transfer or bank fees associated with the payment will be the responsibility of the authors. The full APC amount must be received without any deductions for transfer or bank fees.

2. Tax Policy:
- For Indonesian authors, the applicable tax value will be added to the APC in accordance with Indonesian tax regulations.
- For international authors, the APC is exclusive of any local taxes. Authors are responsible for any tax liabilities applicable in their respective countries.

3. Hard Copy Request:
A hard copy of the journal issue is available upon request for authors. The cost for one exemplar of the full content in a given issue is IDR 200,000 for Indonesian authors and USD 20 for international authors. This cost includes shipping.

Invoices will be provided to the corresponding author only after the article has been accepted for publication. Please note that no fees will be incurred prior to the acceptance of the manuscript.
