Article Processing Charges (APC)

Ceddi Journal of Management and Business Adaptation (CJMBA) is an immediate open-access journal. All published articles are freely and permanently available to readers immediately upon publication without subscription or embargo.

To support editorial management, peer-review administration, manuscript production, DOI registration, online hosting, digital publishing, and long-term digital preservation, CJMBA applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 40 for each article accepted for publication. The APC is charged only after the manuscript has successfully completed the editorial and peer-review process and received final acceptance for publication.

CJMBA does not charge any manuscript submission fee or other mandatory author fees. Authors are not required to make any payment when submitting a manuscript or while the manuscript is undergoing editorial assessment and peer review. The journal also does not offer paid fast-track, priority review, or guaranteed publication services.

Payment of the APC has no influence on editorial or peer-review decisions. Decisions regarding manuscripts are based solely on academic quality, originality, methodological rigor, relevance to the journal's focus and scope, research integrity, and scholarly contribution. Payment of the APC does not guarantee acceptance or publication.

APC Waiver

A full APC waiver may be requested when the corresponding author is affiliated with an institution in a low-income country. Eligibility is determined with reference to the World Bank Country and Lending Groups .

Waiver requests should be submitted to the editorial office at admin@ceddi.id after manuscript submission and before APC payment. Waiver requests are considered independently of the editorial and peer-review process and do not influence editorial decisions. A waiver request will not affect the evaluation, acceptance, or rejection of a manuscript.

APC Transparency

The applicable APC and waiver arrangements are communicated transparently to authors. CJMBA will not impose publication charges that have not been disclosed in this policy.

The corresponding author is responsible for arranging payment only after receiving final acceptance and the journal's official payment notification.
