ISTIBSHAR: Journal of Islamic Education and Learning applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of IDR 150,000 for each article that has been accepted for publication. This fee supports the editorial management, editing, production, and publication processes of the article.

ISTIBSHAR recognizes that some authors may experience financial limitations that could affect their ability to cover the Article Processing Charge (APC). Therefore, the journal provides an APC waiver and discount policy for eligible authors based on specific considerations, including financial constraints, lack of research funding, or other justified circumstances.

Authors who wish to request an APC waiver or discount may submit a formal request to the editorial office after the manuscript has been accepted for publication. Each request will be evaluated independently by the editorial team based on the justification provided. Decisions regarding APC waivers or discounts are made separately from the editorial evaluation process and do not influence the peer review process, acceptance decision, or scientific assessment of the manuscript.

Through this policy, ISTIBSHAR: Journal of Islamic Education and Learning is committed to promoting inclusive and equitable access to scholarly publishing while maintaining high standards of academic quality, transparency, and publication ethics in accordance with international publishing practices.
