Authors Fees

The Journal of Cultural Guidance and Counseling (JCGC) implements a transparent fee structure for authors submitting their manuscripts. There is no charge for article submission, meaning authors can submit their papers free of cost (IDR 0.00). This policy encourages a wide range of contributions without financial barriers at the initial stage. However, if the manuscript is accepted for publication, authors will be required to pay an Article Publication Fee to cover the costs associated with producing and disseminating the article. For authors based in Indonesia, this fee is IDR (IDR 0.00) , while international authors are charged USD 0.

This fee supports the journal’s ability to maintain high-quality production standards and ensures open access availability for readers worldwide. Additionally, JCGC offers a Fast Track review option for authors seeking expedited peer review and publication. Interested authors can contact the editorial office directly  by email at jcgc@unesa.ac.id to request this service. This fee policy reflects JCGC’s commitment to balancing accessibility for authors and maintaining rigorous publication standards to serve the academic community effectively.
