Article Processing Charge

Real Kiddos: Jurnal Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini is a fully open-access, peer-reviewed journal. All published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide without subscription or access fees.

To support the costs associated with manuscript processing, double-blind peer review management, copyediting, proofreading, DOI registration, digital archiving, website maintenance, and online publication, the journal applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted manuscripts.

Article Processing Charge (APC): IDR 500,000

The APC is charged only after a manuscript has been accepted for publication following the peer-review process. There is no submission fee, and authors are not required to make any payment at the time of manuscript submission.

Authors whose institutions are unable to cover the APC due to financial constraints may submit a request for a partial or full fee waiver by contacting the editorial office prior to submission. All waiver requests will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and will have no influence on the editorial review process or publication decision.

Detailed payment instructions will be provided to the corresponding author after the manuscript has been formally accepted. Payment must be completed before the article is scheduled for publication in an upcoming issue.

For further information regarding the Article Processing Charge (APC), please contact the editorial office through the journal website.
