Article Processing Charge

Ruang Berdampak: Jurnal Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat (R-BEDA) does not charge authors an Article Processing Charge (APC). Authors are not required to pay any fees for manuscript submission, initial editorial screening, similarity checking, peer review, revision, copyediting, proofreading, layout preparation, online publication, or article archiving. Readers may also access and download all published articles without subscription or access charges.

R-BEDA does not offer paid or expedited peer review. Editorial decisions are made independently and are not influenced by financial considerations. Every manuscript is evaluated according to its scholarly quality, ethical compliance, relevance to the journal’s scope, community participation, demonstrated impact, and prospects for sustainability.

This no-APC policy reflects the journal’s commitment to equitable scholarly publishing and the broad dissemination of impactful community engagement practices. If the journal changes its fee policy in the future, the revised policy will be announced transparently on the journal website before it takes effect. Authors will not be charged any fee that was not clearly disclosed when their manuscript was submitted.
