In this policy
01 Complete fee disclosure
LaKaspia: Jurnal Pengabdian Masyarakat discloses all author-facing charges in the confirmed statement below. It must state either that no fees apply or identify every fee, amount, currency, tax condition, payment stage and service covered.
02 Before submission
Charges and possible waivers must be easy to find before submission. Fees must not be introduced after acceptance unless a previously disclosed optional service is requested by the author. Authors should retain the terms shown when they submitted.
03 Editorial independence
Payment ability, waiver requests, sponsorship and institutional affiliation must not determine editorial acceptance. Editors and reviewers should not be told unnecessary payment information while evaluating scholarly merit.
04 Waivers and exemptions
Where waivers or discounts exist, the eligibility criteria, application point, decision authority and effect on taxes or other charges should be stated. A waiver decision should be separated from the scholarly decision wherever practicable.
05 Payment and refunds
The confirmed terms should identify the authorized payee and official payment channel, invoice or receipt arrangements, refund conditions and contact for billing disputes. Authors should not pay an account communicated only through an unverified message.
06 Changes to charges
Changes apply prospectively and should be dated. The journal should honour the applicable disclosed terms or obtain informed agreement before imposing a changed charge on an active submission.
07 Journal-specific arrangements
Journal-specific arrangements have not yet been supplied. Contact the editorial office for verified information.
