Article Processing Charge
Life Sciences, Technology and Sustainability Education (LSTSE) does not charge any Article Processing Charge (APC) for manuscript submission, peer review, processing, or publication. Authors are not required to pay any publication fee after acceptance. The journal provides full open access to all published articles without imposing financial charges on authors or readers.
The journal adopts a no-APC publishing model to support equitable access to scholarly communication and encourage researchers from diverse institutional and geographical backgrounds to contribute their scientific work. The absence of publication fees does not affect the quality control process, editorial independence, peer review standards, or publication decisions.
Journal operational activities, including:
- Editorial management
- Peer review administration
- Manuscript processing
- Digital publication and website maintenance
- DOI registration and metadata management
- Long-term digital preservation and archiving
are supported through publisher resources and institutional support provided by CV Bumi Spasial.
All manuscripts undergo the same rigorous editorial evaluation and peer review process regardless of authors’ institutional affiliation, geographic location, or financial background. Acceptance decisions are based solely on academic quality, originality, methodological rigor, relevance to the journal scope, and compliance with publication ethics.
The journal maintains transparency regarding its publication model and does not request any payment from authors at any stage of the submission and publication process.
