Why there is no waiver policy
Waiver policies exist to protect authors who cannot pay. Because JALF levies no charge on any author, no waiver is required and none is offered. No author is ever asked about ability to pay, and ability to pay plays no part in any editorial decision.
Who pays for publication
Publication costs are borne entirely by the publisher, Research Center Progresif, Semarang City, Central Java, Indonesia. The journal receives no author-side revenue, and editorial decisions are made solely on the scholarly merit of the submission as assessed through double-anonymous peer review.
Solicitation and payment requests
JALF will never ask an author for payment, and will never request payment through a personal account, a messaging application, or any channel other than the journal's official address. If you receive a payment request that claims to come from this journal, it did not come from us. Please report it to the editorial contact listed on the About page.
Changes to this policy
Should the journal ever introduce a charge, it will be announced on this page at least six months before it takes effect, and it will never be applied to a manuscript that was already under consideration when the announcement was made.
