Submission Fees

To support the long-term sustainability of the Journal of the ASEAN Federation of Endocrine Societies (JAFES), a standard, fixed fee for all manuscripts following the below fee schedule shall be required.

By adopting a fixed Submission Fee, JAFES aims to ensure fairness, transparency and financial stability. Every submission contributes to the journal’s operations, enabling us to uphold our commitment to rigorous peer review, ethical standards and open access dissemination of Southeast Asian endocrine research. This shift helps secure JAFES’ future as a trusted, regionally grounded and globally accessible scientific journal.

The Submission Fee shall be paid once a manuscript is decided by the Editor-in-Chief to proceed to peer review. The fee covers the full cycle of editorial and production work: from initial screening, similarity checks, administrative processing, peer review management, technical editing, copyediting, layout and design, proofreading, publication and online hosting, up to long-term archiving.

These processes require sustained investment in skilled editorial staff, digital infrastructure and high-quality publishing systems, regardless of the final editorial decision.
