Open Access Policy

KPCJ is a fully open access journal. All published content is freely and permanently available online to anyone, anywhere — with no subscription fees, no paywalls, and no barriers to access.

BOAI Compliant CC BY 4.0 Waiver Available DOAJ Listed SHERPA/RoMEO

KPCJ provides immediate open access to all its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. All articles are freely available without charge to users or institutions. This policy is aligned with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI, 2002 & 2022 Recommendations), which defines open access as the free availability of scholarly literature on the public internet, permitting any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of articles.

Article Processing Charge (APC)

 

Submission is free for all authors. Publication fees depend on eligibility.

There are no submission fees at any stage. International authors and eligible Indonesian authors (those with no institutional funding or grant, supported by an official letter from a Head of Department, Dean, or Rector, and a high H-Index) publish at no cost. Indonesian authors who do not qualify for a waiver are charged an APC of Rp250,000 upon acceptance — payable only if the manuscript is accepted. The journal is primarily supported by ROM Physiotherapy Denpasar to keep costs minimal and ensure open access to quality research.

Self-Archiving & Preprint Policy

1

Pre-Submission (Preprint)

Authors are permitted to post the original submitted version of their manuscript (preprint) to preprint servers such as bioRxiv, medRxiv, OSF Preprints, or their personal/institutional website before submission to KPCJ. Authors should disclose preprint posting at the time of submission.

2

Under Review

During the peer review process, authors may maintain a preprint on a public server. However, the manuscript should not be updated with peer reviewer comments or editorial revisions while under review.

3

After Acceptance (Author's Accepted Manuscript)

Authors may archive the accepted manuscript (post-peer review, pre-copyedit version) immediately upon acceptance in institutional repositories, subject repositories (PubMed Central, Europe PMC), or personal websites. The final published PDF (Version of Record) may also be self-archived immediately, as KPCJ is a fully open access journal with no embargo period.

4

Embargo Period

No embargo period applies. Published articles are immediately and permanently available to anyone, free of charge. KPCJ does not impose any waiting period before open access is granted, consistent with the BOAI definition of open access and DOAJ criteria.

KPCJ's self-archiving policy is registered and verifiable on SHERPA/RoMEO.
