Islamic Moral Architecture in Primary Education (IMAPE) currently operates under a free open-access publishing model . Authors are not required to make any payment for manuscript submission, editorial processing, peer-review administration, revision, or publication of an accepted article.

The journal's fee policy is intended to support equitable scholarly participation while maintaining rigorous standards of originality, methodological quality, publication ethics, and relevance to the journal's focus and scope.

Authors are not required to pay a fee when submitting a manuscript to IMAPE. Initial editorial screening, manuscript processing, similarity screening, peer-review administration, and revision management are conducted without author charges.

Manuscripts accepted for publication are published without an Article Processing Charge (APC). Authors are not charged for standard copyediting, layout, online publication, or open-access dissemination.

IMAPE does not impose publication fees based on the number of authors, institutional affiliation, country of origin, academic rank, citation profile, or standard manuscript length.

Authors will not be charged a separate DOI fee for standard article publication. DOI identifiers will be assigned when the journal's DOI registration service has been formally activated and the relevant article metadata has been registered.

IMAPE welcomes legitimate single-author and collaborative empirical research. The number of authors does not influence publication fees or editorial decisions. Every listed author must satisfy appropriate authorship criteria, make a meaningful scholarly contribution, and accept responsibility for the work.

The absence of author fees does not imply automatic acceptance, preferential treatment, or reduced academic standards. Manuscripts are considered for publication only when they demonstrate appropriate originality, methodological rigor, ethical integrity, empirical quality, scholarly contribution, and clear alignment with IMAPE's focus and scope.

If IMAPE introduces or modifies an author fee in the future, the change will be announced transparently through the official journal website before its effective date. Any new fee policy should clearly state the amount, effective date, applicable manuscripts, and payment conditions.

Under the current free-publication policy, authors should not make payments to personal bank accounts, unofficial contacts, agents, or unauthorized third parties claiming to represent IMAPE. Any future legitimate payment policy must first be published through the official journal website and communicated through an authorized editorial channel.

IMAPE is published by CV. Erukasyah Lagaliora Publishing . Financial and administrative arrangements remain separate from scholarly evaluation and must not influence reviewer recommendations or final editorial decisions.

IMAPE maintains a zero-author-fee publication policy while preserving independent editorial assessment and rigorous scholarly standards. Manuscripts are evaluated solely on relevance, originality, empirical quality, methodological soundness, ethical compliance, and scholarly contribution.
