Islamic Moral Architecture in Primary Education (IMAPE) operates as an open-access scholarly journal and does not charge authors an Article Processing Charge (APC) for manuscripts accepted for publication.
The absence of an APC reflects IMAPE's commitment to supporting the dissemination of high-quality scholarly research without making an author's ability to pay a condition for publication. Editorial assessment and publication decisions remain based exclusively on academic merit and compliance with journal policies.
Publication in IMAPE is not conditioned on payment of an APC. Manuscripts that successfully complete editorial screening, peer review, revision, and final editorial evaluation may proceed to publication without an article processing payment from the authors.
Free publication does not mean automatic or guaranteed publication. Every manuscript must satisfy IMAPE's academic, methodological, ethical, and editorial standards.
| • Original scholarly contribution • Sound research methodology • Reliable empirical evidence • Appropriate data analysis |
• Ethical research conduct • Clear relevance to primary education • Alignment with IMAPE's scope • Satisfactory peer-review outcome |
IMAPE prioritizes high-quality original empirical research related to Islamic morality, character education, religious awareness, spiritual development, pedagogy, educational technology, school culture, teacher practices, family engagement, and other relevant dimensions of primary education. Free publication does not exempt manuscripts from the journal's focus and scope requirements.
Financial considerations are kept separate from peer review and editorial decision-making. Editors and reviewers evaluate manuscripts independently on the basis of scholarly quality, originality, methodological rigor, ethical integrity, relevance to IMAPE's scope, and the strength of the research contribution.
The absence of an APC must not be interpreted as a guarantee of manuscript acceptance or publication. Manuscripts that are outside the journal's scope, insufficiently original, methodologically weak, ethically problematic, or unable to satisfy reviewer and editorial requirements may be rejected.
Articles published by IMAPE are made openly accessible through the official journal website. Readers may access published scholarly content in accordance with the journal's open-access, copyright, and licensing policies.
IMAPE publicly states its APC policy so that prospective authors can understand the journal's publication conditions before submission. If the journal's APC policy changes in the future, any change will be announced transparently through the official journal website before being applied to relevant manuscripts.
IMAPE is published by CV. Erukasyah Lagaliora Publishing . The journal's free-publication policy is administered independently from manuscript evaluation and does not alter the authority of editors and reviewers in maintaining scholarly standards.
IMAPE is committed to providing free scholarly publication without Article Processing Charges while maintaining rigorous editorial screening, independent peer review, publication ethics, methodological quality, and clear alignment with the journal's academic scope.
