3. Editorial Independence
The publisher provides the journal’s website and hosting, DOI registration through the university’s Technical Implementation Unit for Information and Communication Technology (UPT TIK), and administrative support, but does not interfere in editorial decisions. Decisions to accept or reject manuscripts rest solely with the editors, based on peer review and the journal’s Aims and Scope.
4. Funding
Article processing charges (APC) are paid by authors only after their manuscript has been accepted, as described on the Article Processing Charge page. The APC is paid directly to Universitas Wijaya Kusuma Surabaya, which manages the funds and covers the journal’s publication infrastructure. The journal does not receive any other funding. Payment of the APC has no influence on editorial decisions. Axial does not carry advertising.
