The Journal of Education Administration and Policy Studies is an open-access journal that operates under the principles of transparency, accountability, and fairness. As part of our commitment to these principles, we charge an Article Processing Charge (APC) to authors whose manuscripts have been accepted for publication.

The APC is a one-time fee that covers the costs of peer review, editing, formatting, and online hosting of the article. The APC for the Journal of Education Administration and Policy Studies is $500, which is payable by the author or their institution upon acceptance of the manuscript.

The APC covers the following services:

• Double-blind peer review by at least two independent reviewers
• Professional editing and proofreading
• Formatting and layout of the article
• Online hosting and indexing of the article
• Long-term preservation of the article through our preservation partners
