This journal applies article processing charges to authors according to the following policy:

• Article Submission: IDR 0.00/USD 0.00. Authors are not required to pay any fees during the article submission process.
• Fast Track Review: IDR 0.00/USD 0.00. Authors are not required to pay any additional fees for expedited review or editorial processing.
• Article Publication: IDR 0.00/USD 0.00. Authors are not required to pay an Article Publication Fee to cover the costs of editorial processing.

WAIVER POLICY: 
To enhance accessibility and promote the dissemination of knowledge, JGMDS offers a Waiver Policy for authors who are unable to pay the Article Processing Charges (APC) due to financial constraints. JGMDS understands that some institutions may have limited funding for research activities. Therefore, we have implemented a comprehensive fee waiver system to ease the manuscript handling costs for researchers wishing to publish their work in JGMDS. Our primary goal, as outlined in our mission, is to accelerate the dissemination of knowledge through the publication of high-quality research. We aim to achieve this goal without imposing an undue financial burden on researchers or their institutions. As part of this effort, we have established the following waiver policy:
