Pendipa publishes all of its articles in the full open-access format, in the Indonesian language or English. The scientific community and the general public have free, unlimited, and direct access to all content published in Pendipa as soon as it is published on the Internet.

This means that Pendipa does not receive revenue from sales of subscriptions to the print or online version of its journals, nor from charging "pay per view" fees.

Therefore, Pendipa needs to finance its editorial and production costs by collecting an article processing charge (APC) from authors or research funding bodies. The author fee for the Pendipa journal is IDR 600,000 for Indonesian authors or US$50 for others. This charge includes editorial services and article production, and is paid when the editor confirms that the article has been accepted for processing to RPL 016 BLU UNIB 2500002200.
