Media Konservasi offers APC vouchers for outstanding authors and reviewers, and waivers or discounts for authors from low- and lower-middle-income countries.

Vouchers
Editor's Choice AwardFor authors 50%off APC

In every issue, one outstanding paper is selected based on several parameters, including citation performance. Its authors receive an e-certificate and a 50% APC voucher.

Reviewer VoucherFor reviewers 50%off APC

A reward for reviewing papers in Media Konservasi. Each reviewer receives an email containing a voucher code.

50% + 50% = 100% free APC Combine any two vouchers on one paper
  • One paper per voucher. Each voucher can be claimed once, for a single submission.
  • Claim date = submission date. The date you submit the paper counts as the date the voucher is claimed.
  • Mind the expiry date. Vouchers claimed after their expiration date are invalid.
  • Transferable. Anyone may use a voucher, not only the person who received it.
How to redeem
  1. Open the invoice link sent to you by the editor.
  2. Enter your voucher code in the invoice system.
  3. Pay the reduced amount. Once the code is accepted, the APC is reduced automatically.
