Update on Publication Fees

2026-03-19

Dear Authors and Contributors,

To continue providing a high-quality publishing experience and rigorous peer review, Planning Malaysia Journal will be making a necessary adjustment to our publication fees. The new Article Processing Charge (APC) will be RM1,500 (USD 430).

Over time, the operational costs associated with the daily management of the journal have steadily increased. To ensure our long-term sustainability and maintain our high editorial standards, an increase in the publication fee is required to help cover these rising management expenses.

Please note that any manuscripts submitted before this decision, or those currently under review, will not be affected by the change.

We deeply appreciate your understanding and your continued support of Planning Malaysia Journal.

Sincerely,

The Editorial Board
Planning Malaysia Journal
