Funding and Financial Transparency

Jurnal Venus is owned and published by Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Makassar, Indonesia. The journal operates as a scholarly publication platform that supports the dissemination of research and professional knowledge in maritime science, engineering, shipping, sea transportation, and related fields.

The journal's publication activities are supported through institutional resources and facilities provided by the publisher. Financial or institutional support must not influence editorial decisions, peer-review outcomes, manuscript acceptance, rejection, or the academic content published by Jurnal Venus.

Jurnal Venus receives institutional support from Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Makassar as its owner and publisher. Such support may include journal management infrastructure, website and server facilities, editorial administration, publication processing, digital publishing services, and other resources necessary for the continuity of journal operations.

Institutional support is intended to maintain the sustainability and accessibility of the journal and does not create any entitlement to influence the editorial assessment of individual manuscripts.

Jurnal Venus does not charge authors any Article Processing Charge (APC) for manuscript submission, editorial processing, peer review, acceptance, publication, or access to published articles.

Further information regarding author charges is available in the Article Processing Charges policy.

Jurnal Venus does not operate a pay-to-publish model. Payment, donation, sponsorship, institutional affiliation, professional position, or other financial consideration does not guarantee manuscript acceptance or publication.

All submitted manuscripts must undergo the journal's applicable editorial screening and peer-review procedures. Manuscript decisions are based on scholarly quality, originality, relevance, methodological rigor, contribution to knowledge, and compliance with publication ethics.

Financial, institutional, administrative, or logistical support must remain separate from editorial decision-making. The publisher, funding sources, sponsors, or other supporting parties must not determine whether an individual manuscript is accepted or rejected.

The Editor-in-Chief and authorized editors retain responsibility for editorial decisions in accordance with the journal's policies, peer-review process, and applicable conflict-of-interest requirements.

Revenue generation, institutional support, or financial sustainability must never compromise the integrity, impartiality, transparency, or independence of editorial decisions.

The financial model of the journal is separate from the funding of individual research articles. Authors are responsible for disclosing any funding, grants, sponsorship, institutional support, or other financial assistance received for the research reported in their manuscript.

Where applicable, authors should identify the funding organization and grant or project number and explain the role of the funder in the research.

Where no external funding was received, authors may state: "This research received no external funding."

If Jurnal Venus receives external financial, technical, logistical, or other support for a specific scholarly activity, such support must not provide the supporting party with inappropriate influence over editorial decisions or the content of individual articles.

Any relevant sponsorship arrangement should be transparently identified when necessary. Sponsors must not select peer reviewers, determine editorial outcomes, suppress legitimate findings, or require publication of predetermined conclusions.

Decisions concerning manuscripts must never be linked to the journal's financial interests. The number of accepted manuscripts, publication decisions, reviewer recommendations, or editorial outcomes must not be manipulated for the purpose of generating revenue or satisfying funding targets.

Editorial decisions remain independent from institutional funding, financial support, sponsorship, advertising arrangements, or other commercial considerations.

Any voluntary donation, institutional contribution, or other form of financial assistance, if received, must not provide preferential treatment to authors, reviewers, institutions, or other parties.

Financial contributions must not be used to purchase favorable editorial decisions, accelerated peer review, guaranteed publication, preferential article placement, or other editorial advantages.

Any policy concerning advertising is separate from editorial decision-making and the journal's scholarly assessment process. Advertising, where applicable, must not influence manuscript selection, peer review, editorial recommendations, or publication decisions.

Further information is provided in the Advertising Policy .

Jurnal Venus is committed to presenting clear and accurate information regarding its funding model, author charges, publisher, and relevant financial arrangements.

If the journal's funding model or author-charge policy changes in the future, the information published on the journal website will be updated to ensure that authors and readers can identify applicable charges or financial arrangements before submitting a manuscript.

Commitment to Financial Transparency and Editorial Independence

Jurnal Venus is committed to maintaining a transparent funding model in which financial and institutional support sustains journal operations without influencing editorial judgment. Manuscript acceptance, peer review, and publication decisions remain based on scholarly merit, research integrity, relevance, methodological quality, and compliance with the journal's editorial and ethical standards.
