Author Fee

SONDE (Sound of Dentistry) is committed to ensuring the wide dissemination of dental research while maintaining high-quality editorial and publishing standards. To support open access publishing and cover operational costs, the journal applies a transparent fee structure where authors are not charged any fee for submitting, processing, or handling manuscripts. Currently, the Faculty of Dentistry at Universitas Kristen Maranatha covers the publishing costs to ensure that high-quality research in dentistry remains freely accessible to the global academic community without financial barriers. Furthermore, no hidden charges, color figure fees, or page charges are applied during any stage of the submission, peer-review, or publication process, meaning all published articles are immediately and permanently free for everyone to read and download.
