Dear Ebri Okon,

Regarding your question about journals with no article processing charges (APC) in architecture, I believe it depends on your specific requirements.

International Journals

• If you're looking to publish in an international journal, I recommend the International Journal of Environment, Architecture, and Societies (IJEAS). This journal typically publishes articles related to architecture, heritage studies, and cultural studies. You can submit your paper at: https://ijeas.untan.ac.id/index.php/home/about/submissions
• I suggest this journal because the editorial process is relatively quick. You can check their acceptance rate and processing speed at: https://ijeas.untan.ac.id/index.php/home/accspeed

Scopus and WoS Indexed Journals

• Before submitting, ensure you understand your university's requirements for graduation. If you need to publish in a journal indexed by Scopus or Web of Science, here are some of my favorite journals:(Note: Based on my experience, it takes years to get published in these journals because they are free and therefore have long waiting lists, I assume)
• Interiority - Submission link: interiority.eng.ui.ac.id/index.php/journal/about/submissions
• Journal of Regional and City Planning - Submission link: journals.itb.ac.id/index.php/jpwk/index
• Journal of Design and Built Environment - Submission link: ejournal.um.edu.my/index.php/jdbe/index
• Journal of Urban Culture Research (JUCR) - Submission link: so04.tci-thaijo.org/index.php/JUCR
• AZ ITU - Submission link: az.itu.edu.tr/index.php/jfa

Please double-check their current publication fee policies, as they may have changed. However, the last time I checked, these journals did not charge fees.

Technical Tips

• To find information on APCs or fees, search for keywords like "APC," "fee," or "free" on the journal's website. For example, in Google, you can type: “fee” site: https://interiority.eng.ui.ac.id/

Using SCImago

• You can check journals indexed by Scopus on SCImago. I've set the link to focus on architecture journals for you: https://www.scimagojr.com/journalrank.php?category=2216
