Abstract
Background: The article-processing-charge model has reorganized the political economy of knowledge production, while researcher-level perceptions of fairness remain under-measured in the Global South.
Objective: To test whether institutional publication pressure predicts perceived epistemic injustice and whether publication-cost privatization and research cannibalization mediate that relationship among Indonesian academics.
Methods: A cross-sectional survey of 312 academics used validated multi-item scales, multiple regression, parallel mediation with 5,000 bootstrap samples, moderation, common-method testing, and multicollinearity diagnostics.
Results: Publication pressure, cost privatization, and research cannibalization independently predicted epistemic injustice, explaining 34.6% of variance. Both mediators carried significant indirect effects, and perceived grant availability buffered the pressure-to-privatization path.
Conclusion: Publication mandates without adequate funding may generate perceived epistemic injustice; the findings formalize the 'illusion of inclusivity' as a measurable perception.
