Article Processing Charge

The International Journal for Global studies and Research (IJGSR) is dedicated to offer a transparent and ethical publishing process. Article Processing Charge (APC) is levied on manuscripts accepted for publication, to cover the costs of manuscript handling, peer review, editorial management, DOI registration, online publication, website maintenance and long-term digital archiving.

The APC is only charged once the manuscript has passed the peer-review process and has been accepted by the Editorial Board as a formal acceptance. However, the submission of a manuscript does not guarantee its acceptance and no fee is charged after submission nor during the review process.

Commitment to Transparency

IJGSR believes in maintaining complete transparency regarding publication charges. All editorial decisions are made solely on the basis of the manuscript's academic quality, originality, and relevance to the journal's scope. The ability of an author to pay the APC has no influence on the editorial evaluation or peer-review process. Our commitment remains focused on publishing high-quality, ethical, and impactful research while providing authors with a professional and reliable publishing experience.
