Article Processing Charges

The International Journal of Global Multidisciplinary Research and Analytics is dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of high-quality, peer-reviewed publications across diverse disciplines of knowledge. As part of our commitment to open access publishing, all articles published in the journal are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication, without any subscription or paywall barriers. The open access policy of the journal is better for authors to receive more citations.

Currently, the journal does not charge any Article Processing Fee (APC) and publication is entirely free of cost. However, to ensure long-term sustainability and open access, a nominal APC will be introduced in the future.

In order to sustain this open-access model and to ensure the continued operation and technical maintenance of our digital platform, the journal will levy a nominal APC of INR 1000 from Indian authors and 25 US dollars from other authors only. This charge is intended solely to offset the minimal website maintenance costs associated with hosting, archiving, digital indexing, and the upkeep of the online submission and editorial management systems.

The International Journal of Global Multidisciplinary Research and Analytics wishes to emphasize that this APC does not cover or imply any charges for manuscript submission, peer review, editorial decision-making, or formatting services. The entire review and editorial process remains rigorous, transparent, and free of cost, in keeping with academic integrity and ethical publishing standards.

The minimal APC has been deliberately kept affordable to encourage inclusive participation from scholars, early-career researchers, and practitioners, especially from underrepresented and resource-constrained regions. It reflects our ethos of academic inclusivity, sustainability, and service to the scholarly community.

Justification of APC

The APC is levied not for profit but to support the essential backend infrastructure necessary for the journal’s uninterrupted and equitable operation. This includes the digital infrastructure for website hosting, secure manuscript archiving, ongoing indexing and metadata updates in academic databases, and software systems that manage the submission and peer review workflow. The APC enables International Journal of Global Multidisciplinary Research and Analytics to remain fully open access, removing financial and institutional barriers for readers while ensuring long-term accessibility and discoverability of published work. Keeping the APC nominal promotes ethical, accessible, and globally relevant scholarship.

For any further information or assistance regarding the APC or submission process, authors are encouraged to contact the editorial office at gmrajournal@thearyapublication.com or editor.gmrajournal@gmail.com.
