The Journal of Global Trends in Social Science (JGTSS) operates as a fully open-access journal, ensuring that all published content is freely accessible to readers worldwide without financial or technical barriers. Our business model is designed to support sustainable and ethical publishing practices while maintaining high standards of academic quality.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

To cover the costs associated with peer review, editorial services, production, and online hosting, JGTSS applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 150 per accepted manuscript.

• No other fees are charged at any stage of the publication process. This includes no submission fees, editorial processing charges, page charges, or color charges.
• The APC is only payable after the manuscript has been accepted for publication following a rigorous peer-review process.

APC Waivers and Discounts

JGTSS is committed to supporting global academic participation, especially from underrepresented regions.

• Authors from low-income countries, as defined by international standards, are eligible for a 50% waiver on the APC.
• Authors affiliated with universities or research institutions that have established collaborative agreements with JSBE are granted a full APC waiver.

Authors who wish to request a waiver must provide relevant documentation during the submission process.

No Charges for Withdrawals

Authors may withdraw their manuscripts at any stage without incurring any charges.

Commitment to Transparency

JGTSS ensures full transparency in its fee structure and waiver policies. There are no hidden costs or additional fees beyond the APC stated above. We believe this model aligns with our mission to provide open and equitable access to knowledge.
