Article Processing Charges

The International Journal of Global Human Behavior Review (IJGHBR) follows a fully open access publishing model, ensuring that all published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide without subscription or access barriers. This model promotes the global dissemination of scholarly knowledge and enhances the visibility and impact of research.

To support the costs associated with editorial management, double-blind peer review, professional typesetting, digital archiving, and online hosting, the journal applies an Article Processing Charge (APC) for accepted manuscripts.

The APC is designed to sustain high editorial and publishing standards while maintaining unrestricted access to academic content for researchers, practitioners, and institutions globally.

APC Structure

Category Description Charge
Standard APC Applicable after successful peer review and formal acceptance of the manuscript. USD 500
Fast-Track Review (Optional) Expedited editorial processing and peer review for authors requiring shorter publication timelines. USD 1000
