Open Access Policy
Journal of Global Integrated Research (JGIR) is an open access journal, thus, all its articles are accessible without charges to international readers. To read, download or share any article, you do not need a subscription, a login, or even payment. In our opinion, the research must be open, transparent, and accessible, in other words, so that new knowledge can be of benefit to anyone, everywhere.
The open access policy helps in the sharing of ideas worldwide and assists the research to reach the largest audience of possible users, such as academics, professionals, students, policymakers, and common people. We want to increase the visibility of the work published in JGIR and the impact by eliminating barriers to access.
What Open Access Means to Authors
- Free worldwide distribution: Your article can be read online by anyone and it is made accessible as soon as it is published.
- Wider readership: Open access would give your research a better opportunity to be noticed, read and used by others across the globe.
- Author rights: The authors also have the right to their work and you may share your published article on personal websites or institutional repositories or academic networks.
We urge authors to take advantage of open access by distributing their articles in a manner that enables other people to learn and utilize their work.
What Open Access Means for Readers
- None of the paywalls: All the content is free of charge and without subscription.
- Simple sharing: Readers have the freedom to share articles with colleagues, students or partners.
- Open engagement: Research can be used by teachers, practitioners, and policymakers in making decisions without encountering any restrictions to access.
By being open access, it becomes simpler to transfer findings and knowledge across academic and geographical boundaries.
Licensing and Use

Why We Do It
Open access does not only consist of the format of publishing but a kind of philosophy. JGIR makes research freely available to a wider and more knowledgeable research society. It assists to dismantle obstacles that may delay dissemination of knowledge and restricts the notion of the select few having access to academic knowledge.
You are either an experienced researcher, a curious learner, or even a professional seeking evidence to support your activity, the open access should mean that the information you require is only one click away.
