Overview

IJGHMI is an open-access journal, ensuring all published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide. To maintain high standards and ensure maximum visibility, we charge an Article Processing Charge (APC).

This fee supports peer review, professional article production, and dissemination across global academic platforms. The APC covers editorial support, typesetting, formatting, hosting, indexing, and long-term digital archiving, ensuring IJGHMI remains a reputable platform.

General Information on APCs

• IJGHMI is fully open-access, allowing unrestricted access to all articles.
• Articles are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license, allowing unlimited use, sharing, and reuse with proper attribution.
• The APC is a one-time fee payable after manuscript acceptance.

Note: IJGHMI does not charge submission fees, nor do we apply surcharges based on article length, number of figures, or supplementary data. Certain content types, such as Editorials, Book Reviews, and Corrections, may be published free of charge.
