Publishing in the International Journal of Market Research is completely free of charge. Authors are not required to pay any fees to submit their manuscripts or to have their work published in this journal.
The International Journal of Market Research, published by SAGE Publishing, emphasizes accessibility and aims to encourage submissions and peer review from a diverse range of authors and reviewers across all countries and backgrounds. This commitment is supported by their policy of not charging any publication or submission fees.
Key Aspects for Authors
For researchers and academics looking to publish their work, this "no fee" policy offers several benefits:
- Financial Accessibility: Eliminates a significant barrier for authors, particularly those from institutions with limited funding or researchers from developing countries.
- Focus on Quality: Ensures that editorial decisions are based solely on the merit, originality, and rigor of the research, rather than an author's ability to pay.
- Encourages Diverse Submissions: Aligns with the journal's pledge for diversity, equity, and inclusion by making the publication process open to a wider global research community.
This approach means that authors can focus entirely on the quality and impact of their research without worrying about Article Processing Charges (APCs) or submission fees commonly associated with some open-access journals.
