Article Publishing Charges

The Journal of Global Smallholder Studies (JGSS) is committed to providing open access to all its published content, ensuring that a worldwide audience can freely access research without subscription fees. This is enabled through the financial support of Article Publishing Charges (APCs).

APCs are applied only to manuscripts accepted for publication following a rigorous peer-review process. These charges cover essential publishing costs, including copyediting, typesetting, online hosting, content preservation, and long-term archiving. Note that there are no submission fees, and authors of rejected manuscripts incur no charges.

To encourage contributions and reduce financial barriers for authors, the Global Smallholder Studies Academy will fully sponsor APCs for all articles submitted by 31st December 2027.
