Open Access and No-APC Policy

GAR is an open-access journal. Published articles are available online immediately, without a reader subscription, registration requirement or embargo.

No author charges

GAR charges authors no submission fee, article processing charge (APC), page charge, colour charge or publication fee. Payment is not requested as a condition of submission, peer review, acceptance or publication.

Funding model

GAR receives no external funding. The journal is operated and supported by Rohit Kumar, Individual Publisher, publishing under the Shodh Publishing imprint, and necessary operating expenses are paid by the publisher as they arise. Financial considerations do not determine editorial decisions.

Reuse

Authors retain copyright. Articles are published under CC BY 4.0 unless a different lawful condition is clearly stated on the article. Readers may reuse the work according to the displayed licence.

Changes to charges

If the journal's funding model changes, any new charge must be disclosed clearly before submission and must not be imposed retrospectively on a manuscript already under consideration.
