Our journal provides immediate and unrestricted access to its content, ensuring that research findings are freely available to readers worldwide. We believe that open access facilitates the dissemination of knowledge, enhances the visibility of research, and promotes equitable access to scientific information across the global community.

Benefits of Open Access

Open access provides numerous benefits to authors, researchers, and the broader academic community. Authors experience greater visibility and citation potential for their work. Researchers, especially those from underprivileged regions, gain access to cutting-edge studies without subscription costs. The global scientific community benefits from a faster and more inclusive exchange of ideas, which fosters innovation and collaborative research.

Archiving and Preservation

GJMCCR utilizes advanced archiving and preservation systems to ensure the longevity of published content. All articles are stored in multiple repositories and indexed in major digital archives, including LOCKSS and CLOCKSS, guaranteeing permanent access to the journal’s content. Our archiving practices align with the highest standards in the publishing industry, ensuring that research is preserved for future generations.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

To sustain the open access model and cover the costs associated with high-quality publishing, GJMCCR applies a transparent Article Processing Charge (APC) to accepted manuscripts. This charge supports peer review, editing, production, and long-term hosting. We are committed to ensuring that APCs remain fair and competitive, and we offer fee waivers or discounts for authors from low-income countries or underfunded institutions.

Our journal adheres to industry best practices for discoverability, indexing, and online accessibility. Articles published in GJMCCR are indexed in leading scientific databases, making them accessible to researchers, educators, policymakers, and practitioners worldwide. This approach fosters knowledge-sharing and amplifies the impact of medical and clinical research.
