For over 35 years, IGI Global has strived to provide exemplary support to the academic community with a mission that continues to seek to embrace underrepresented researchers and ensure that they too are provided with an outlet in which to share their perspectives and research findings.

As of 2023, IGI Global has transitioned its full journal collection to open access. While open access allows for free and immediate access to published research without paywalls or restrictions, the process of publishing open access work incurs certain costs. Publishers invest significant time and resources to ensure the quality and integrity of open access research. This article explains the concept of OA processing charges, their necessity, and provides information on funding options.

In an effort to create a more realistic outlook on the problems currently challenging the publishing industry, IGI Global invites all publishing stakeholders to participate in the Academic Publishing Trends & Open Access Survey.

For the third year in a row, IGI Global took part in Nova Southeastern University’s Annual Power Publishing Day with their presentation entitled, “Unlock the Potential of Your Research: Benefits of Publishing Under Open Access.”

IGI Global, international academic publisher, has recently integrated with CORE, the world’s largest aggregator of open access research papers from existing repositories and journals.

In scholarly publishing, open access (OA) has become widely associated with journal publishing, but what many do not realize is that OA models are also available for full book publishing, even if the book was originally published behind a paywall.

To support our valuable stakeholders in furthering their understanding of IGI Global’s Open Access Publishing Program, we are pleased to share IGI Global’s Open Access Brochure.

IGI Global is pleased to announce that the remainder of their hybrid/standard journals are now officially converted to Gold Open Access as of January 1st, 2023.

According to Web of Science, the Eigenfactor was introduced back in 2006 as an alternative way of deciphering a journal’s impact, as well as building upon the idea of the Journal Impact Factor (JIF).
