The internationally recognized university is empowering their faculty to publish research under Open Access by working with a medium-sized independent academic publisher, IGI Global.

Following the first conversion of a portion of IGI Global’s hybrid open access/subscription-based journals to gold open access (OA) in 2021, and then again in 2022, IGI Global is pleased to announce that the remainder of their hybrid open access/subscription-based journal collection will officially convert to gold OA beginning January 1st, 2023.

OA publishing does not have to be complicated. IGI Global offers unique OA Agreements, Transformative Options, and Publish & Read Agreements that can help provide institutions with the flexibility needed to participate and promote Open Access within their own walls.

Through the University of North Texas’ investment in IGI Global e-Collections, the institution was able to support publishing the Handbook of Research on the Global View of Open Access and Scholarly Communications, edited by Dr. Daniel Gelaw Alemneh, from this institution, under diamond OA. Additionally, this initiative is providing unlimited OA article processing charge and chapter processing charge waivers for their institution.

From predatory publishing to blatant scams, researchers and academicians must navigate through waves of unethical publishing practices in order to contribute to scientific knowledge.

IGI Global is proud to host “Zoom Into the Future of Open Access Publishing,” a free OA information session, on June 22nd, 2022 at 10 a.m. EST.

IGI Global, a medium sized independent publisher, is pleased to announce our new Emerging Topic e-Collections.

IGI Global is now making it easier than ever for authors to convert their previously published subscription-based (standard access) content to open access (OA).

To maintain strict ethical standards, the double-blind peer review is a key step in IGI Global’s publishing process for both books and journals.

Indexing is of paramount importance in publishing, especially when it comes to journals. Driven by institutional mandates, university departments, and an insistence that faculty only receive credit when publishing in journals listed in specific indices, it is clear that indexing has become a necessity for the survival of a journal.

Whether serving on a review board for an academic publication or contributing to that publication as an author, it is of the utmost importance that any academic or professional affiliation that is tied to your published work and/or review activities be as accurate as possible.

With open access (OA) taking academic publishing by storm, authors often find themselves having to convert their form of currency to that of what the publisher accepts when trying to pay OA article processing charges (APCs) and chapter processing charges (CPCs).

As we settle into the new year, it is important to stay up to date on the everchanging research trends and emerging concepts rocking the academic world.

There are many ways to work with IGI Global including submitting a book proposal, journal proposal, or special issue proposal, or becoming a reviewer.

With the continuing upheaval in the job market of employees leaving en-masse, many are familiar with a chorus of employers asking, “Why?”

Success in Open Access (OA) publishing does not just stem from published OA works, but the metadata infrastructure that works behind the scenes to ensure maximum optimization of accessibility of open and freely available publications.

As open access (OA) is continually on the rise, OA business models are transforming and becoming more diverse.

When submitting an article or chapter manuscript to any publication, there are lots of items that authors must check off their list to ensure that there are no hiccups that could potentially cause a delay or halt in publication.

For those of you who may not already know me, my name is Melissa Wagner and I have recently been promoted to serve as the new Vice President of Editorial for IGI Global.
