Diversity and Inclusion Statement
Global Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies and Technological Innovations (GJMSTI)
At the Global Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies and Technological Innovations (GJMSTI), we are firmly committed to cultivating an inclusive, equitable, and diverse academic environment that reflects the global landscape of multidisciplinary research and technological advancement. We believe that diversity—across nationality, ethnicity, gender, age, ability, religion, socioeconomic background, and scholarly discipline—enriches research and drives meaningful innovation.
We actively promote diversity and inclusion throughout all aspects of our journal, including authorship, editorial leadership, peer review, and readership. Our commitment is guided by the following principles:
- Inclusive Editorial Practices
GJMSTI is dedicated to building an editorial board that is diverse in expertise, geographical representation, gender, and background. We actively encourage participation from underrepresented groups and foster a culture of respect, collaboration, and impartiality throughout our editorial processes.
- Equitable Access to Knowledge
As an open-access journal, GJMSTI ensures that all published research is freely available to readers worldwide. We offer waivers and discounts to support authors from low- and middle-income countries, thereby reducing financial barriers and promoting global participation in scholarly publishing.
- Fair and Unbiased Peer Review
We maintain a rigorous double-blind peer review system to minimize bias and ensure that submissions are judged solely on scholarly merit. Reviewers and editors are provided with resources and guidance to support inclusive, constructive, and respectful feedback.
- Representation in Research
We encourage authors to consider diversity in their research design, participant selection, data analysis, and reporting. We welcome studies that address issues related to equity, access, justice, and inclusion within and across disciplines.
- Zero Tolerance for Discrimination
GJMSTI upholds a strict zero-tolerance policy against any form of discrimination, harassment, or exclusionary behavior. We are committed to providing a safe, respectful, and supportive publishing experience for all contributors.
- Commitment to Continuous Improvement
We recognize that diversity and inclusion are ongoing efforts requiring regular evaluation. GJMSTI is committed to continuously reviewing and enhancing our policies, practices, and outreach to better serve our global and multidisciplinary community.
We believe that embracing diversity strengthens science and fosters more inclusive technological progress. Through this commitment, GJMSTI seeks not only to publish outstanding research but also to be a force for global equity and positive societal change.
