The Journal of Innovation in Governance and Business Practices operates under a fully funded Gold Open Access model, ensuring that all published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide without subscriptions, paywalls, or access restrictions.

The journal does not levy Article Processing Charges (APCs) and does not charge submission or publication fees to authors at any stage. Authors, institutions, and funders are never required to make payments for publication.

Funding and Sustainability

The sustainable operation of the journal is supported through direct industrial funding by the publisher, Industrix Dynamics GmbH. This funding covers all costs associated with:

• Rigorous peer review and editorial management

• Production, hosting, and long-term digital archiving

• Global dissemination and indexing-related activities

• Platform maintenance and quality assurance

The journal does not offer paid optional services, and editorial decisions are strictly independent of financial considerations, reinforcing ethical and transparent publishing practices.

Commitment to Open Access

By removing financial barriers for both authors and readers, the journal prioritizes unrestricted knowledge dissemination, industrial relevance, and global accessibility, while maintaining high standards of review integrity and publication quality.
