Q: How much does it cost to publish in GYSJ?

Publishing in the Global Youth Science Journal is 100% free. As an open-access platform, we charge zero article processing charges (APCs) or hidden fees. We believe financial barriers should never prevent young scientists from sharing their research.

All accepted articles automatically receive a free unique DOI via Zenodo to ensure permanent discoverability. Authors also have the option to upgrade to a Crossref DOI for a small fee (to cover external costs). We are actively expanding our indexing footprint across major databases like Google Scholar, DOAJ, and ResearchGate to maximize your academic impact.

Q: What is the timeline from submission to publication?

Initial editorial screening is completed within 1-2 weeks. The full peer-review process and author revisions typically take 4-8 weeks. Once finalized, your publication will immediately be featured in our upcoming open-access issue.
