Social Impact

At Global Journals®, we believe knowledge is a social good. Beyond publishing, we take active steps to serve communities, support equity, and empower research across regions. Our social initiatives strengthen connections between scholarship and society, and help bridge gaps in access, capacity, and impact.

Key Social Programs & Commitments

Research & Capacity Building in Underserved Regions

We run programs to support scholars in underrepresented countries or institutions through training, mentorship, grants, and access support. These efforts help build local research capacity and foster equitable participation in global scholarship.

Open Knowledge & Community Access

We participate in open content sharing efforts, such as author sharing, repository links, or special open access collections, to increase the reach of published work beyond paywalls, especially to practitioners, NGOs, students, and public audiences.

Thematic Outreach & Public Engagement

We partner with educational institutions, governmental bodies, and civil society to host webinars, seminars, and public dialogues on pressing issues like climate change, public health, equity, and social justice. Through these activities, we bring research into conversation with societal challenges

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) Actions

As an extension of our DEI commitments, we support social inclusion by

  • Encouraging submissions from marginalized regions, minority groups, and early-career researchers
  • Running waiver or sponsorship programs for authors with limited resources
  • Promoting underrepresented research topics that address social needs

Partnerships with Nonprofits & NGOs

During submission, authors should submit copies of permission letters, license text, or screenshots

Scholarship & Fellowship Programs

We provide fellowships, travel grants, or publication fee waivers for deserving researchers, particularly from regions with less funding, so they can share their work and engage in global discourse.

Why These Initiatives Matter

  • They help reduce inequalities in research participation by giving resources and visibility to those who might otherwise be excluded.
  • They connect rigorous research to real-world challenges and communities who benefit from evidence-informed insights.
  • They strengthen trust, relevance, and legitimacy of scholarship when academia engages socially.
  • They extend our role from being publishers to being partners in positive social impact.
