Who are we?
International Research Publishing Group (IRPG) is a global publishing house dedicated to launching, nurturing, and sustaining high-quality open-access journals. We partner with editorial teams to deliver robust peer review workflows, professional production, DOI registration, JATS/XML metadata delivery, and long-term digital preservation to maximize discoverability and indexing eligibility.
IRPG’s Aims & Scope
International Research Publishing Group exists to elevate scholarly communication through principled stewardship and technical excellence. Our aims are:
- To incubate and publish multiple discipline-focused journals that prioritize methodological rigor, reproducibility, and clear reporting.
- To ensure every journal under our imprint meets international ethical standards and indexing criteria—providing editorial guidance, plagiarism screening, and COPE-aligned workflows that support inclusion in DOAJ, Scopus, and Web of Science where appropriate.
- To maximize discoverability by assigning DOIs, depositing full metadata with Crossref, and delivering metadata to indexers and repositories. (See Indexing & Abstracting, Metadata & Deliverables)
- To support open access and sustainable publishing models that balance author rights, transparent Article Processing Charges (APCs), waiver policies, and long-term preservation. (See Open Access · For Authors → APC & Payment · Archiving & Preservation)
- To cultivate global editorial and reviewer communities, foster diversity of expertise, and promote timely dissemination of high-impact research. (See For Reviewers)
These publisher-level aims frame the scope and standards that will be adopted by each journal we host; individual journals will publish their own journal-specific Aims & Scope pages aligned with these principles.
