Our Mission
Galaxy: International Multidisciplinary Research Journal is a peer-reviewed international open-access eJournal dedicated to advancing scholarly research in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and interdisciplinary studies. Founded in 2012, Galaxy has built a consistent record of publishing original, rigorous research that serves scholars from undergraduate through doctoral levels worldwide.
We believe that quality scholarship should be accessible to researchers everywhere. Through our open-access model, we ensure that financial barriers never prevent important ideas from reaching their audience. Every article published in Galaxy is permanently free to read, share, and cite — without paywalls or registration barriers.

Commitment to Quality
Rigorous Peer Review
Every article submitted to Galaxy undergoes double-blind peer review by three independent reviewers. Reviewers evaluate originality, methodology, argument, and scholarly contribution. Authors typically receive decisions within 15–20 days following the submission deadline for the relevant issue.
Editorial Independence
All editorial decisions are made independently by our Editorial Board based solely on academic merit, originality, relevance, and adherence to ethical standards. The publisher does not interfere with editorial judgment.
Publication Ethics
We uphold the highest standards of research integrity. All submissions undergo plagiarism screening. Authors are required to disclose any use of AI-assisted tools. We maintain full transparency in our review processes and handle conflicts of interest with care. Full details are available in our Publication Ethics statement.
