Global Journal of Digital Business, Marketing, and Social Development applies a transparent author fee policy. Information regarding submission fees, review fees, publication fees, and article access fees must be clearly stated so that authors understand all conditions before submitting their manuscripts.

The publication fee is charged only after the article has been officially accepted for publication. Payment of the publication fee does not influence editorial decisions. Acceptance or rejection of manuscripts is based entirely on academic quality, originality, methodological soundness, article contribution, and compliance with publication ethics.

The fee amount, payment mechanism, and payment schedule must be clearly displayed on the journal website. The journal does not charge hidden fees to authors.
