Journal Quality Policy

The International Review of Multidisciplinary Research (IRMR), published by Vertex International Research and Consultancy Corp., commits to the highest standards of academic publishing to ensure rigorous, transparent, and impactful scholarship.

Editorial Standards

All submissions undergo double-blind peer review by at least two independent experts, with decisions based solely on scholarly merit (average: 2 weeks to 1 month). We maintain high selectivity to uphold rigorous quality standards. Plagiarism is screened using industry-standard tools; manuscripts exceeding 15% similarity are rejected.

Ethical Compliance

IRMR follows COPE, ICMJE, and RA 10173 (Philippine Data Privacy Act) guidelines. Full ethics statement, privacy policy, and post-acceptance forms (copyright transfer, authorship declarations, data availability via GitHub/Zenodo) ensure integrity and reproducibility.

Indexing and Preservation

IRMR uses Zenodo for DOIs, GitHub for data/code repositories, and mandates ORCID iDs for all authors. Articles are indexed in Google Scholar and other major bodies, while actively aligning with Scopus and Web of Science standards for future inclusion

Publication Model

Open access under CC BY 4.0 license. Article Processing Charges (APCs) apply to cover editorial, peer review, production, and archiving costs; full details and current rates are provided on the submission page. Data/code availability via GitHub is mandatory per our policy.

This statement, effective January 1, 2026, demonstrates our readiness for international indexing and builds trust with multidisciplinary researchers worldwide.
