Funding and Editorial Fees

There are no publication or service charges for authors in Democratic Governance. The journal provides free access to both publishing and reading, ensuring that financial barriers do not limit the dissemination of research.

Publishing without fees is essential because it:

  • guarantees equal opportunities for researchers regardless of their financial resources;
  • supports young scholars and academics from institutions with limited funding;
  • promotes open knowledge exchange and wider international visibility of research;
  • strengthens academic integrity by focusing on quality, not on payment capacity.

In this way, Democratic Governance contributes to a more inclusive and accessible global academic community.

The journal is published on the material and technical base of the Lviv Polytechnic National University.
