Publishing in the International Journal for Multidisciplinary Research (IJFMR) has become one of the most popular entry points for young researchers looking to share their work with a wider academic audience.
Understanding how IJFMR works, and how to make the most of it, can feel a little confusing at first. With its broad range of disciplines, detailed guidelines, and fast-moving review cycle, there’s a lot to navigate before you hit “submit.” In this guide, we break down the journal’s process in a simple, friendly way and share practical tips to help you put your strongest paper forward.
What Kind of Work Can You Submit?
IJFMR accepts original research papers i.e., studies where you’ve explored a question, run an experiment or survey, or developed a new insight. Whether your project is theoretical, experimental, descriptive, or data-driven, IJFMR is open to it as long as the work is genuinely your own.
You don’t need a 30-page scholarly article. Most papers are around 4–8 pages, which is the perfect length to present your idea clearly without overwhelming yourself or the reader.
Eligibility
Anyone can submit: from high schoolers to graduate students, even early researchers or professionals from anywhere in the world.
There are no rigid qualifications or restrictions. Your paper must be original and not under review anywhere else - that’s it.
Publication Fee
Once your paper is accepted, IJFMR charges a publication fee:
₹1500 + 18% GST for Indian authors
USD 70 for authors outside India
If your paper has 5 or more authors, there’s a small additional fee (₹300 or USD 10 per extra author)
Submission Process
Submissions are accepted on a rolling basis. Students submit their manuscript through the online submission portal here, after which they receive an acknowledgment email confirming receipt. Upon acceptance, authors complete the required copyright and undertaking form and upload the finalized documents as instructed. Once all materials are submitted, the paper is processed for publication, and digital publication certificates are sent to all listed authors.
Review Timeline
An editor first conducts an initial screening to assess the basic suitability of your manuscript. If it meets the required standards, it is forwarded for double-blind peer review. Following this process, you will receive a formal decision—accept, accept with revisions, or reject—typically within 7–12 days. Once the paper is accepted and the publication fee has been processed, it is usually published within a few days, and the digital publication certificate is issued to all listed authors via email.
