Open Access Policy

Overview

Associated Management Consultants Private Limited (AMCPL) is committed to maximising the accessibility of scholarly research. IJM operates a hybrid open access model: archival content published before 2024 is freely available to all readers worldwide, while recent publications (2024 onwards) remain under subscription to support the quality and sustainability of the publishing process.

Archival Content Free (pre-2024) Subscription Required (2024 onwards) Non-Commercial Use

Archival Open Access (2008–2023)

Free to Access & Download

All content published in the Indian Journal of Marketing between 2008 and 2023 is freely downloadable worldwide. No subscription, registration, or payment is required to access this archival content.

Non-Commercial Use

Archival open access PDFs are provided for non-commercial research and education use only. Reproduction for commercial purposes requires prior written permission from AMCPL.

Repository & Self-Archiving

Authors may deposit their pre-2024 published articles in institutional or subject repositories provided the original source (Indian Journal of Marketing) and the article DOI are clearly acknowledged.

Publisher Copyright

AMCPL retains exclusive reproduction and distribution rights over all published content. Open access does not transfer copyright to the author or the reader.

Subscription Content (2024 Onwards)

Subscription or Pay-Per-View

Articles published from January 2024 onwards require either an active journal subscription or pay-per-view access. Individual and institutional subscription plans are available.

Why Subscription?

Recent content is subscription-funded to cover the costs of editorial management, peer review coordination, plagiarism screening, typesetting, DOI assignment, and long-term digital archiving.

Sustainability & Future Directions

AMCPL is actively exploring sustainable models to expand its open access offerings while maintaining the financial viability necessary to support high-quality editorial operations. The organisation covers all costs associated with hosting and providing free access to archival content, with no charge to readers or institutions for pre-2024 material.
