Publishing Concept

The GIGA Journal Family is funded by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG)as a pilot project in open-access publishing. Since the beginning of 2009 all socio-scientific journals of the GIGA German Institute of Global and Area Studies have been transformed into open-access journals which means their full content is freely online accessible without time delay or cost to the reader. In addition, it remains available in traditional printed format.
To ensure the journals' quality, all essays are evaluated in a double-blind peer-review process.
