IGSR — Institute for Global Studies and Research

Funding and Independence

Last updated: 3 November 2026

How IGSR is funded

IGSR is currently funded by its founder. It receives no funding from any government, political party, corporation or foreign entity. Its publishing is sustained by minimal publication charges, which cover article processing, website maintenance, institute development and management costs (see our Editorial Policies). Members of the founding team and editorial volunteers contribute their time without payment, and internships are unpaid.

Our principles on funding

  • We accept funding only where it does not influence our research agenda, our conclusions or our editorial decisions.
  • We do not accept funding from political parties, or from any source that asks for control over what we publish.
  • Any future institutional funder, grant or sponsor contributing to IGSR's work will be named on this page, together with the work it supports.
  • Where a publication is supported by a specific funder, this is stated on the publication itself.

Independence of our research

Authors write in their own name and are responsible for their analysis. IGSR's editors decide what is published on the basis of quality and evidence alone. No payment, role or relationship with IGSR guarantees publication.
