About the Journal

The International African Review of Multidisciplinary Sciences (IARMS) is a peer-reviewed, open-access online journal committed to advancing high-caliber research across a broad spectrum of academic disciplines. We provide a dynamic platform for the rapid dissemination of original research articles, comprehensive review papers, mini-reviews, short communications, and case reports in fields such as the natural sciences, medical and health sciences, agriculture, engineering and technology, social sciences, humanities, and management.

Our Mission and Vision

IARMS is dedicated to fostering international collaboration and scholarly excellence by facilitating the exchange of innovative ideas among researchers, academicians, and professionals worldwide. Our mission is to elevate the visibility and impact of African research on the global stage, while promoting interdisciplinary dialogue that addresses complex, real-world challenges.

Peer Review Policy

Every submission undergoes a stringent double-blind peer review process by experts in the respective fields, ensuring that only high-quality, original research is published. We pride ourselves on a rapid review and publication cycle—often within 10 days post-acceptance—thus enabling timely access to cutting-edge findings. Special issues and thematic calls for papers further underscore our commitment to highlighting emerging research trends and priority areas.

Publication Fees

IARMS charges a fixed Article Processing Charge (APC) of USD 150 per accepted article. A 50% partial fee waiver is available on a case-by-case basis for authors from low- and middle-income countries or institutions facing funding constraints. Full details, including how to request a waiver, are on our Charges page.
