The Editor and Editorial Board of the Ghana Journal of Development Studies (GJDS) are pleased to announce that the journal has transitioned to a fully open access, online platform. This means all content is now freely available to the global academic community.

This important development underscores our commitment to enhancing the visibility of GJDS and expanding access to published research. To further enrich the author and reader experience, the new platform provides:

  • A streamlined and interactive submission and review process

  • Clearer workflows and faster processing times

  • Improved communication throughout the publication journey

As part of this transition, the Editorial Team will organize an open forum with the University community to introduce the platform’s new features and guide prospective authors and readers in navigating both the system and GJDS requirements.

In the meantime, the Editorial Board warmly invites you to explore the journal’s upgraded platform at https://gjdstu.org/index.php/GJDS/index and submit your manuscripts for consideration.

We encourage members of the University community to share this development with colleagues and networks who may benefit from or contribute to the journal. The Board looks forward to continuing to provide a platform for quality research and welcomes submissions from all development-related disciplines.
