About the Journal

Glocalism is a peer-reviewed, open access and cross-disciplinary journal, established in 2013 and, since 2024, published by Milano University Press on behalf of the association Globus et Locus.

The journal, open to general submissions year-round, aims at stimulating increased awareness and knowledge around the new dynamics that characterise both globalization and glocalization. Therefore, put simply, the journal focuses not only on the process of global standardisation but also on how individuals and local communities produce specific answers to this effect and generate a new local reality which influences the development of a diversified and more highly interconnected world.

Glocalism does not have article submission charges (ASCs) or article processing charges (APCs). All the articles are published without publication fees and are freely available online.

As Glocalism is a six-monthly journal, two issues will be published annually.

However, after having gone through the peer review process, and accepted, each article is immediately published online on the journal's "Online First" page.

Glocalism complies with the COPE Core Practices for Journal Publishers. It is identified by an International Standard Serial Number (ISSN). Each article carries a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), which serves as a unique electronic identification tag.
