Unveiling Seven Continents Yearbook Journal (U7Y Journal): A Global Platform for Open Academic Dialogue


Switzerland — 2025.

The Unveiling Seven Continents Yearbook Journal (U7Y Journal) represents a new chapter in open, inclusive, and interdisciplinary research publishing. Operated from Switzerland under ISBM AG, the journal embodies a global vision for scholarly communication — connecting researchers from every continent through transparent, accessible, and high-quality academic exchange.


🌍 A Truly Global Journal

U7Y Journal was founded with the belief that academic knowledge should not be limited by geography, institutional privilege, or financial barriers. Its name — Unveiling Seven Continents — reflects the publication’s mission to bridge the intellectual voices of all regions, including Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania, North and South America, and Antarctica’s research communities.

The journal publishes peer-reviewed works in education, management, technology, sustainability, social sciences, and innovation, emphasizing multidisciplinary approaches and practical implications. Each article undergoes editorial screening and peer review to ensure academic integrity and relevance to contemporary global challenges.


🧭 Commitment to Open Access and Academic Freedom

From its inception, U7Y Journal has aligned itself with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI). All articles are made freely available online under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, allowing unrestricted sharing and reuse with proper author attribution.

This approach ensures that research published in U7Y Journal reaches students, professionals, and policymakers worldwide without any financial or institutional barriers. Authors retain their copyright while contributing to the collective advancement of knowledge.


🕊️ Ethics, Transparency, and Academic Integrity

U7Y Journal’s editorial board adheres to the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines. Every submission is checked for originality and academic ethics through advanced plagiarism detection and peer review management systems.

The journal maintains transparent editorial procedures, including:

  • Publicly available peer review policy and open access statement.

  • Clear editorial board list with institutional affiliations.

  • Explicit licensing and copyright information published on its website.

  • Disclosure of any publication fees or waivers for authors from developing regions.

By combining transparency with inclusivity, U7Y Journal has positioned itself among the new generation of ethical and community-driven academic publishers.
