Call for papers, reviewers and Editorial-Advisory Board members

Every researcher, writer or artist deserves a fair consideration to be 
published. Scientific Journals International (SJI) provides an 
efficient forum for publishing research and creative work from all 
disciplines. SJI has assembled an extensive and prestigious Editorial 
and Advisory Board (www.scientificjournals.org/editorial_board.htm). 

This initiative is driven by an overriding passion to assist 
researchers, writers and artists to cope with the "publish or perish" 
reality that has been created by the policies of the academia and 
funding agencies. According to several surveys, a large majority of 
authors and researchers cite slow review process and publication 
delays in the current system as a major obstacle to their publishing 
objectives.  Many have also expressed concerns about the fairness and 
integrity of the peer review process in traditional scholarly 
publishing. Some scholars have argued that there is a need to liberate 
the publication process for broader and fairer access.

Scientific Journals International (SJI) is the first global initiative 
that intends to accomplish this objective.  We sincerely believe that 
researchers, writers and artists who have devoted months or years to a 
research/creative project, should not be shut out of the publication 
world simply because they did not follow some procedural or stylistic 
rules and guidelines or because their work did not fit in.  All 
traditional journals have very rigid stylistic or procedural policies 
that unduly create artificial barriers and in effect retard innovation 
and creativity.

Scientific Journals International (SJI) maintains minimal procedural 
and stylistic rules, and accepts papers that follow any style manual 
such as APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.  A fair peer-reviewed evaluation 
system is used to select papers for publication. SJI maintains a rapid 
electronic submission, review and publication process.  Additionally, 
we do not set the same limitations on the length of the article as 
other traditional and online journals do. Our capability for perpetual 
future accessibility and preservation is also extremely valuable to 
both authors and readers.
