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 a one-stop efficient forum for publishing research and creative work from all disciplines. Our open access electronic journals will be available free of charge to over 800 million Internet users from around the world. Unlike other online journals we do not limit access through registration or subscription. There is no other journal in the world that aims to have this scope.

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 free the publication process for broader and fairer access.

Scientific Journals International (SJI) is the first global initiative that intends to accomplish this objective. Due to its massive database and electronic archival capacity, SJI will maintain a significantly higher acceptance rate for research papers and creative works. 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 certain 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) will maintain minimal procedural and stylistic rules, and will accept papers that follow any style manual such as APA, MLA, Chicago, etc. A fair peer-reviewed evaluation system will be used to select papers for publication. SJI will maintain 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. Another useful feature of our searchable electronic journals is that readers will be able to search quickly and easily for full-text articles by particular keywords. Our capability for perpetual future accessibility and preservation will also be extremely valuable to both authors and readers.

All accepted and published articles will remain in our databases and archives in perpetuity for worldwide exposure and visibility. Each electronic article will be encoded with html meta-tags which allow for more sophisticated searching techniques. The information which is contained in an article can be intelligently structured for
bibliographic access.
