We are also using this medium to inform you that the ACADEMIA JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH is seeking for qualified reviewers as members of her editorial board. We ask you to support this initiative by joining our reviewer?s team.


ACADEMIA JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH is an Open Access Journal

One key request of researchers across the world is unrestricted access to research publications. Open access gives a worldwide audience larger than that of any subscription-based journal and thus increases the visibility and impact of published works. It also enhances indexing, retrieval power and eliminates the need for permissions to reproduce and distribute content. ACADEMIA JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH is fully committed to the Open Access Initiative and will provide free access to all articles as soon as they are published.


Best regards,

Prof. C?t?lin CHI?U

Visiting the website reveals a wealth of ingenious grammatical constructions which I will not detail here. One thing I found interesting in the "Information for Authors" was a lengthy list of examples for citing sources, all of which seem to come from publications in microbiology (?). 

I really liked, however, the following from the "FAQs":


Can you send the invoice for my paper to someone else?
Invoices can be addressed to whomsoever you wish-please address the contact. 

Not surprisingly, Academia Publishers appears on Jeffrey Beall's list of suspect journals.
