Starting a New Open Access Journal

'Academic Research Publishing Agency Press' is now expanding its journal collection, and proposals are welcome for new journals in all areas of science, technology, and medicine.

Our Journals are based on 'Open Access' Policy.When 10 articles or 100 pages are completed, an issue of specific journal is published in order to faciliate faster publications speed.The publication costs of an article are covered in the form of Article Processing Charges, which are publication fees paid from the research budget of accepted authors. In this model authors are allowed to retain the copyright of their work, which is released under a “Creative Commons Attribution License,” enabling the unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of an article in any medium, provided that the original work is properly cited.

In order to facilitate the Editor-in-Chief's job of overseeing the editorial process, our in-house Editorial Department provides our Editors-in-Chief with all the assistance they may need. Our staff will follow up with editors and referees, notify authors, track down missing material, etc. Our Editors-in-Chief are responsible mainly for the tasks that require their scientific expertise, such as assigning Associate Editors for submitted papers, giving their decisions whether to accept or reject papers for publication based on the Associate Editors' recommendations they receive, and reviewing proposals for Special Issues.

What to include in a new journal proposal
