Current era is known as the era of interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary sciences where necessity to integrate all emerging technologies such as information technology, education technology, biotechnology, nano-technology, psycho-technology etc has been demanded.
Especially with the rise of internet users all over the world, development in information and communication technologies (ICT) and easily available scientific content has forced the world to think differently and logically. Scientific e-journals are the key players to keep the society fully aware about the scientific breakthroughs and innovations where they can find solutions of their daily issues in developed manner.
On the other side, credibility of scientific e-journals is the major issue to be discussed and solved as people trust only the knowledge published in a highly reputable journal and annual ranking of scientific journals could be know as of vital significance in providing scientific information to the people. Reputable journals being published by any country describe the scientific viability of locally produced or managed knowledge and currently there are only two reliable journal ranking systems i.e. 1. JCR by Thomsan Reuters, 2. SJR by SciMago.
According to the data being published by Thomsan Reuters and SciMago (Scopus) in 2018, there are only 41 / 171 journals indexed in Thomsan Reuters / Scopus from Iran, 12 / 103 from Pakistan and 52 / 204 from turkey, respectively. The highest impact factor in these countries is maximum 2 whereas highest impact factor in USA is 285 (CA-Cancer Journal). This data indicates the non-professionalism in the scientific journals management and a market of 500,000+ academic e-journals from developing world are looking for a cost effective professional journal management system.
This low credibility of academic journals is because management of a journal requires need 3-5 experts, one office and many international subscriptions like DOI, CrossRef etc which is minimum 10,000 USD / year or a journal director has to pay about 15,000 USD to a well-known publishing system to manage their journal which is much high amount for a journal from developing world.
IMAQPRESS is providing state-of-the-art management system for academic e-journals with the aim of global visibility and improved citations. IMAQPRESS provide its services into three phases, pre-publishing, publishing and post-publishing phase. Our system analyze the scientific contents before publishing as what is going to be published? Why this should be published?
How it should be published? And how it can reach to the broader audience? A highly innovative and unique journal management system is being offered at only 1000 USD / year / journal which is 1/10 of the amount being quoted by the international companies for lesser services being offered by IMAQPRESS.
