Message from the Editor in Chief
We take up a responsibility for the academic society
Nowadays,
journals often require expensive page charges/open-access fees to
publish scientific research articles. Is it possible there are quality
assured, peer-reviewed and open-access SCI scientific journals, in
which colleagues can publish their research without these hefty fees?
We, the Biodiversity Research Center, Academia Sinica, Taiwan, have
taken up this responsibility. We publish a journal entitled Zoological Studies, to provide a free SCI open-access publication platform for colleagues to share their research achievements.
Publishing articles free of page charges does not mean that articles in Zoological Studies
lack quality. All accepted articles have passed a formal review system.
Impact factors are often used to judge the quality of a journal.
However, article citations can be also affected by the marketing
methods used in journals published by commercial publishers. We expect
to maintain a respectable impact factor for Zoological Studies.
All articles are 1) formally assigned a DOI number and are open-access
on the web, 2) listed and housed in PubMed database and 3) promoted in
our twitter and facebook accounts. We are not under the umbrella of any
commercial publisher. All the editors and reviewers are volunteers. We
hope you can support us by submitting your quality research to
Zoological Studies, and subsequently upload your published articles in
Research Gate to enhance citations as well.
Prof. Benny K.K. Chan
