Perks Of Peer Reviewed Open Access Journals

By Jose Anderson


As a publisher, you do not have any choice but to go with the times as well. So, consider making these open access journals. In that way, you can have all the benefits that shall be given below. However, it is important for you to be aware of its flaws at the same time. Become a wise professional.

This set up is free for all. Peer reviewed open access journals can bring you closer to people from different walks of life. Therefore, begin writing topics that everybody can relate to. Get out of your comfort zone and be open enough to consider the suggestions of the people reading your work.

If you placed a draft out there, this is not considered as a crime. So, simply use this platform as your training ground for new writers. Since everybody is free to comment on what has been published in there, you need to learn how to take in the good with the bad. That is a sign that one has already grown mature as a professional.

Consider this as charity work. You will not be gaining any money from it but the insights of other people can really be priceless. Sometimes, being an accomplished publisher can blind you from the perspectives of other people. Thus, decide to put yourself out there and gain more learnings to share to your employees.

You may still have to pay for minor publication fees but this is simply a small amount in exchange of your road to stardom. Learn to make sacrifices for your career and focus on the constructive comments which you can get from all kinds of people who can truly have insightful perspective to share.

Anyone who is online can read what you have published. That means that you can market it on the same platform as well. What is important is that you have the time to be active on all social media websites. Share a direct link to your articles and do not ashamed to write a little bit of preview about it.

Allow the citations to be unfiltered as they can be. Your writers will never learn unless you allow them to read all kinds of criticisms. Besides, their editors will be there to justify whether these comments mean something or not.

You would see the need to publish more articles but this is not a bad thing at all. This can be your motivation to become more productive while maintaining the quality of your journal. What is important is that you are in this project for the long run and you are not giving up on learning.

Lastly, you could use other journals to improve your own. That is just the way it is. At the end of the day, people could not care less which is right or wrong. What is essential is that they have learned something valuable from your work and you have been helpful to them.
