I hope this message finds you well! IGI Global, together with Prof. Marta Catillo, the Editor(s)-in-Chief of the International Journal of Open Source Software and Processes (IJOSSP), indexed in INSPEC, SCOPUS, and other indices, recognize your substantial contributions to the field and we are pleased to cordially invite you to submit a research article to this journal for publication consideration.
The full call for papers and desired topics for the journal can be viewed here and you can submit your article manuscript for consideration directly here.
IJOSSP is a full gold open access (OA) publication and as such all of its published research is fully accessible to the research community without any paywalls, barriers, or restrictions of any kind. This creates tremendous opportunities for authors to benefit from increased visibility and citation impact for their work as OA papers are 2-3 times more likely to be read than non-OA papers, and download rates are generally 89% higher, significantly increasing citations and indexing potential. Additionally, the copyright of the published work is retained by the article authors so they are able to reprint, reuse, etc. the work however they like. Also, articles are published rapidly, in some cases moving from submission to publication in as little as 30-60 days, while benefiting from a robust review process.
In order to offset the costs of all of the activities associated with the OA publication of article manuscripts, including the digital tools used to support the management and review process, the typesetting, formatting and layout, online hosting, the submission of the journal’s content to numerous abstracts, directories, and indexes, third-party software, editorial support which includes communications and submission guideline checks, all promotional support and activities, and the fact that all published articles will be freely accessible and able to be posted and disseminated widely by the authors, there is a small article processing charge (APC) requested to be paid by the authors only if their work is accepted following the completion of the double-blind peer review process.
In an effort to ensure that OA publication is affordable to all of our authors, IGI Global provides OA resources:
IGI Global publishes nearly 200 fully OA journals. Should your current research endeavors not align with this journal, certainly there are others that might be more suitable. Please view all IGI Global calls for papers here.
Thank you very much for your consideration of this invitation. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact openaccessadmin@igi-global.com.
Kindest regards,
