Editorial The International Scope of Webology
Journal Title: Webology - Year 2007, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Since August 2004, the number of manuscripts submitted to Webology, an international open access journal, has increased. However, about 50 percent of the submitted manuscripts have been rejected by referees. This is one of the reasons why the number of papers published by Webology is 4 to 6 papers per issue. Even when a manuscript is rejected, the authors are sent detailed reviews and suggestions for improvement of their papers. Occasionally, the manuscripts rejected by our reviewers are published in other journals. In such cases, our review process has contributed to the quality of publication elsewhere. With the help of its authors, referees and, of course, its readers Webology will continue to be one of the main journals in the field of Webology (Web Science) and webrelated studies.
