We are pleased to
announce the creation of the International Association of
Journals and Conferences (http://www.IAJC.org/
). The purpose of this new association is to provide an umbrella
organization for academic journals and conferences in the academic
areas of engineering and technology. The great success of the
IJME-Intertech conference bringing several journals/conferences
together in a joint venue for the publication of scholarly work in
engineering and technology education created excitement in academic
communities around the world and provided the motivation to found
this new organization. The IAJC
intends to serve as the premier multilayered organization for
academic journals, conferences, organizations, and individuals
committed to advancing excellence in all aspects of technology
related education.
There are many conferences held each
year around the world offering authors the opportunity to publish in
conference proceedings. However, today most universities/colleges
require journal publication as the primary metric for faculty
scholarship. Many authors, especially junior faculty, are not
completely familiar with the journal publication process. The excess
timeline associated with traditional journal submission is a barrier
for many faculty members. IAJC will serve in a mentoring role
helping professionals in the field find the right journal for
publishing their research and scholarly work.
IAJC will offer its members, among many
other benefits, a multilayer review process in preparing manuscripts
for journal publication including helping authors in finding the
right journal for timely publication. As we build this new
organization, we seek many dedicated individuals to join us in this
exciting endeavor.
Sincerely,
Mark Rajai
