The American Academy Journals (AAJ) were launched in early 2021 as a combination of 7 academic gold open access journals. These journals form together one of largest academic peer-reviewed open access journals. Each journal is a rigorously peer-reviewed scholarly publication that seeks manuscripts on leading topics across a variety of disciplines. With an international scope, AAJ serve as a forum for researchers, practitioners, and policymakers. It is our goal to be an effective educational and dissemination tool for researchers and other scholars, practitioners, and students.
Each one of the American Academy Journals publishes original and valuable research quarterly, and publications are delivered electronically. There is no paper copy. The entire process from submission, review, revision, final proof, to publication is electronic.
The AAJ seek to bring the academic community together in order to publish the most recent research findings at an accelerated pace while still upholding the integrity of research. Using an expedited, ethical, and quality-centric approach to the double-blind peer review process, articles that are accepted for publication within this journal are immediately accessible online, often in as little as 14 days. This allows for the rapid widespread dissemination of essential research findings that can spur further advancements for academic and practice. All manuscripts are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) International License where the copyright for the work remains solely with the author(s) of the article manuscript and the published research is immediately and freely accessible to all researchers around the world. The purpose of this journal is to widely disseminate the rapid achievements that are being made each day in an effort to keep the research community apprised of the latest developments in their respective fields, as well as to further their studies.
One of the many reasons I am proudly serving as the Editor in Chief of the American Academy Journals is the fact that despite being established in the United States, each journal of the AAJ family embraces research from around the world. My international academic experience, from teaching at higher education institutes in multiple countries to presenting lectures at international conferences, all allowed me to interact with scholars from around the globe, and this helped me develop an understanding of how valuable it is for international scholars to get their research recognized by American academic outlets. I am always overjoyed by the passion and excitement I see in scholars when conducting research. This passion should not be limited by gatekeepers or geographic boundaries but rather must be empowered however possible to make scholar research accessible to everyone. Therefore, the AAJ were established with the aim and scope of serving as an outlet for all academics who share the same passion of academic research as we do. The AAJ family strives to become a beacon of knowledge that embraces diverse scholarship and serves consistently to fulfil your academic aspirations.
Sincerely,
Dr. Bahae Samhan
