From the Editors

Abstract

We embarked on a journey nearly eight years ago in fall 2015 at a time predatory journals were slowly littering the academic landscape. Between the predatory journals publishing nearly anything for which authors were willing to pay their hefty publication fees and conditional open-access journals charging exorbitant fees to authors to make an article open-access, relatively fewer journals follow a fully open-access and no-fee policy. Because of this rare quality, DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) listed NETSOL in its coveted Diamond Journals list.
