"PROCESSING FEE POLICY It is the vision of International Research Journals to support the Open Access initiative. All journals by International Research Journals are published without restriction to the global community. We strongly believe that the open access model will spur researches across the world especially in developing nations as researchers gain unrestricted access to high quality research articles. It is the policy of International Research Journals not to request for grants for its operations as grants sometimes fail forcing the organization to discontinue its operations. Rather we have chosen the model of self sustenance through collecting processing fee for articles published. Authors are required to make payment only after their articles have been accepted. Thus, we resulted to collecting the processing fee once an article has been reviewed and accepted for publication by an editor. Also, most authors receive a partial waiver (usually 70% - 90% - sometimes articles are published free of charge) depending on the country or sponsorship of the author. Waivers account for about 90% of all published articles."

orking with a great team at Amazon, I'm launching a new publishing venture called The Domino Project. I think it fundamentally changes many of the rules of publishing trade non-fiction. Trade publishing (as opposed to textbooks or other non-consumer ventures) has always been about getting masses of people to know about, understand and read your books. The business has been driven by several foundational principles:

"Explore a world of publications by people and publishers alike. Collect, share and publish in a format designed to make your documents look their very best."

"NDTAC has developed a guide titled A Brief Guide for Selecting and Using Pre-Post Assessments for State, agency, and/or facility administrators who provide education for children and youth who are neglected, delinquent, or at risk (N or D). The guide provides basic information about the ideal characteristics of a pre-post test and highlights important features to consider when requesting and evaluating information from test publishers. The guide is intended primarily as a resource for those who are in the process of choosing a new pre-post assessment or who wish to evaluate their current testing procedures. Although few tests will have all the characteristics of an ideal pre-post test, this guide should help administrators select and use an instrument that best meets the needs of their student population."

"It's a national crisis. "Writing to Read: Evidence for How Writing Can Improve Reading," an April 2010 report from Carnegie Corporation of New York (published by the Alliance for Excellent Education), states that the consequences of poor reading and writing skills not only threaten the well-being of individual Americans, but the country as a whole."
