Announcement: Website Migration and New Publishing Model
We are pleased to inform our authors, reviewers, and readers that the website of Synergy: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Studies (SIJMDS) has been successfully transferred to a new hosting platform and upgraded to a new system. The journal is now operating on Open Journal Systems (OJS) 3.5, providing a more modern interface, improved functionality, and a smoother experience for manuscript submission, review, and publication.
As part of this transition, the website has been redesigned with a new look and structure. All journal processes are being refreshed and organized within the new system to enhance accessibility, transparency, and efficiency for the academic community.
Please note that although the editorial information on the system may display 2026 due to the technical setup of the new platform, the journal’s Editor-in-Chief remains Prof. Ishrat Naaz, Professor, School of Education, Galgotias University, who has been serving in this role since June 2024. The editorial leadership of the journal has not changed.
Major Update: Continuous Online Publication Model
We are also delighted to announce an important development in our publishing workflow. Starting today, SIJMDS will follow a Continuous Online Publication Model. Under this model, accepted articles will be published online immediately after completing the editorial, peer review, and production process, rather than waiting for the full issue to be compiled.
This change aims to:
-
Ensure faster dissemination of research
-
Reduce publication waiting time for authors
-
Improve accessibility to newly accepted research
-
Strengthen the journal’s commitment to timely scholarly communication
The journal will continue to maintain its quarterly issue structure (March, June, September, and December) while publishing articles online continuously within each issue.
We appreciate the continued support of our authors, reviewers, editorial board members, and readers as we move forward with this upgraded system and enhanced publication process.
