Why Concetta Press Was Founded

Advancement of science is important to improve the quality of life. This involves scholarly research and investigationfollowed by the publishing of studies. However, many impediments and even perils in the current system ofpresenting one’s work in journal article form are evident. Authors, reviewers, and editors often have difficulties largeand small, which all hinder the process of advancing science. Publication fees for journal articles have becomeexorbitant. It is common for fees of US $2000 - $5000 to be charged per article, or even more. Many authors andscientific groups cannot afford this, particularly those working in developing countries. Furthermore, the journaloften is very rigid about exactly where each section of the manuscript should be placed, what is included, the formatto use for the Abstract, text and references, and the different statements and disclaimers needed. The process ofsubmitting a manuscript is often quite complicated, and may take a half a day or more. Many publishing companies,for example, require the corresponding author to fill in information about each and every author on special forms,even though it is already included on the title page. Reviews for the manuscript may be unhelpful, and it can takemany weeks or even months for authors to receive them. Once accepted for publication, proofreaders oftencompletely change the meaning of the paper with their updates. The typesetting process is often abysmal. Typesettersfrequently seem to lack experience with punctuation, scientific symbols, and equations, and they often botch themupon rendering a typeset version, malform the figures, and garble the tables. It may be many months or even closeto a year before the paper is published in final form. Many other difficulties also exist in contacting the editor andin the final appearance of the paper online and in pdf form, as well as the working of links placed in the manuscript.Furthermore, it is often difficult or nearly impossible to login to the website. On countless occasions, the system willsay the password is incorrect, and it is impossible to divine the correct password.
