[GOAL] Re: Hindawi grows to more than 5,000 submissions in March

[Ahmed Hindawi]

All of the journals published by Hindawi are supported by APCs.
However, some of the journals might have zero APCs for limited time
periods. The current APCs of the ISRN journals can be seen at
http://www.isrn.com/apc/. There is a similar page at
http://www.hindawi.com/apc/.

"In addition to the strong growth of our more well-established journals, several of which are expected to receive upwards of 1,000 submissions this year, we are happy to see that many of the newer journals that we launched over the past few years have already built incredible momentum and are on track to becoming leading journals within their respective fields."

"As the coverage of our journals within PubMed, the Web of Science, Scopus, and a number of subject specific databases has grown over the past year, we have seen a very positive reaction from our authorship.

The first of these platforms was the ISRN series (http://www.isrn.com/), which launched in mid-2010 with the aim of providing  a fast-track review process for all submitted manuscripts, and by March of 2012 the ISRN series accounted for 20% of Hindawi's total submissions. More recently Hindawi has launched two new platforms including Datasets International (http://www.datasets.com/), which focuses on the publication of Dataset Papers as well as the underlying datasets that they describe, and Conference Papers in Science (http://www.cpis.com/), which publishes peer-reviewed manuscripts that arise from conference presentations and workshops. While it is still too early to evaluate the success of these new initiatives, Hindawi is hopeful that these!
