Volume 5/ Issue 1 (March 2024)

 | Post date: 2024/03/31 | 
Dear Esteemed Authors
 
Journal of Higher Education Policy and Leadership Studies 5(1) is now available online at https://johepal.com


We owe this success to our members of the editorial team's commitment to the JHEPALS, the researchers’ novel and innovative works, as well as the reviewers’ meticulous feedback and comments during the double-blind review procedure.



We at the JHEPALS also congratulate our esteemed authors on this success.
 
It needs to be highlighted that It is becoming harder for authors to reach the publication stage in JHEPALS because of the very large number of submissions we have to reject.  
 
JHEPALS has been accepted for inclusion in the Web of Science (Emerging Sources Citation Index) on March 26. It's also a great success and achievement which happened by the collaboration of globally recognized researchers (editorial team, reviewers, authors).


Please share our journal's link with your colleagues, students, and other researchers worldwide through your social networks.
 
Our very best wishes to you all in your future endeavours.


 

Kind regards,
Abbas Abbaspour & Ali Khorsandi Taskoh
