Dr. Christo Ackermann, University of Johannesburg, South Africa: My experience was great since inception. I got quick acknowledgment of receipt of paper‎ in the journal of Governance and Regulation and was amazed by the three week turn around time. The report was detailed explaining why a specific article is good and suitable for publication, this was readily available. We are given an opportunity before publication to review the paper once more and I really appreciated this as it provides one more quality check from the authors perspective. I will definitely submit future articles for consideration for publication.
Dr. Rigard J Steenkamp, Professor, Department of Operations
Management, Unisa, South Africa: Thank you for personalizing the communication to contributors of your journals, journal of Governance and Regulation, and Corporate Ownership and Control. It is my experience that your journals are known for transparency in terms of review lead time and publish ability. Some journals may take months to acknowledge submissions and providing feedback to authors. Contributors do appreciate your style in terms of the editorial team summary of the reviewer’s report, the date of writing the reviewer’s report, stating the applicable journal and providing summarized notes of the reviewer and/or editor. This is positive because some institutions demand this if articles qualify for government subsidy. I therefore want to conclude by thanking you for your cooperation, clear and prompt communication with contributors and especially your responsiveness. This dimension of your service quality can be regarded as a strategic performance objective of your business. The availability of the reviewers’ report(s) is another distinct competency.
Dr. Zeleke Worku, Professor, Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) Business School, South Africa: I am sending you this letter appreciation in order to express my sincere appreciation on the quality of professional services that you have provided to students and academic staff of Tshwane University of Technology (TUT) Business School in Pretoria, South Africa. We wish to thank for taking the time to complete the scientific and editorial review of research manuscripts that were submitted to the following journals on the IBSS list: Corporate Ownership and Control Journal; Corporate Board: Role, Duties and Composition Journal; Risk Governance and Control: Financial Markets and Institutions Journal; Journal of Governance and Regulation. Please keep up the good work that you have done in the past. Mr. Solomon Khale, one of my DTech students at TUT Business School, has benefited significantly from your professional leadership and mentorship in the course of working on the valuable comments and inputs that you have given him. We value and appreciate your scholarly inputs, intellectual leadership, scientific insights and technical suggestions. We will be looking forward to working with you in the year 2016.
Dr. Rebecca Tladinyane, University of South Africa, South Africa: "I want to express my greatest gratitude and pleasure working with the Journal of Governance and Regulation. You really made the journey of publishing in an accredited Journal to be very manageable. Your prompt response to the emails made it easier to liaise with. The peer review report by the reviewers was of high quality and efficiency in which my paper was reviewed and published very incomparable."
Dr. Patricia Crifo, University Paris Ouest Nanterre La Défense - Economix, Ecole Polytechnique and CIRANO Ecole Polytechnique Department of Economics, France: "To give you some small feedback concerning my cooperation with your journal, I found that the communication with the editorial team of the journal was very good (efficient in time and response), the responsiveness of the editorial team was optimal (responses received within 48h at most), and the reviewing process very fast and efficient."
Dr. Tamer A. El Nashar, The American University in Cairo, Egypt: "It was my pleasure to cooperate with your journal for publishing two papers. I found the communication with the editorial team of the journal is very effective , which was clear in the rich feed back for my inquires. The responsive of the editorial team is more than perfect as none of the feed back came late more than few hours. The reviewing process has a value added to improve my papers and learning for further opportunities. The Website of the journals and your overall institute is very fruitfull to help guide and add to the fields of studies. Analysing a sample of papers published by your website gave me a cornerstone for future papers whether empirically or narratively. Thanks and looking forward for future cooperation."
Dr. Sankarshan Acharya, Director, Research Center on Finance and Governance, India & University of Illinois at Chicago (http://www.pro-prosperity.com/About.html): "The very foundation of the Journal of Governance and Regulation is seminal, peerless and paramount to attain the unanimously agreeable and universally desired individual freedom. JGR has uniquely fostered independent scholarly research - not funded by vested interests - which rationally challenges the academically pervasive dogmatic presumption of other established journals that rules of law ordained by democratically elected leaders are holy cows which should not be discoursed or published. JGR has published my papers on unanimously agreeable rules of governance - which are profoundly necessary and sufficient for unanimously longed individual freedom - that other established academic journals have refused to even review. It seems the other established academic journals do not care for individual freedom. This seems ironical because individual freedom is vital for enterprise and perseverance necessary for creation of wealth needed to fund these journals. But it is not surprising because these journals are funded by systemically robbed wealth. By returning papers on unanimously agreeable rules of governance without review, these journals show deep anxiety about a sudden stop to systemic robbery and their funding with propagation of the unanimously rules of governance which singularly
dismantle even surreptitious robbery. This is why JGR will shine as a leader in publication of unanimously agreeable and universally longed rules of governance."
Rui P. N. Santos, author of “The Dynamics of Deflation in a Growing Economy”: "My interaction with the journal was very easy - editor and general staff were always very solicitous and with rapid answers. A very clear deadline was established for the subimission of the paper in case this were to be published in the next issue and a average reviewing time period was also indicated at the beggining. The review by the editor happened to be timely (although I think the editor had a first contact with the paper though an early version in SSRN) and it came with a report indicating a clear and objective suggestion for improvement in a part of the paper. As soon as the change was made and the paper was definitley accepted for publication I was sent a formal letter of acceptance by the Journal saying that the paper were to be published in the current year. In general I can say there was an excellent cooperation with the Journal of Governance and Regulation."
Dr. Andrea Lippi, Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, Milan, Italy: "The journal is characterized by a streamlined editorial structure that allows easy communication with the editor. Rapid decision-making is a very important element. The submission fee is adequate."
Ryan Jacildo, Asian Development Bank, of Ms. Niny Khor and Ms. Ruth Tacneng, School of Economics and Management, Universidade Catolica Portuguesa, Portugal): "We would like to express our gratitude to the editorial staff of the Journal of Governance and Regulation. The editorial staff of JGR coordinated the review proceedings efficiently. The comments were precise and reasonable. The correspondence was personalized, which we appreciate. The review process itself and the turnaround time after we responded to the comments were relatively swift. It was a good experience working with Virtus Interpress."
Dr. Sven Larson, Economist and Public Policy Researcher with Hill City Skunkworks, The USA: "The Journal of Governance and Regulation is a well-run, quality-driven journal. It covers important topics outside of the traditional academic disciplines. There is a high need for this type of journals, since modern academic research is mostly problem oriented and topic driven. The journal management is professional and very good at interacting with authors. I was especially impressed with the peer-review process, which was detail-oriented and informative. Definitely helped me improve my paper. If you have a paper that falls within their field, I do recommend you submit it to them."
Nesrin Benhayoun, Abdelmalek Essaadi University, Morocco; James Fogal, Notre Dame de Namur University, USA: “I was, indeed, very lucky to publish with the distinguished accredited Journal of Governance and Regulation. The kindness of the team members of Virtus Interpress has made the reviewing/publishing process fluid, very manageable and highly professional. The reactivity and the efficiency of the Journal editorial process were proved and too appreciated by both of us: co-authors Prof. James Fogal, Notre Dame de Namur University, USA and I) Actually, I am looking forward to submitting future papers to Virtus Interpress. Warm wishes for more success!"
Dana Eshimova, Deputy Chairperson of the Board, Kazakhstan Public-Private Partnership: "I wish to share my experience of communicating with the Journal of Governance and Regulation. From that perspective, I am pleased to note its excellent submission process, friendly communication, expeditious replies and adequacy of review processing. In my view, the Journal indeed projects new and user friendly editorial values. Moreover, it cultivates an understanding of what its reader has long cherished to see about the journal. And, in that sense, the Journal of Governance and Regulation fully meets the requirements of one of this high caliber.
Moreover, the articles posted by the Journal capture beautifully the sentiments of a reader who may wish to be tuned to discover new interests, learn about science-driven facts that may occur far beyond the reader’s habitually comfort zones of attention. In that sense, the Journal helps essentially widen the scope of the peripheral vision of a reader to catch site of a much wider, global story, and get interested in the topic that one becomes passionate about. In my observations, the principles that govern the smooth functioning of the Journal are tailored to primarily meet a reader’s requirements: every subscriber gets the same rundown of the most important information posted on the front page: a sense of inclusive, shared experience guides the layout. That, in many ways, is the unique essence of the Journal. We are proud of the experience of reading the Journal, all with input and appreciation from its readers. With that, we commend on its performance."
Dr. Alicja Brodzka, Department of Finance, Wrocław University of Economics, Poland: “It was a pleasure to cooperate with the Journal of Governance and Regulation. Fast and reliable procedures have made the entire publishing process really effective. Valuable reviews have further improved the quality of submitted paper. But what I would like to emphasize the most, is the great contact with the editor of the Journal. Excellent responsiveness, clear feedback process, even final tips suggesting the ways of promoting the paper in order to gain maximum citations - every item deserves the recognition. Thank you very much for your cooperation!”
Dr. Magdi El-Bannany, University of Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates and Ain Shames University in Egypt: "The concept of the Journal is covering a wide range of interesting topics which guided me to be focused in writing my research paper. The submission process is clear and the constructive feedback I received from the reviewers helped me to improve the quality of the paper. Based on this good experience with the Journal of Governance and Regulation, I am intending to continue my research work with the Journal. "
Dr. Yudha Aryo Sudibyo, Faculty of Economics & Business, Jenderal Soedirman University, Indonesia: “My articles have been published in this publisher several times, and the editorial team worked quickly and very responsive.

I really appreciate the completeness of reviewing process and reports related to language and the paper contents.”

Dr. Samithamby Senthilnathan, International Training Institute, Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea: “It is our great pleasure to experience our paper-publication in the Journal of Governance and Regulation.

The feedback on the papers submitted was specific and clear, and the authors were allowed to confirm the paper-publication to meet their expectations. It is a great opportunity for the authors to act with confidence to bring the paper published from their perspective. All these must be highly valued and appreciated.

After submission of my article, I was astonished how quickly I received an email from the Managing Editor of the journal who informed me that at their end they received the article and started the evaluation process blindly without any sort of prejudice and unbiased manner. I waited for the blind reviewers’ comments. Within 6/7 weeks, I received the reviewers’ report. I worked on the report as per their guidelines. After finishing the revised article, I was a little bit nervous whether again it will take a lengthy process. With my greater satisfaction, I received within 15 days’ time what I should do more in the process of rectifying the article to publish. And when I finished the modifications, I was so happy that the Managing Editor of the journal works like a speed of an E = MC² (where e = energy, m = mass, c2 = the speed of light squared).

However, what I experienced with JGR was absolutely different from the roller-coaster which I went through while trying to publish with other journal platforms. I was very impressed with the level of JGR’s professionalism and perfectionism when it comes to communication, review process as well as the review feedback. I can say without any hesitation that JGR is very strict, which I am 100% comfortable with – as JGR cannot be expected to accept any low-level quality paper or article referred to it by authors who are just taking chances. I was also very impressed with the qualitative, accurate and consistent communication which the Managing Editor of JGR displayed and practiced throughout our engagement. This kind of communication kept me fully informed with each and every step of the publication process. At no point whatsoever, have I felt kept in the dark with regard to the steps leading to the publication of my paper. Finally, the review process was really amazing, as it was on time and never delayed like is the general practice in other journal platforms. The content of the Reviewer’s Report was very educative, empowering and honest. It has also taught me a lot with regard to what JGR expects from any of its authors.
