  1. All current acedamic Journals are oredatory and for profit. The mentioned Juornal gives platform to International Scholar to share their ideas and discuss issues of important. Please discuss article published by the mentioned Journal, not the publisher....

  2. Given your obviously strong command of the English language, I think we can safely assume YOU are the publisher of this journal. This publisher is obviously in it for the money - charging authors to publish! Not normal, not how most "acedamic" journals operate.
