EDUCOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY JOURNAL

The “Educor Multidisciplinary Journal (EMJ)” is an academic journal that encourages and embraces research from all disciplines.

Editorial Policy

Research and the development of fledgling academic researchers in higher education is of major importance within the ambit of regulatory and academic requirements. It is also an academic developmental imperative. The EMJ is a blind peer-reviewed multidisciplinary academic journal that draws from various disciplines to gain a broad understanding, a well-developed perspective, or to discover something new. It brings diverse academic disciplines together to discuss and view issues from each of their perspectives. The journal is the official academic journal of the Educor group of companies and is published annually. Due to the variety and scope of academic offerings in the Educor group, the journal is generalist in nature as the focus is multidisciplinary.

Development Programmes

The EMJ provides a platform for fledgling as well as established researchers and academics to publish and share their research expositions. As such it is a developmental academic journal that falls in the ambit of the Educor academic developmental and training strategy.

The following kinds of research is welcomed by the Editorial Board of the EMJ:

Empirical research
Conceptual research
Case studies

Journal Content

The journal provides open access to its content, at no cost or prior registration online. We promote the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. In the same vein, the submission, revision and publishing of texts is also free of charge to the authors.

It is noted that the expressed opinions, accuracy of facts, and interpretations published in the EMJ are those of the authors and do not necessarily represent the views of the Educor group.
