I feel immensely happy to welcome you all esteemed scholars as a reader to this OA Journal – Life which is an international journal aiming at presenting a framework to explain life. Addressing the root cause and using holistic healing methods along with conventional methods would be the best solution for prevention and management of life style related problems. At a time when the world seems to be at a loss, rejecting past values without being able to establish new ones, we need to provide a means for people to find their own ways of connecting with their true selves. Through this connection with their real selves it is possible for people to enhance harmony in their life. Similarly, an intrapersonal self-transcendence, meaning-in-life, and our healthy and positive interactions are the powerful health-promoting factors that have significant influence on our quality of life. Therefore, pedagogical approaches for advancing our presence and confidence in health-promoting interaction should be upgraded, matured and nurtured. OA Journal – Life would like to focus on these health-promoting positive interactions by sharing research, experience, knowledge and ideas among those with a professional interest in all aspects of life. The journal will be started from the quarterly issue. With the joint efforts of the Editorial team, we will gradually increase the publication period to the monthly issue within 2 years based on the quantity and quality of the manuscripts. Meanwhile, from the first issue of publication, we will strive to be indexed by more than 5 national periodical databases in the first year, more than 2 professional databases in the following 2-3 years; we aim to be indexed by world-recognized databases in 3-5 years, for example, Scopus and International Scientific Indexing (ISI). Similarly, the Editorial team strives to ensure the peer review process to be fair and unbiased and therefore only expert reviewer of the concerned field will be approached to perform the peer review. OA Journal – Life is an emerging journal and to make it become high-end and a world-recognized academic journal with high impact factor is the goal we are striving for. For this reason, I am extremely appreciative of all the editorial board members to help and support the journal in this special period, followed by the estimated date of their submission. I am pleased at the constructive and collaborative manner in which the Editorial Board Members are working. I appreciate those of scholars who help and support us running the Journal. The journal has reached the primary goal of launching it and I hope scholars from all areas of Life related approaches will pay attention and participates enthusiastically, and submit some high quality papers to this Journal. Thank you! Dr. Sham Ganpat Tikhe |
