Qatar-based QScience.com has announced that QScience Connect, its latest peer-reviewed and open access journal, will cover subjects relating to natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. Authors are also encouraged to submit video and audio articles to the journal. These submissions are reviewed and, as with regular manuscript submissions, can be published if they discover novel and valid research.
Alongside these articles from QScience Connect, QScience.com also offers an online commenting database that is linked to the readers' social media accounts, allowing instant conversation between readers and writers. Readers of the articles can even contribute to different writers' articles by completing an official online evaluation process.
The new service is said to add features to the website, further advancing its scholarly standards. Users of the site can even personalise and add mobile features to their Blackberry, iPhone and Android handsets. With all of its content being freely available, it is believed that these new developments will improve the experience of accessing cutting edge research for both the scientific community and the public at large.
QScience.com already hosts eight scholarly journals covering diverse subject areas such as information & library studies, sustainable energy, education, medicine and bioscience, Middle Eastern healthcare, law, design and Islamic studies. Many other journals are scheduled to be added in 2012.
