Further Development

In the year 2021, the Journal of Disaster Research (JDR) had two memorable events: Professor MURAKAMI Suminao, one of the founders of the Journal, resigned as the editor-in-chief, and in February the JDR marked its hundredth issue, counting from Vol.1 No.1. These events gave us, the next generation of the editorial board members, the resolve to reinvent the JDR for its leap forward into the next stage. We have accomplished the following two projects this year. Establishment of MURAKAMI Suminao Award for Disaster Research and the JDR annual awards To acknowledge Professor MURAKAMI’s significant contributions to the JDR and disaster research in general, we rename the JDR Award to the MURAKAMI Suminao Award for Disaster Research. While we present this award to the person who has made the most significant contribution to disaster research as a whole, we hereby establish three more specific JDR annual awards: the JDR Award for the Most Cited Paper, the JDR Award for the Most Downloaded Article, and the JDR Award for the Most Contributory Reviewer. Applying the Creative Commons license The JDR introduced the Creative Commons license in August 2021, thereby becoming a fully open-access journal conforming to the international standard. This project makes all articles in the JDR easier to reuse and cite in academic activities. Now the JDR is widely known not only in Japan but also all across Asia, and its readership is spreading through North America and Europe. We will continue to strive for the further development of the JDR as an international journal dedicated to comprehensive disaster research.

Publishing Practices

The story of the journal "Precision Nanomedicine" started back in December 2015 when the contract of the Editor-in-chief of "Nanomedicine: Nanotechnology, Biology, and Medicine" was not renewed by Elsevier without any justification. While it was fully within the legal rights of the publisher to make that decision, they failed to consult with the NNBM editorial board. Elsevier also rejected a collective letter signed by 74 board members and editors requesting the reversal of the decision and served up the usual excuses. This was not the first instance of a publisher acting without the input of an editorial board or completely disregarding sicentists' opinion [1] [2], [3], and the reaction was also similar. In 2015, almost all associate editors and more than 60 editorial board members of the journal Lingua resigned in protest [3]. Similar to the mutiny by Lingua's editors, we also set out to launch our own open-access journal[2] to promote all progressive and rational aspects of nanomedicine including theory and practice while exercising good publishing practices (for a deeper analysis of the present state of scholarly publishing see the opinion paper in this issue).

Since the publication of the first issue of Mongolian Geoscientist, in October 1996, 25 years have passed and the journal has successfully evolved over a quarter of a century into a periodical publication well-known also outside the borders of Mongolia. Background and episodes of early publications were reviewed by Y.Takahashi, N.Ichinnorov, and S.Jargalan, who were members of the JICA-IGMR project. The present status of Mongolian Geoscientist is that of an internationally peer-reviewed, open-access journal, published by the School of Geology and Mining Engineering, Mongolian University of Science and Technology, with support from the Geological Society of Mongolia; managed by Editor-in-Chief B.Batkhishig, Consultant Editorial Board member O.Gerel, and Associate Editors B.Munkhtsengel, B.Altanzul, and Kh.Tseedulam.

Dear Readers, Authors, Reviewers, and Editorial Board Members, Thank you very much for your continuing support. 2021 was an excellent year for our journal, and there were published 120 research and review papers, meaning 1226 pages divided into 4 issues. Due to the extraordinary efforts of all of you, the entire Volume 10, 2021, was published in advance, and in the mid of 2021, we were able to start Volume 11, 2022. We managed to maintain the publication standards and the number of published articles per issue.

In light of the above mentioned, the aim for 2022 is to increase the publication standards more and more to obtain the indexation in the leading international databases.
