Insiders and outsiders

摘要

Every week, the South African Journal of Science receives submissions which are clearly not within the scope of the Journal. As our mission statement says, as a multidisciplinary journal, we are interested in ‘publishing high-quality original research from Africa or on Africanrelevant issues’. From an administrative point of view, dealing with these out-of-scope submissions is quite easy, if time-consuming. We can simply inform authors of the scope issue and suggest that they submit elsewhere.
