Dear all, We are doing our best to serve our community and towards this direction International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems (http://www.idea-group.com/journals/details.asp?id=4625 ) is a unique publication outlet. We just finished the publication of the third issue and we are putting all of our efforts for finalizing IJSWIS Vol. 1 Issue 4. We choozed the tough way: To deliver a HIGH QUALITY Journal which means many hours of reviewing, many academics involvent in constructive reviews (but in fast tracks), and in parallel a continuous run to meet the deadlines of publication. You are great supporters of this effort and believe me this is the motivating factor for all of our actions. Our Editor in Chief, Prof. Amit Sheth, and our editorial board is working very hard towards the highest possible quality of the published articles and an intensive review contributes contrsuctive comments to authors. If you allow me a personal comment I would say that I am really proud for what we did this year: We start from scratch a brand new journal and given all the constraints we are doing extremely well. The subscription rate is very low (http://www.idea-group.com/recommend.asp?ID=4625), an electronic system is supporting the electronic delivery of articles (http://www.idea-group.com/journals/toc.asp?ID=4625&volume=Vol%2E+1%2C+No%2E +1) while a new portal is designed for IJSWIS. I would kindly ask your help to the promotion of our Journal to your teams and colleagues and to ask you considering submitting one of your best papers for consideration. It is critical, if you plan to send a paper in IJSWIS to provide me through mail a short article, including Title, Abstract and an executive summary before the submission in order help you in understanding IJSWIS unique publication strategy and give you constructive guidelines and comments. In the meanwhile we arranged our Journal to be listed in various citation indexes as well as DBLP, http://www.informatik.uni-trier.de/~ley/db/journals/ijswis/index.html . An other key milestone for us is to put IJSWIS in JCR index. I am sure that this objective will be achieved shortly. I would like to say a GREAT THANK you for your continous support and please feel free to contact me/us for any reason that we could be of value for you. International Journal on Semantic Web and Information Systems is not one more journal. It is OUR Journal because its value is build upon your continous encouragment and engagement. We are looking forward for your best papers! Let us open together the Semantic Web to the WORLD, towards a better Humanity. I am convinced that we can do it TOGETHER. I am looking forward for your comments and suggestions. Kindest Regards Miltiadis D.
