In another remarkable milestone, SEIPID (Skills' Edge International Persistent Identifier) has successfully reached its initial cap of 250 journal registrations, marking a significant achievement in the platform's evolution. The Acting CEO of Expert Novice Group, announced that SEIPID will halt new journal registrations for the remainder of the year, focusing on system stability, quality control, and long-term sustainability.
Speaking on this accomplishment, Anmol Husain, the Acting CEO of Expert Novice Group and its units, stated,
"Reaching 250 journal registrations in such a short span proves the growing demand for accessible, innovative, and reliable academic publishing solutions. However, to maintain the integrity of the system and ensure a seamless experience for all users, we will not accept any further journal registrations this year."
She further emphasized that the focus will now shift towards ensuring quality assurance, compliance, and long-term operational efficiency.
In an effort to enhance operational efficiency, SEIPID is implementing stricter compliance policies. All registered editors and publishers who have failed to register their journals properly will have their accounts removed. The move comes as part of SEIPID’s commitment to ensuring a high-quality, well-maintained publishing ecosystem.
"It is essential that every registered entity actively participates in maintaining their journals," Anmol Husain remarked.
"Registrations are not just numbers; they come with responsibilities. We will be monitoring compliance closely to ensure that only actively maintained and properly registered journals remain within our system."
While new journal registrations will be paused, the team at SEIPID will be working towards:
Anmol Husain also reassured registered publishers and editors that technical support and guidance will remain available to assist with any concerns during this period of consolidation.
With the limit reached, SEIPID encourages all registered publishers and editors to focus on responsible and ethical publishing. Journals that remain inactive, improperly maintained, or fail to meet compliance standards will be removed, ensuring that the system remains efficient and beneficial for all stakeholders.
"We are in this for the long haul. SEIPID is not just about expansion but about sustainability, efficiency, and impact. We want every journal onboard to contribute meaningfully to the academic community," said Anmol Husain.
SEIPID’s growth within the academic publishing landscape has been phenomenal, and Expert Novice Group remains committed to fostering a more accessible and inclusive research environment. The next phase will focus on ensuring a smooth, structured system where registered journals operate efficiently, maintain their integrity, and continue contributing to global knowledge.
SEIPID will review and reopen new registrations next year based on system performance and user feedback.
For further updates and guidelines, registered users are advised to keep track of official announcements from SEIPID and Expert Novice Group.
A big congratulations to all 250 registered journals, and best wishes for their continued success in advancing academic research!
