I am happy to introduce issue 16 and to convey best wishes from the AJFAND Secretariat.  Our processing of manuscripts has now been harmonized and thus we are able to publish much more efficiently.

All the same, if you are an author and have not heard from us in a while, please do not hesitate to contact us.  Also remember, the Abstract must be between 300 to 400 words, key words only 5 and the rest, just look at the format of published manuscripts on the website.

We thank our reviewers, partners and financial supporters.  Remember, we are Open Access and do not charge to publish manuscripts.  Any help you come across and can bring our way will be highly appreciated.
