Comment on Report Details Predatory Practices of Two Bosnian Journals by Prof.dr Mensura Kudumovic

I am shocked.
GENOCIDE ……
happened in my country and we are still battling with some kind of a “cold war”.
We are constantly suffering by constant attacks from the region on our values: economic, cultural, educational, scientific etc. and this impacting our success in the field of scientific publishing.
While Bosnia and Herzegovina has only 3 journals covered by SCIE, the countries from the region like Serbia, has significantly more. The question is HOW is that possible? My country is not united yet, it is still destroyed, wounded and fragmented. United States and Europe are helping us to integrate country, develop institutions and heal. Many countries and organizations are helping us to recover and develop education, science because our country has no budget for scientific infrastructure.
Some organizations and individuals from abroad helped us to establish scientific infrastructure and journals. We need knowledge, democracy, justice, multi-culture and support.
Every day we are investing efforts to improve quality of our journal. This way we are directly encouraging and helping development of scientific research studies, especially for the young people from the region. We are also indirectly helping and impacting usage of databases of scientific journals, as well as journals and studies that have been cited, which is constantly increasing Impact factor.
I need to mention that as a minority as only one/first WOMAN/BOSNAK/EDITOR in the World, I have been discriminated on many occasions.
