ARC's website includes such remarks as "We vow for a quality peer review process"; "an ideal house of publications that accepts and promotes a creative research"; "a vehicle of research and education between the modern youth and the experienced, competent and qualified professionals through their intellectual awakening. It invites better than the best in all branches of knowledge" and "strives to become a fillip between the upcoming professionals, entrepreneurs, managers, administrators, scientists, technocrats, engineers etc."

(ISO 9001:2008 is a quality management standard for businesses that has been superseded by ISO 90001:2015).

According to the email, these "dexterous Editorial Board members" will get my manuscript published in ten days from submission.
