Asian Journal of Emerging Research (AJER)

The Asian Journal of Emerging Research (AJER) has an odd title. I mean, what academic fields does it cover, and what is the criterion for "emerging" research as opposed to other (completed?) research? The website does little to define or clarify the scope of the journal. It states that AJER is a "multidisciplinary journal developed with the aim of accelerating the pace of scientific advancement." I guess that narrows it to all of science. But no, AJER has a Facebook page that "welcomes original research submissions from the natural sciences, medical research, engineering, as well as the related social sciences and humanities .. ." Why does the world need another general journal of science (and everything related to it)? Well,

AJER is an outcome of a researcher’s community with the believe that all quality research work needs to be published... .

At this point, I am beginning to worry. Clicking on "Current Issue" and "Archive" under the "Issues" tab has no effect. Maybe AJER is just starting out and has no content yet. That may be why its publication fees are low and there is no submission fee.

No publishing house seems to be behind it. The publishing platform is "AMS Central, a project of the ACFS," whatever that is. The contact information is 2nd Floor, Emirates Tower, M-13, F-7 Markaz, Islamabad, Pakistan +92 333 000 3334 ajer@amscentral.com. No one on the 16-member "editorial team" of academics is from Pakistan. AJER is on LinkedIn, There, it describes its experience as "The ACE College for Women."
