Subject: [NIgerianWorldForum] Re: [africanworldforum] Commission to regulate journals published by universities
"Once the criteria are developed, universities will be required to submit papers for peer review and approval before they are published in journals."
Freedom of expression and intellectual property issues are about to be trampled upon by the learned ignorant.
They are trying to create procedural bottlenecks to stifle thinking and learning. Another rule of darkness by demons posing as human.
Just like its Nigerian counterpart that excludes Nigerian journals from recognition as "international" and forces Nigerian faculty to publish in international journals in order to merit promotion and tenure, effectively destroying the basis for Nigerian journals to exist at all, let alone grow and improve.
Appropriate interest groups, especially those who care about the future, should easily defeat this rule of darkness in the courts before it begins to create problems. They should then codify it in law that such a demonic thing must never again see the light of day. For its purpose is to turn day into night .
A far more effective thing is to set standards for journals by setting up (by emphasis, discipline, field, sector, and/or by location), a Local Index, National Index, Regional Index, then an African Index, as well as other indices that rate journals in that environment.
Example, if a journal regularly publishes papers that contribute towards solving identified problems and addresses needs in the area (emphasis, discipline, field, sector, location - national, regional and continental -, e.t.c.), that journal will be rated high in that index, in that place. Then, the journal will regulate and enhance its own quality and focus in its own interest, without compromising innovation and stunting creative growth of the human mind.
But these lazy purveyors of darkness will always use a need to expand the creative space, especially in a place that urgently and seriously needs that space (the Black Universe), to create more problems and end up snuffing out human creativity and hope. This is one of the identifying features of pseudo-intellectuals: thinking deep and actually thinking at all is anathema to them because they actually lack intellect.
Ultimately a pathognomonic sign of the expression of the demons of darkness and desolation. A fertile growth medium for demon parasite locusts. Desolation and death are their intended fruits/outcomes.
Human ... know thyself ...
Those who have ears ...
O.E.
