About the Publisher

Spectrum Scholarly Press is an independent academic publisher committed to advancing open-access knowledge dissemination across scientific and scholarly disciplines. The press was established in response to the growing global need for high-quality, ethically governed, open-access journals that serve researchers in emerging economies as much as they serve those in established academic centres.

Spectrum Scholarly Press publishes peer-reviewed journals in the fields of health sciences, education, sports and physical activity, social sciences, and applied sciences. All journals under the press are governed by the highest publication ethics standards, in accordance with COPE guidelines, DOAJ criteria, and the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).
