In this issue of the journal I continue my quest to bring our readers research representing a variety of different disciplines as the title of our journal so clearly suggests. Additionally, I am committed to having this research represent the works of scholars from around the globe, often with different points of view. In this way, our readers, no matter where they are located, are exposed to academic viewpoints that are absent from the traditional journals within their geographic region. 

Journals published within a specific country are wont to reflect a limited way of approaching a subject. Take, for example, the differences between European and American psychology. Psychology journals within the United States uphold the teachings of the American Psychological Association and, for the most part, eschew European psychologists with their differing ways of viewing psychological behavior. The same may be said for disciplines of sociology, criminology, philosophy, and political science that are contained within the title of our journal.  Suffice to say, our goal is to give our readership new ways of approaching a body of knowledge. 

With our articles penned by global scholars, our readers will be better able to navigate research questions posed by their areas of interest no matter where they reside. In this way, our journal truly contributes to advancing scholarly research devoid of tendencies that smack of academic ethnocentrism.  The end result of this intended exposure to new ways of thinking can result in solutions that better contribute to a field of knowledge, and, more importantly, the betterment of mankind. The latter is often not a major concern of many traditional academic journals. Results of Scholarly Works  endeavors to present research that not only has scholarly worth but practical application that can translate in public policy. 

I now invite you to peruse our latest issue of the journal to encounter the work of our diverse group of academics. As always, Results of Scholarly Works brings you cutting-edge research and dynamic opinion that illuminates and educates our readers. Until our next issue, we remain academically yours,
