As a worldwide high-quality peer-reviewed eJournal, WaA offers the following advantages: - Full and free access to articles, ensuring worldwide outreach and intellectual multiplier effect. - Reduced time interval between acceptance of articles and their publication online: WaA will propose new articles three times per year, time lag between approval of articles and publication will not exceed 4 months. In addition, articles will be made available as soon as they reach the final stage of production to registered users, who may access articles (preview).

Authors with English as a second language may choose to have their manuscripts professionally edited before submission to improve the English, as papers with poor expression will not be accepted."
