  • Dear Esteemed Readers and Contributors,

    I hope this message finds you well. As the Chief Editor of JJMLL, I want to take a moment to update you on some important developments regarding submissions to our journal.

    Due to an unprecedented volume of current submissions, we have made the decision to temporarily halt new submissions until January 1, 2025. This pause will allow us to thoroughly review and process the existing manuscripts, ensuring that we maintain the high standards of quality and integrity that our readers and authors expect. In the meantime, I encourage you to explore the Table of Contents of our latest issues available on our website. This is a wonderful opportunity to engage with the myriad of articles and items of interest that have recently been published.

    We also invite you to share this news with your colleagues and fellow researchers. Your support in spreading the word about our journal is invaluable, and we appreciate your efforts in helping us reach a wider audience.

    Finally, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude for considering JJMLL as your avenue for research publication. Your contributions and the sharing of our journal links worldwide play a crucial role in fostering a vibrant academic community.

    Thank you for your understanding and continued support. We look forward to welcoming your submissions again in the new year.

    Warm regards,

    Rasheed S. Al-Jarrah

    Chief Editor
