Dear Professors and colleagues,
Hope this email finds you well.
Please let me invite all of you to a very special issue of Religions, a peer-reviewed journal indexed in the A&HCI.
This special issue of Soka Gakkai International (SGI) is designed to improve a more comprehensive and balanced understanding of SGI which has grown very fast across the globe, compared to other Buddhist sects. Here is the website of this Special Issue
"Theoretical and Behavioral Approaches to the Growth of Soka Gakkai International (SGI)":
https://www.mdpi.com/journal/religions/special_issues/W0349H33A4As guest editor I also encourage you to invite feature papers from your colleagues who are
likely to submit a high-quality manuscript, which will help to draw attention to this Special Issue, broaden the readership, and increase
citations of all articles. I can help you to avoid a direct rejection from Religions if your abstract is sent in advance through this link:
The deadline of manuscript submission is on December 31, 2025.
"All articles published in /Religions/ (ISSN 2077-1444) are published in full open access. In order to provide free access to readers, and to
cover the costs of peer review, copy editing, typesetting, long-term archiving, and journal management, an article processing charge (APC) of
1800 CHF (Swiss Francs) applies to papers accepted after peer review.
For the scholars who do not have financial support enough to pay the relatively expensive APC, please let me know anytime.
I will ask the discounted rate to the office if it contributes to obtaining high quality manuscripts.
If you have any suggestions and questions, please never hesitate to contact me by email.
Best regards,
Kwang Suk Yoo & Andrew Eungi Kim
