Dear colleagues,

The following Special Issue will be published in Administrative Sciences
(http://www.mdpi.com/journal/admsci/, ISSN 2076-3387), and is now
open to receive submissions of full research papers and comprehensive
review articles for peer-review and possible publication:

Special Issue: Innovations in Education Policy and Private Sector Initiatives
in Pacific Rim Countries
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/admsci/innovations_education/
Guest Editor: Dr. Kathryn Ibata-Arens
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 September 2012

You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send
us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the
Editorial Office at admsci@mdpi.com.

This Special Issue will be fully open access. Open access (unlimited and
free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent
citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the
authors and their institutes. More information is available at
http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/.

Article Processing Charges (APC) are waived for well prepared
manuscripts in 2012. However, a fee of 250 CHF may apply if English
editing or extensive revisions must be undertaken by the Editorial Office.
For details see: http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc/.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript:
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/admsci/instructions/. Manuscripts should be
submitted through the online manuscript submission and editorial system at
http://www.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/.

Administrative Sciences is a new international, open access journal on the
science of administration. It is published by MDPI online quarterly at
http://www.mdpi.com/journal/admsci/. Administrative Sciences is already
covered by RePEc, IDEAS, EconPapers and the DOAJ.

MDPI publishes several peer-reviewed, open access journals listed at
http://www.mdpi.com/. The Editorial Board members, including several
Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading
active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rapid, yet rigorous, peer-
review, manuscript handling and editorial processes. MDPI journals have
increased their impact factors, see "2010 Newly Released Impact Factors",
http://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/121/.

In case of questions, please contact the Editorial Office at:
admsci@mdpi.com.

We are looking forward to hearing from you.

Kind regards,
MDPI AG
