In order to make knowledge available to students, emerging scholars and academia, Praghna is happy to announce yet another initiative now. We have created a digital repository of all the papers published by EJSSS. The repository has a facility to search by author name, title, doi or simply with keywords.
We are making these well researched works available free of cost, in tune with our Open Access policy. The repository can be accessed on our website at https://www.praghna.org/members
Please go through the HOW TO help file posted below, before you access and use our digital library.
We hope academia, researchers and students will use this facility to enrich their knowledge and further their research endeavors. We have only one request – give credit to each work that you may consult or download, if you use their content to fortify your analysis. Yes, we strongly recommend using APA 6th edition style to provide such citations.
