Leadership
The Founding of Eman Research
Eman Research Academic was founded in 2017 in Canberra, Australia by Dr. Md. Shamsuddin Sultan Khan, with the academic support of Dr. Amin Malik Shah Abdul Majid at the John Curtin School of Medical Research, part of the Australian National University.
The goal was clear from the beginning:
To create a scholarly publishing environment where authors, reviewers, and editors work together to strengthen research rather than simply judge it.
From its founding in Australia, ERA began building journals, editorial networks, and research communication platforms that emphasized constructive peer review, transparency, and accessibility.
Between 2017 and 2023, ERA operated from Australia and expanded its publishing initiatives across multiple scientific disciplines.
To further strengthen global collaboration and increase international visibility, the organization later transitioned its legal operations to the United States.
Today, ERA operates under Eman Research Publishing LLC, registered in the State of Wyoming, USA.
