A Letter to Future Generations

If you are reading this, you are now part of a journey that began long before you joined Sami Publishing Company.

This organization was founded with a simple belief:

Scholarly publishing is more than producing journals. It is a responsibility to science, to researchers, and to future generations of knowledge.

Every generation inherits an organization shaped by those before it. Every generation also has a responsibility to leave it stronger, wiser, and more trustworthy for those who will follow.

That is the responsibility we hope you will continue.

You may work with technologies we could never imagine.

You may develop better editorial systems.

You may build stronger journals.

You may serve a larger global research community.

We sincerely hope that you do.

Progress is not something to fear.

Responsible growth is something to pursue.

But as you improve our systems, never forget the principles that gave this organization its identity.

Protect the integrity of scholarly publishing.

Protect editorial independence.

Respect every author, reviewer, editor, and reader.

Never allow short-term interests to outweigh long-term trust.

Remember that reputation is earned through thousands of responsible decisions, not a single achievement.

Continue learning.

Welcome constructive criticism.

Improve your methods whenever necessary.

But never compromise your principles.

One day, none of us who founded this organization will be here.

Our names may no longer be remembered.

That is not important.

What matters is that the values remain alive in the daily decisions of those who continue this work.

If, many years from now, Sami Publishing Company is recognized as a trusted and respected scholarly publisher, it will not be because of one founder, one editor, or one generation.

It will be because each generation accepted the responsibility of protecting what mattered most while courageously improving everything else.

If you leave this organization stronger than you found it, you will have honored those who came before you.

And those who come after you will one day thank you for the same reason.

The future of Sami Publishing Company does not belong to any individual.

It belongs to every generation willing to protect its values, improve its work, and serve science with integrity.

Every generation is a temporary guardian of a permanent responsibility.

Take good care of what has been entrusted to you.

Build wisely.

Lead responsibly.

Leave it better than you found it.

I would like to write this letter for the next hundred years (2126-07-04), when even if only my name remains, I am certain that, based on the coherent organization and the strategic document that I have established, it will be one of the most prestigious publishers in the world.

Dr. Sami Sajjadifar, Founder and CEO of Sami Publishing Company, Date: 2026-07-04
