Welcome to SOLAV
SOLAV (Scholarly Open-Library of Applied Visioneering) is a rigorously peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to the rapid dissemination of significant research across a broad spectrum of applied sciences and interdisciplinary technology. We operate on a continuous publication model, ensuring your work is published as soon as the review process is complete.
Advancing Scholarship Through Open Collaboration
In an era of accelerating discovery and global challenges, SOLAV serves as a scholarly commons where rigorous research meets broad accessibility. We believe knowledge should be a public good, not a private commodity.
Global Scholarly Commons
We transcend geographic and institutional boundaries, creating an inclusive platform where researchers from universities, independent laboratories, industry R&D, and grassroots innovation communities contribute equally. Academic merit, not affiliation, defines contribution.
Accelerated Knowledge Cycle
Our continuous publication model eliminates artificial delays, ensuring that significant findings reach the scholarly community without unnecessary waiting. From final acceptance to citable publication typically occurs within 5-7 business days, accelerating the research lifecycle.
Rigor with Purpose
We maintain uncompromising scholarly standards through rigorous peer review while embracing innovative methodologies and interdisciplinary approaches. Quality assessment is constructive, transparent, and focused on advancing understanding rather than gatekeeping.
Inclusive Excellence
SOLAV actively welcomes contributions from early-career researchers, independent scholars, practitioners, and established academics alike. We evaluate submissions based on intellectual contribution, methodological rigor, and relevance—not institutional pedigree or geography.
