Sharing his views about the journal, Mr.
Manil Jayesinghe (President, The Institute
of Chartered Accountants of Sri Lanka)

stated that “It is a great initiative taken by
the Faculty of Management Studies in
providing a platform to the development of
economy where the community can learn

from others’ experiences and generate
new knowledge.” He further necessitated
the importance of close cooperation
between academic institutions and the

private sector in commercializing the
research outputs.

Prof. Saman K. Herath (Dean, Faculty of Animal Science
and Export Agriculture, Uva Wellassa University of Sri

Lanka) stated that academic journals enhance the global
visibility of the state universities and provide a platform for
knowledge dissemination. Most importantly, he has
highlighted the importance of research ethics in scientific

communication. He emphasized that “Given the
competitive nature of research, it has become increasingly
challenging for scientists to report unique and pioneering
research. Nevertheless, the practice of misreporting data

and scientific results continues to be followed by some
members of the research community.”
