If it is based on evidence, so much the better; yet it analyses evidence rather than produces it. What it analyses can be the basis of the production of new evidence. Meanwhile we intend to inform the young scholars that RETELL has travelled quite a distance – from one of an in-house reading to an ISSN numbered multidisciplinary journal. Continuing on the editorial point of the Dec 2015 issue, the emerging success with Open access (OA) inevitably is the new model it portrays for scholarly publishing as against the conventional subscription-based system (SBS). Among the drawbacks of the SBS is the conflicts of interest created on payment for publication which could have a negative impact on the perceived neutrality of peer review, since there would be a financial incentive for journals to publish more articles. Both the access and the reuse of research data are unrestricted under OA. This is an issue of great value. For under the SBS publishers own the rights to the articles in their journals; anyone who wants to read the articles must pay to access them; and anyone who wants to use the articles in any way must obtain permission from the publisher with an additional fee. OA literature on the other hand is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyrights and licensing restrictions. Yet, OA is compatible with peer review, copyright, revenue, print, preservation, prestige, quality, career-advancement, indexing, and a host of other features and supportive services associated with conventional scholarly literature. OA postulates accelerated discovery, public enrichment and improved education - teachers and their students have access to the latest research findings throughout the world. However, OA may not be the last word on new modes of access to published results; but scholars’ benefits of research are derived principally from access to research results and their eventual dissemination. Melchias G Editor-in-Chief Epistle I take pride in releasing the April 2016 edition of RETELL and it brings joy to us and the scholars. I am proud of the young scholars who have contributed articles to this issue. Among a host of other things publication is an art of telling the world the arrival of the scholar on the world stage of research. We encourage them to cultivate the habit of writing; and writing scholarly is a notch higher than doing research. The college on its part has come forward to publish their articles free of charge. At this juncture, I must also thank the research advisors, who motivated and embellished the articles of their scholars. St. Joseph's can proudly boast that it has very good team of researchers in almost all the disciplines. I gratefully recollect the team work put in by Dr G. Melchias, Dean - School of Biological Sciences for his dedicated service in bringing out this journal. Along with a team of committed Editorial Board, he managed to bring out this issue within four months of the previous issue. I thank him for his hard labour.
