| Homeopathy and Hpathy both are growing rapidly.
Homeopathy is growing with thousands of new homeopaths and millions
of new patients coming to homeopathy every year. Hpathy is growing
with nearly 40 to 50 thousand people accessing its content every
month which results in close to a million page-views. Even our four
month old journal is now subscribed by more than 4000 people. Not
to mention that the journal is now being read by most renowned homeopaths
in the world. Phenomenal growth is taking place for homeopathy on
the ground and on the Net!
But as often happens, when the quantitative growth is too much,
it is difficult to maintain the quality. It is happening on the
ground. Many homeopathy schools are churning out homeopaths which
are below standard. This is more true for the South-Asian region
where homeopathy schools have mushroomed in hundreds in the past
decade. The quality of homeopathy education in many such institutes
is a matter of concern.
Hpathy also keeps facing problems due to rapid growth. The technical
problems are resolved by putting more resources into it but the
qualitative problems are not so easy to resolve. A lot of human
effort is needed to serve you quality content month after month.
The ezine team deserves special applause for improving the quality
with each passing month. But bringing out an issue every 30 days
is not an easy task. The strain on the members of the editorial
team often becomes visible with so many deadlines to meet.
The editorial team of the journal is looking for ways to ensure
better quality control for the journal. Many suggestions have come
up like making the journal bimonthly or increasing the staff or
reducing the quantity of content. Since this is 'YOUR' ezine. I
invite your comments regarding this issue. What do you think should
be the future course for this ezine? What direction should it be
given? How are we to balance the quantitative growth with the quality
control? Your opinions and suggestions are welcome. Please write
to us at editor@hpathy.com.
Looking forward to your feedback.
Yours sincerely,
