Instead of an In Memoriam to Maria Immacolata Macioti  

Academicus started its journey 12 years ago as a train traveling in the track of “Enhance and Disseminate Science” fueled with “Courage and Non-conformity”. 

Maria Immacolata Macioti, as Founding Member of the Editorial Board of the journal, was definitively an artificer in the creation of such an inclusive and highly selective publishing platform, always careful to the dimensions of scientific rigidity, accessibility and interdisciplinarity in the journal's content, its publishing practices and international impact. 

These are contributions that will never whiten, since they are core components to Academicus’ mission. 

The trail that Minette has left, a distinguished international scientific authority and a great and courageous cultivator of sociological discourse, will never fade. 

I think this is the same feeling as all of us, that we have had the privilege of being part of her world and being touched by her immense heart of her. 

She will forever remain the great visionary advisor and mentor, always present in the future stations of the journey of Academicus, reflecting the great dedication of Prof. Macioti to the qualitative scientific publication and social research, as a contribution academician's must give to humanity.  

Minette Now and Forever!!

A new magazine that began in an era dominated by electronic messages now clearly is both an act of intellectual courage and fervent hope for the future.
Especially in countries that are developing into modern industrial sense, such as Albania, a magazine like this could mark a turning point than the political theories still purely intuitive or dogmatically metaphors of the past.
Even the Albanian society, exactly like the rest, in this respect, the other technically advanced society, needs the sociological and political field.
In other words, the social and political relations can not be experienced in traditional magic, or just under the authority of the ‘eternal yesterday.
It is time to execute a concept and practice of social development that are based on systematically responsible participation of all citizens.
