Nkumba University launched this First Issue of the First Volume of a new international journal on 16th July 2021. It has been baptized “Nkumba International Research Journal” and it is tobe abbreviated as “NIRJ” in citations.
This initiative is in recognition of the fact
that journal articles, in academic life, are the
final output of most research. A researcher’s
performance and productivity are judged
largely on the number of publications,
leading to the adage: “either you publish
or you perish”. It is through publications
that research findings are disseminated to
others in a particular discourse. Journals are
known to offer a wide selection of scholarly
articles that can be used for understanding
the progress of knowledge in a research
field and for developing ideas for further
research. Nkumba University is, therefore,
committed to enhancing the reputation of the
NIRJ through accepting quality manuscripts,
selecting reputable reviewers, and having an
experienced calibre of the Editorial Board and
Editorial Team to increase the visibility and
credibility of the contributing researchers as
well as their career opportunities.
The articles to be published in this research journal will be peer-reviewed and approved by
experts in the respective fields to ensure the reliability of the resources for referencing and
use by researchers, policymakers, and the general public. Prospective authors can send their
original manuscripts via e-mail to the journal for peer review and possible publication. The NIRJ
will expect article contributions from wide expertise such as Education, Humanities, Social
sciences, Business, Law, Natural and Applied Sciences, Languages, Art and Design, Psychology
and Security Studies. The journal will bring together expertise from universities and the wider
civil society worldwide and facilitate communication and collaboration between researchers,
practitioners, and educators. Manuscripts from authors are, therefore, welcome. Instructions
to authors appear on the inside cover of the journal.
The frequency of publication of the journal will, until further notice, be biannual. Its functional
focus will be on well researched and useful information, education on various issues of national
and global importance, and guidance on the latest innovations and developments.
