Aims & Scope

The Proceedings of the Nigerian Academy of Science (PNgAS) is the peer-reviewed official journal of the Nigerian Academy of Science - one of Africa’s leading science Academies. The regular edition of the journal is a multi-disciplinary publication, with the primary objective of disseminating original research, systematic reviews, and meta-analysis in all STEM disciplines, especially those that address national and regional developmental challenges. The journal publishes articles that are based on deep-seated formative research using large and multi-center datasets that lead to a better understanding of the context of science related developmental challenges in various disciplines, and that identify appropriate pathways for accomplishing change. Submissions of papers based on intervention research that focus on experimental and quasi-experimental designs are also encouraged. The journal publishes two regular editions and at least one special edition each year. The journal is primarily intended for use in the scientific community, but its multidisciplinary nature also makes it accessible to researchers, educators, students, and readers interested in current issues and development.
