The Namibia Journal for Research, Science and Technology was launched last week in Windhoek. The multidisciplinary academic journal is published by the National Commission on Research Science and Technology (NCRST) and aims at putting Namibia and Namibian researchers on the global citation database as well as improve Namibia’s ranking in the Science Citation Index (SCI) and other global indices.   

According to New Era Live, the journal provides a meeting ground for researchers from a number of traditional disciplines and fosters the development of scientific research and publication without segregation. it will publish research articles from pure, applied and allied sciences and technology, and humanities and social sciences.

Notably, it challenges the STEM approach to higher education by proclaiming loud and clear that researches in disciplines in arts, humanities and social sciences are of equal importance in society.

The publishing of the first edition of the journal was made possible by dedicated scholars from NCRST, the University of Namibia (UNAM), The mother university, the Namibia University of Science and Technology (NUST) and the International University of Management (IUM), who committed most of their time to attend to the issues of the NCRST journal.
