From the
Editor-in-Chief
On behalf of
the new editorial team of the Journal of Applied Research in Education (JARE),
one of the official journals of our great Department, it is my great pleasure
to introduce this online edition of our journal. The decision to transit to online publishing is in line with the best global practices. This is to promote the web visibility of both the Department and the Author(s).
As the new Head of
Department/Editor-in-Chief of the journal, I would like to begin this, my first
editorial essay, by thanking the entire Departmental leadership, most
importantly, our recently retired father, Professor Aloy Maduka Ejiogu, who was
the main brain behind the floating of this journal. I also appreciate the
erstwhile Managing Editor, Professor Ramoni Ayo Alani. Their conscientious
stewardship of JARE, no doubt, raised the journal’s stature and left an
indelible mark on the intellectual fabric of Educational studies in Nigeria and
beyond. This issue is the first to be published under the new journal masthead.
As an editorial collective, we are committed to promoting transparency and accountability as part of the candid scholarly exchange accompanying the article submission and peer review processes. We have adopted a number of new editorial policies, guidelines, and tools to aid the smoothness and timeliness of peer review and to promote the wider dissemination and accessibility of knowledge.
These are exciting times for JARE and
indeed for the entire membership of our Department, as our distinguished
journal, has now come back to life, adopts new practices to accommodate the
growing diversity and vitality of interdisciplinary studies in Nigeria and
beyond. The articles in this journal usually encompass a broad spectrum of disciplines
and interdisciplinary sites of research.
Happy Reading.
