Number of publications per year
NJSR is published twice in a year, May and November.
Aims and objectives
NJSR serves as a medium or channel for the publication/dissemination of the works, findings and discoveries of researchers in Nigeria and other parts of the world in various areas of space science. Currently, NJSR is the only such important publication medium in Nigeria. Scientists/researchers themselves, during the workshop organized by NASRDA-CBSS in July 2004, identified the urgent need to have this journal. The Journal publishes original papers, editorials, news, conferences and career/professional information that are relevant to space Scientists/Researchers in Africa and the world.
Scope and areas of coverage:
The Journal accepts for publication articles/papers that will serve the purpose of disseminating new research findings in space science, such as:
- Environmental Science
- Satellite communication
- Space Science Education
- Rocketry
- Remote sensing
- Atmospheric sciences
- Meteorology
- Astronomy and Astrophysics
- Instrumentation/Electronics/Software Development
- Geodesy and Geo-dynamics
- Space Science and Technology
- Space Applications
- Space Transport and Propulsion
