About the Journal
What We Do
This is International Journal of Scientific Research, Innovation and Technological Development (IJSRITD) where all researches issues are catered for; where timely publication of your academic work is fostered using a Friendly Online Journal System. Accepted papers are immediately published online! (Our objective is to inform authors of the decision on their manuscripts within two weeks of submission. Following acceptance, a paper will normally be published online after the acceptance) -High Visibility and High Availability - free and unlimited accessibility of the publication over the internet without any restrictions. -Open Access publications are more frequently cited due to their high publicity and availability.
Focus and Scope
The International Journal of Scientific Research, Innovation and Technological Development (IJSRITD) is an initiative of the Academy of Innovative Research, Science & Technological Development (AcIRSTD). Our platform provides a global network of professionals and experts in various fields of research, promoting knowledge-sharing and collaboration on a scale like never before.
At IJSRITD, we are dedicated to empowering researchers, educators, and practitioners from all corners of the world to explore the frontiers of science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) through a range of digital resources. From scholarly articles and research papers to thought-provoking discussions and interviews with leading experts in the field, our platform offers a wealth of information and insights that inspire innovation and discovery.
As an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed open-access journal, the IJSRITD is dedicated to furthering the understanding of institutions for use and management of resources that are (or could be) enjoyed collectively. These resources may be part of the natural world (e.g. forests, climate systems, or the oceans) or they may emerge from social realities created by humans (e.g. the internet or (scientific) knowledge, for example of the sort that is published in open-access journals).
Using resources collectively is often believed to be problematic. In practice however, many cases can be found of common pool resources that are used in a sustainable way. The editors of the IJSRITD welcome contributions from all scientific disciplines, from practitioners and policy makers. We hope that our interdisciplinary approach will contribute to creating a balanced and nuanced view of how common pool institutions actually emerge, develop and perform.
Join us today and discover a world of endless possibilities for your research and innovation. Together, let's shape the future of academia and make a difference in the world.

Publication Frequency
The International Journal of Scientific Research, Innovation and Technological Development (IJSRITD) publishes articles quarterly within volume and issue.
Special collections of articles are welcomed and will be published as part of the normal issue, but also within a separate collection page.
Open Access
This journal, and the others published by IJSRITD, are published Open Access under a CC-BY 4.0 licence which allows readers to reuse the content without restriction. Open Access allows for unrestricted sharing of scholarly information and helps to promote knowledge throughout the world.
IJSRITD Open Access as an equitable means of ensuring that scholarly research, usually funded by public institutions, is made available to all. Open Access publications are more likely to be discovered, read, cited, and used for future research than those published in closed journals, and we believe it is in the best interests of authors and their parent institutions, as well as the journals themselves, to make all our content freely available and reusable.
Open Access Policy
This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge. There is no embargo on the journal’s publications. Submission and acceptance dates, along with publication dates, are made available on the PDF format for each paper.
Authors of articles published remain the copyright holders and grant third parties the right to use, reproduce, and share the article according to the IJSRITD license agreement.

Processing Fees
International Research Journal of Scientific Research, Innovation and Technological Development (IJSRITD) is a self supporting organization and does not receive funding from any institution/government. Hence, the operation of the journal is solely financed by the processing fees received from authors. The processing fees are required to meet operations expenses such as employees salaries, internet services, electricity etc. Being an Open Access Publisher, International Research Journals does not receive payment for subscription as the journals are freely accessible over the internet.
It costs money to produce a peer-reviewed, edited, and formatted article that is ready for online publication, and to host it on a server that is freely accessible without barriers around the clock. We ask that - as a small part of the cost of doing the research--the author, institution, or funding agency pays a modest fee to help cover the actual cost of the essential final step, the publication.
It is the vision of International Research Journal of Scientific Research, Innovation and Technological Development (IJSRITD) to support the Open Access initiative. All journals by IJSRITD are published without restriction to the global community. We strongly believe that the open access model will spur researches across the world especially in developing nations as researchers gain unrestricted access to high quality research articles.
It is the policy of IJSRITD not to request for grants for its operations as grants sometimes fail forcing the organization to discontinue its operations. Rather we have chosen the model of self sustenance through collecting processing fee for articles published.
Authors are required to make payment only after their articles have been accepted. Thus, we resulted to collecting the processing fee once an article has been reviewed and accepted for publication by an editor. Also, most authors receive a partial waiver (usually 70% - 90% - sometimes articles are published free of charge) depending on the country or sponsorship of the author. Waivers account for about 90% of all published articles.

The Academy of Innovative Research, Science & Technological Development (AcIRSTD) is an authoritative academic organization comprised of Nigeria and America’s leading science, technology innovation scholars. The Academy adopts the mandate to create and train some of the best of tomorrow’s Science, Technology and Innovation leaders through a combination of innovative and novel curricula, pedagogy and evaluation. AcIRSTD’s focuses on imparting instruction and providing research opportunities in such areas that are not routinely taught in regular academic universities across the globe.
The Academy has established a framework for cutting-edge research in fields such as materials science, biotechnology, traditional/natural medicine, artificial intelligence and energy. The Academy's research has resulted in significant advances in these fields, as well as new opportunities for developing innovative technologies.
AcIRSTD provides a platform for researchers and practitioners in developing and industrialized countries to come together, across disciplinary lines, share knowledge and manage resource. Most of the research reported at our conferences concerns science, technology and innovation (STI). Currently, this research is scattered among 8-12 journals, all of which are costly to get.
However, a majority of our members come from academic institutions in developing countries. Such institutions often have fewer resources devoted to journal subscriptions and fewer resources available to pay for printing of journal papers. Papers published on commons issues need to be in the public domain, freely available to all. Therefore AcIRSTD wants to publish a journal presenting the best of the research on science, technology and in an open access environment.
