Aim and Scope

ABUAD Journal of Engineering Research and Development (AJERD) is a double-blind peer-reviewed open access journal, which is domiciled in the College of Engineering of Afe Babalola University, Ado-Ekiti (ABUAD), Ekiti State, Nigeria. The aim of AJERD is to promote the discovery, advancement and dissemination of innovative and novel original research and development results in different branches of engineering to the wider public. AJERD provides a platform for fast publication of research and development outputs. All papers are freely available online with a permanent web identifier. The abstracts will be submitted for indexing in major academic databases. The journal accepts original research contributions that have not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere.

The scope of AJERD includes, but not limited to, the following branches of Engineering:

• Agricultural Engineering
• Biomedical Engineering
• Bioresources Engineering
• Chemical Engineering
• Civil Engineering
• Computer Engineering
• Electrical Engineering
• Electronics Engineering
• Environmental Engineering
• Mechanical Engineering
• Mechatronics Engineering
• Petroleum Engineering
• Systems Engineering

Indexing and Preservation

The journal complies with PKP Preservation Network (PKP PN), LOCKSS and CLOCKSS; thus, all published articles are harvested for permanent preservation. Importantly, all accepted and published articles carry unique digital object identifier (DOI) and are indexed in many reputable scholarly databases, libraries and archiving infrastructures that use the PKP PN, LOCKSS and CLOCKSS system for wider distribution, persistent visibility and global access.
