Aim & Scope
The Journal of Next-Generation Research and Development (JNRD) is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by Inkwise Press. It publishes research and development work across science, engineering, medicine, technology and the social sciences, with an eye on results that can be taken forward into practice.
Because the journal is broad, we ask authors to write for an intelligent reader outside their own specialty and to be clear about what their work changes.
Scope
JNRD publishes original research articles, review articles, case studies and short communications in areas including, but not limited to:
- Artificial intelligence, data science and automation
- Biotechnology, life sciences and biomedical engineering
- Sustainable energy and environmental innovation
- Materials science and nanotechnology
- Information and communication technologies
- Space and aerospace research
- Smart infrastructure and urban innovation
- Robotics, mechatronics and applied physics
- Management, innovation and future policy studies
