On behalf of the Editorial Team and Reviewers, I am delighted to announce the publication of the inaugural issue of the African Scientific Reports (ASR) to the research community and the world at large. ASR, which is published by the Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences (NSPS), is peer-reviewed, open access, inter-and multidisciplinary scientific journal that is dedicated to expanding access to African research, increasing intra-African scientific collaboration, and building academic research capacity in Africa.
ASR came into existence after the first annual general meeting of NSPS, that was held in November 2021, where the members recommended that there is a need to expand or add to how Scientific research from the field of Natural Sciences, Medical Sciences and Engineering are disseminated to the research world aside from the existing Journal of Nigerian Society of Physical Sciences (JNSPS) which publishes research only in the field of physical sciences.
This maiden edition includes five (5) articles, majorly from Natural sciences. All papers submitted for publication in this first issue went through a rigorous peer review process from anonymous reviewers. This issue would be useful to researchers and practitioners working in the related areas and as well to the public interested in Natural sciences, Medical Sciences and Engineering.
I hope you will agree that all articles are fine additions to the various fields to which they contribute.
