About the Academic Research Journal of Science and Technology
ARJST (ISSN 3048-9644) is a double-blind peer-reviewed, diamond open access journal published monthly since September 2024 by Nallamuthu Gounder Mahalingam College (Autonomous), Pollachi, India.
Who we are
The Academic Research Journal of Science and Technology treats science and technology not as isolated disciplines but as social and material practices. It publishes work that examines how scientific and technological knowledge is produced, organised, communicated, governed and used – together with applied research in which new technologies are developed and evaluated.
The journal welcomes contributions from computing, information science, commerce and management, the social sciences and the humanities, and gives particular attention to research that crosses disciplinary boundaries. It also encourages work that develops the methods of Science and Technology Studies (STS) itself.
ARJST is edited by academic staff of Nallamuthu Gounder Mahalingam College (Autonomous) and reviewed by independent external experts. All content is published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence.
