Nigerian students and graduates, as well as professors, create outstanding academic publications regularly but prefer to publish them on foreign Journals. While this will lead to greater recognition, the process and cost of publication can be discouraging.
First, you have to apply to the Journal site and wait for weeks before they will approve. Then, you will be asked to pay a certain amount in foreign currency and when you convert it to Naira, it’s usually on the high side. This has discouraged many from writing and has left a lot of articles unpublished.
Well, it might interest you to find out that some Universities in Nigeria now publish their own journals. These journals cover all possible topics and areas of studies and are prepped to international standards. You just have to ensure the quality of your work meets up.
The National University Commission (NUC) evaluates these journals from time to time. If your work is spotted out as meeting international standard, your work will be classified under Group A, which means greater recognition. So, instead of worrying about approval from foreign sites, focus on making your work outstanding. Let’s look at the Universities that publish their own journals and the name of these Journals as well.
