Manuscript Publication

The Society for Scientific and Technological Advancement (TSSTA) places a strong emphasis on the dissemination of high-impact, evidence-based research through its robust and evolving publications platform. Recognizing the crucial role of academic publishing in driving innovation, informing policy, and enhancing scientific collaboration, TSSTA is committed to providing scholars, practitioners, and students with reputable and accessible avenues to publish, share, and preserve their work.

1. Peer-Reviewed Academic Journals

TSSTA manages a growing portfolio of peer-reviewed scholarly journals across multiple disciplines. These journals serve as platforms for the global dissemination of original research, critical reviews, case studies, and technical reports in areas such as:

  • Science and Engineering
  • Medical and Health Sciences
  • Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
  • Education and Social Development
  • Technology, Innovation, and ICT
  • Public Policy and Sustainable Development

Each journal is guided by an editorial board comprising subject-matter experts, and adheres strictly to international publishing ethics, transparency, and academic integrity.

Key Features:

  • Open access or hybrid publication options
  • Double-blind peer review process
  • DOI registration and indexing efforts
  • Acceptance of interdisciplinary and applied research

2. TSSTA Conference Proceedings

The Society regularly hosts regional and international conferences, symposia, and research summits. Accepted papers and presentations from these events are published in the TSSTA Conference Proceedings Series, which provides:

  • A platform for early-career and established researchers to showcase new findings
  • Documentation of groundbreaking discussions, innovations, and trends
  • Indexed and citable content for academic recognition

These proceedings are reviewed, formatted, and published both digitally and in print, making them valuable references for policymakers, researchers, and institutions.

3. TSSTA Research Bulletins and Policy Briefs

In its effort to influence real-world impact, TSSTA publishes periodic research bulletins and policy briefs derived from studies, field projects, and expert roundtables. These publications are designed to:

  • Translate complex scientific findings into actionable insights
  • Inform public and private sector decision-making
  • Raise awareness about critical issues in science, technology, and development

They are distributed to policymakers, NGOs, academic institutions, and the general public through both online platforms and printed reports.

4. Books, Monographs, and Edited Volumes

TSSTA supports the publication of full-length books, monographs, and edited volumes that explore in-depth topics in science, technology, education, and innovation. These works may include:

  • Research-based books by TSSTA members and fellows
  • Thematic collections from conferences
  • Reports on major projects and national development studies

The Society partners with academic presses and independent publishers to ensure wide distribution and ISBN registration.

5. Student Publications and Undergraduate Research Journals

As part of its commitment to nurturing young scholars, TSSTA encourages and supports student research publications through:

  • A Student Research Journal dedicated to high-quality undergraduate and postgraduate work
  • Special student issues and competitions with publication incentives
  • Editorial support and mentorship for first-time authors

This initiative promotes academic confidence, builds research writing skills, and helps early-career researchers establish a publishing record.

6. Digital Library and Archives

All TSSTA publications are housed in a digital repository and online library, which is accessible to members, academic institutions, and the wider public (based on access levels). The repository includes:

  • Past journal editions and proceedings
  • Special reports, working papers, and newsletters
  • Archived projects and thematic research outputs

This platform serves as a knowledge hub for African-led scientific and technological research.

7. Authorship and Submission Opportunities

TSSTA welcomes contributions from members and non-members, including:

  • Original research articles
  • Review papers and commentaries
  • Reports from fieldwork or innovations
  • Student theses and final-year projects (supervised)

Authors are guided through a transparent editorial workflow, from submission to review, revision, and publication.

Submission portals, guidelines for authors, and call-for-paper notices are regularly updated on the TSSTA website and communicated via newsletters.

Conclusion

Through its publishing activities, TSSTA plays a critical role in amplifying African voices in global science, promoting responsible research, and shaping policy dialogues that are rooted in evidence. These publications are not just academic outputs—they are instruments of transformation, collaboration, and progress.
