North South University (NSU) students have taken an initiative to launch a student-edited research journal titled ‘NSU Journal of Student Research’ (NSU JSR), a press release said Monday.
The research initiative aims to tap, unleash and improve the research potential and academic writing skills of students from NSU and other universities from around the world. Pro VC of NSU, Prof. M. Ismail Hossain inaugurated the journal at a ceremony held on 17 July 2022 at the NSU campus. The journal will be published under the supervision of the Office of Research (OR) of NSU.
The concept of student-led and managed research journals is common in all the top-ranking international universities like Columbia, Harvard, Cambridge and UPenn. It is still a novelty in Bangladesh.
The Journal’s main goal is to promote and disseminate student research in our country and beyond by providing an avenue for students to get their work published, expose them to the realm of research, and prepare them for a future career in academia.
Journal faculty advisor Prof. Mohammed Nuruzzaman, and Dr. Abdur Rob Khan, Dean of school of humanities and social sciences, spoke of this initiative by NSU students. Sakir Mohammad, Editor-in-Chief of NSU JSR offered vote of thanks.
