Publication and Dissemination at the College of Science, Bahir Dar University

The College of Science at Bahir Dar University is committed to advancing scientific knowledge through high-quality research publications and effective dissemination of findings. Faculty members and researchers actively publish in internationally recognized peer-reviewed journals, contributing to the global scientific community. The research outputs span various disciplines, including space physics, environmental science, biotechnology, chemistry, mathematics, and applied sciences. By prioritizing rigorous research and publication, the college enhances its academic reputation and fosters collaborations with researchers worldwide.

A key platform for research dissemination within the college is the Ethiopian Journal of Science and Technology (EJST), a peer-reviewed journal hosted by Bahir Dar University. Currently in its 18th volume (Issue 2), EJST provides an avenue for publishing high quality research in science, engineering, and technology, offering a regional and international forum for scholars to share their findings. The journal plays a crucial role in promoting local research while ensuring that scientific contributions from Ethiopian and African researchers are recognized globally. Additionally, EJST supports early career researchers by providing opportunities to publish their work in a reputable academic outlet.

In addition to journal publications, the college actively organizes conferences, workshops, and symposia to facilitate knowledge exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration. Annual research conferences hosted by the college provide a platform for faculty, postgraduate students, and invited researchers to present their latest discoveries. Participation in international scientific conferences further enhances the visibility of the college’s research output and fosters global partnerships.

The college also emphasizes the practical application of research findings through policy briefs, technical reports, and community engagement activities. Researchers collaborate with policymakers, industries, and local communities to ensure that scientific advancements contribute to sustainable development and societal well-being. Furthermore, science communication initiatives, including public lectures, media engagements, and the publication of popular science articles, help bridge the gap between academic research and the general public.

By fostering a strong research culture and prioritizing knowledge dissemination through platforms like the Ethiopian Journal of Science and Technology, the College of Science at Bahir Dar University continues to play a pivotal role in advancing scientific inquiry, addressing real-world challenges, and enhancing the impact of research at local, national, and international levels.
