The Journal of Applied Science in Southern Africa (JASSA) is a biannual multi-disciplinary science journal which specialises in applied research that is of importance to or specific to Southern Africa, but not exclusively. There is a certain degree of flexibility in the choice of articles, in particular pure natural science articles are considered. The journal publishes reviews of science books written by regional authors and of books whose subject matter is particularly relevant to the main focus of the journal. Enquiries can be directed to the Editor-in-Chief through the following email address: jassa@uzlib.uz.ac.zw. JASSA accepts article or paper submissions through the same email address during submission timelines defined by circulated calls for papers. JASSA Editor-in-Chief: Professor C Nhachi.
