Publications

The International Journal of Research Scholars & Administrators is a scholarly publication containing articles written by researchers, professors and other experts, focusing on a specific discipline or field of study. It is intended for an academic or technical audience rather than general readers, is published throughout the year, and presents the most recent research, in both print and online formats.

The association's policy briefs capture current concepts, experiences and solutions that are of importance to educational planning, agriculture, economic policy initiatives, entrepreneurship and health policymaking. The association recognizes that there are multiple approaches to writing policy briefs, and through consultation has developed a distinct approach, with all briefs following a common template.

The policy briefs and working papers showcase the latest ideas and research produced by faculty affiliates, and inform discussions and decisions being made about pressing education and economic policies. They bring together existing evidence and present it in an accessible format, use systematic methods transparently stated, and all undergo a formal and rigorous peer review process.

The briefs directly influence government policy by reviewing current research in important areas. They are a trusted, impartial source of information, act as evidence for policy developments, and often advocate a particular course of action. They help research create real world impact by sharing research that shapes society, developments such as new technologies or policies, significant findings with far-reaching social and economic implications, and new industry practices.

The association publishes data and reporting to disseminate its research findings. These spread across a vast horizon of topics but are generally focused on communicating information about a particular topic to a specific audience. The primary motive of the research reports is to convey integral details about a study for the association's researchers to consider while designing new strategies.

The reports relay events, facts and other information based on the association's research to the research community, policy makers, institutions and corporate bodies. Ideal research reports are extremely accurate and offer information with a clear objective and conclusion, in a clean and structured format. A research report is a reliable source recounting the details of research conducted, and is considered a true testimony of all the work done.

The association's proceedings publication differs from its regular journals in several aspects, which makes it important for all authors to follow the guidelines.

IARSA conferences and events provide opportunities for meeting, building relationships and sharing research with other researchers, scholars, individuals, institutions, corporate bodies and policy makers working in the field. Research is presented as an oral presentation or a poster, and the conference proceedings comprise abstracts and written papers from the conference or event. Abstracts are usually required for both oral presentations and posters, while written papers are often optional and may be restricted to participants who gave oral presentations.

An association press release is an official statement delivered to members of the news media for the purpose of providing information, creating an official statement, or making an announcement directed for public release about events, programmes, new projects or partnerships. Press releases are also considered a primary source, meaning they are original informants of information to the general community.

Press releases are handled by the association's Public Relations Officer and Social Media Officers, to inform the public and the press about noteworthy programmes and events, and are spread to a wider audience through newspapers, newswire services, social media and posters, to announce newsworthy events, research and projects, or any other material information.
