AIMS AND SCOPE
AIM:
Bangladesh Journal of Multidisciplinary Scientific Research (BJMSR) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed and refereed academic journal published by CRIBFB. The journal provides a scholarly platform for the dissemination of high-quality, original, and innovative research that addresses contemporary issues and emerging challenges across a broad range of scientific, social scientific, technological, and interdisciplinary fields.
BJMSR aims to promote multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research by bringing together scholars, researchers, academics, practitioners, policymakers, and professionals from different disciplines and geographical regions. The journal particularly encourages research that integrates theories, methodologies, perspectives, and evidence from multiple disciplines to develop a deeper understanding of complex academic and real-world problems.
The journal welcomes theoretical, empirical, conceptual, methodological, and applied research that contributes significantly to existing knowledge. BJMSR is committed to encouraging rigorous scholarly inquiry, methodological excellence, innovation, knowledge exchange, and evidence-based solutions to contemporary global and regional challenges.
Although the journal has its roots in Americas and places particular emphasis on research relevant to USA, it maintains a broad international orientation. Contributions are welcomed from Asia, including Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia, as well as research from the Middle East, Africa, Europe, North America, South America, Oceania, and other regions. Comparative, cross-country, cross-cultural, and globally relevant studies are particularly encouraged.
