For Librarians
CJASE's Role in the Sri Lankan Academic Publishing Landscape
The Ceylon Journal of Applied Science and Engineering (CJASE) serves as a cornerstone for Sri Lankan academic publishing in applied sciences and engineering. By providing a high-quality, peer-reviewed platform for local research, CJASE helps elevate the visibility of Sri Lankan scholarship on the global stage and supports the development of regional research capacity.
Open Access Benefits for Institutional Repositories
CJASE’s fully open access model ensures that all published articles are freely available for inclusion in institutional repositories, promoting wider dissemination and long-term preservation of scholarly content. Libraries can integrate CJASE content seamlessly into their collections, enhancing discoverability for students, researchers, and faculty.
