TY - JOUR AU - OKOYA, SAMUEL SEGUN PY - 2017/07/15 Y2 - 2024/03/29 TI - FROM THE DESK OF THE EDITOR - IN - CHIEF JF - Journal of the Nigerian Mathematical Society JA - JNMS VL - 36 IS - 1 SE - Editorials DO - UR - https://ojs.ictp.it/jnms/index.php/jnms/article/view/102 SP - 1-2 AB - In 2015, we successfully upgraded from one journal issue per year<br />to three issues per year under the Elsevier platform and we disengaged<br />early last year from Elsevier due to unforeseen challenges<br />in the agreement involving the Committee of Vice Chancellors and<br />TetFund. However, the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical<br />Physics (ICTP), Trieste, Italy, a leading global institution<br />that has consistently built scientific capacities of developing countries<br />by fostering the growth of advanced studies/research in physical/<br />mathematical sciences has kindly supported the online hosting<br />of the Journal of the Nigerian Mathematical Society. This will<br />provide the journal with cost-effective and suitable alternatives to<br />hosting with Elsevier. Our latest feat was a result of my recent visit<br />to ICTP in June/July 2016 as a Visiting Scientist to the Mathematics<br />section under the headship of Professor Fernando Rodriguez<br />Villegas, and the unquantifiable effort of Dr. Clement Onime of<br />the Information and Communications Technology Section of ICTP.<br />Our special thanks go to the Director, ICTP, Professor Fernando<br />Quevedo for the endorsement of the Memoranda of Understanding<br />without which we cannot go live on Open Journal System (OJS).
