Journal for Nano Education – NanoScience and Nanotechnology | Peer reviewed

The Journal for NanoScience and Nanotechnology Education or Nanoeducation literature have been included in section part of ‘Journal of Materials NanoScience‘ under NanoEdu section.
The faculty members now can published their literary work required for teaching and learning of NanoScience and Nanotechnology concepts. The following type of work will be considered for publication

Lecture Notes: for undergraduate level or postgraduate level, systemic write ups for better understanding of nano concepts.
Chapters : Detailed chapters in field of nanomaterials, NanoScience, nanotechnology.
Practical experimental details: If you are conducting experiments as part of curriculum study, then you can submit the details of experiments for undergraduate as well as postgraduate courses. This has to include complete details for repeat-ability by the students (step wise complete procedure explanation besides theory of experimentation)

Submission of manuscript:
The chapters or NanoEdu articles should be prepared as per journal guidelines and submit on the journal site in NanoEdu section. Authors may prepare the articles in the journal article template provided under author guidelines section, however, the final font size and layout of manuscript would be updated for clear presentation of contents and easy readability for readers. The manuscripts will be peer reviewed publication.

Journal site: http://www.pubs.iscience.in/journal/index.php/jmns

When suitable number of articles on particular theme would have been published in the NanoEdu section of the journal, then these will also be compiled and published as book.

This collective compilation would be highly beneficial for students of nanosciences/nanotechnology subject in all countries. SUBMIT YOUR MANUSCRIPT TODAY

Prof. Rajender (Raj) S. Varma (H -Index 96) was born in India (Ph.D., Delhi University 1976). After postdoctoral research at Robert Robinson Laboratories, Liver-pool, UK, he was faculty member at Baylor College of Medicine and Sam Houston State University prior to joining US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in 1999 with affiliation at Palacky University, Olomouc, Czech Republic (2014). He has over 45 years of experience in management of multi-disciplinary technical programs and is extensively involved in sustainable aspects of chemistry that includes, development of environmentally benign methods using alternate energy input using microwaves, ultrasound, photochemistry and mechano-chemistry and efficient technologies for the sustainable remediation of contaminants in the environment. Lately, he has focused on greener approaches to assembly of nanomaterials and sustainable applications of magnetically retrievable nano-catalysts in benign media. Dr. Varma has received numerous awards: Office of Research and Development (ORD) Sustainability Award (2015) from US EPA; Silver Medal for Superior Service-EPA for outstanding scientific and leadership contributions establishing EPAas a pioneering organization in Green Chemistry (2013), Visionary of the Year Award -Green Technology for Environment (2009), among others. He is on editorial advisory board of several international journals and has published over 465 scientific papers and awarded 16 US Patents, 8 books, 27 book chapters and 3 encyclopedia contributions with over ~ 31,000 citations.

Publications: Selected from ~465 Peer-reviewed Papers, 7 Books, 28 Book Chapters and 3 Encyclopedia contributions; (~388 Presentations in National and International meetings).
