Abstract

Journal of the Nigerian Institute of
Architects (NIAJ) is an academic journal,
which is coordinated by the Library and
Publications Committee of the Nigerian
Institute of Architects. The first issue of
NIAJ was published in 1981. Before 2023
all copies of the journal were printed with
ISSN 2315-8913, however since 2023, the
journal is printed digitally.
The Journal of the Nigerian Institute of
Architects, NIAJ publishes peerreviewed, original research and
review articles on architecture and
the built environment in an open
access format. NIAJ is a
comprehensive journal, accepting
articles that span the full extent of the
social, behavioural and
environmental sciences as well as the
humanities. NIAJ aims to be the
leading journal in architectural
research and practice
matters. Through a rigorous review of
relevant literature and evaluation of
valid research methods in articles,
the journal aims to be a publishing
reference in the architecture field.
While this journal is the flagship
publication for The Nigerian Institute
of Architects, papers are not
restricted to the profession, rather
multidisciplinary research is
encouraged in line with global best
practices.
