INTRODUCTION
Debre Markos University, as part of its mission, is responsible not only to assist its academic staff to conduct problem-solving research but also to disseminate research findings timely and appropriately. To this end, it has been publishing the research findings on annual symposium proceedings. However, the demand from the academic staff to have a scientific journal to publish their works initiates the launching of Debre Markos University Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies (hereafter referred to as DMUJIDS), the first journal in the history of the University.
Aims and Objectives
DMUJIDS is an interdisciplinary journal that aims to contribute knowledge to the academic world by publishing original research works from various disciplines. Our dedicated technical and editorial team members from different fields of studies ensure the quality and standard of the journal.
This journal is published bi-annually and is peer-reviewed, dedicated to issues in all disciplines. The journal publishes original research and review articles in areas of agriculture, technology, science, health, business, justice, and humanities. The journal addresses both theoretical and empirical problems related to the areas of study aforementioned.
