Impact is a publication housed under the Center for Research and Publication, a constituent department under ISAR (Institute for the Study of African Realities).
The themes are as inclusive as the interests and expertise of all those associated with AIU.

Your abstract should contain at least your research topic, research questions, participants, methods, results, data analysis, and conclusions.

Your abstract should typically be no more than 250-300 words.
