Review: Narrative

Preamble

The NICOS Scientific Journal, Journal of Cosmetic Science and Research, embodies the NICOS motto – “Elevating African Beauty Through Science.”

The concept of a NICOS scientific journal originated during the official launch of NICOS in July 2020 in a panel discussion. It became apparent that there was a gap in Nigeria for a new scientific journal that should be easily accessible to all cosmetic stakeholders in the country.

The target groups were cosmetic scientific publishers from within and readers from within and outside Nigeria. These groups desired and deserved a very high-quality research or review work in areas of cosmetics and associated fields emanating from Nigeria, West Africa, whole of Africa. Today, NICOS Scientific Journal Group (SJG) and Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) comprise highly motivated internal and external groups of specialists and expert memberships. The SJG and EBA are dedicated to producing quality journal, of very high standard, with a uniqueness, financially competitive, readily accessible, to be rated by the stakeholders and interested parties as a ‘must read’.

Our Objective

The objective of the NICOS journal is to provide a platform for advancement and dissemination of knowledge about cosmetics in Nigeria. The main objective is to drive the cosmetic industry scientifically, especially for potential entrepreneurs and other stakeholders to have evidence-base that would enhance and continue their motivations.

Therefore, original research articles on cosmetic raw materials sourced within Nigeria mainly, and secondly West Africa and Africa, will be very favourably considered. Review articles that advance the knowledge on known indigenous resources are also welcomed.

Peer Review

The articles in the Journal of Cosmetic Science and Research are peer reviewed.

The peer reviews are conducted by both internal and external reviewers. Every author is requested to submit along with their article, a name(s) of an expert in the field of the article submitted.
