Background
Following the success of the International Conference on Robotics, Automation and Sciences (ICORAS) organized by Multimedia University (MMU) in 2016 and 2017—the largest technical events in these fields in Melaka at the time—MMU established a dedicated journal to build upon this legacy. Designed to enhance the university's research visibility in robotics, automation, and applied sciences, the International Journal on Robotics, Automation and Sciences (IJORAS) encompasses multidisciplinary domains, including Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Biomedical Engineering, and related disciplines.
IJORAS released its inaugural volume in November 2019, continuing with annual publications in November 2020 (Volume 2) and 2021 (Volume 3). In 2022, Volume 4 was published in July following a schedule adjustment. To better serve the scientific community, IJORAS expanded to a bi-annual schedule in 2023, publishing issues in April and September. To accommodate an increasing volume of high-quality submissions, the journal transitioned to a triannual format starting in 2025, releasing issues in March, July, and November.
Readerships
IJORAS reaches a global readership of researchers, industry specialists, and academic peers. Additionally, the journal is tailored for a broader audience of educated and informed readers seeking insights into robotics, automation, and applied sciences.
Rationale
IJORAS advances the strategic goals of Multimedia University and its research centres by providing a global platform for high-quality research that drives scientific progress. Achieving national and international recognition through a dedicated journal is vital for institutional growth. IJORAS showcases our university's capacity to contribute meaningfully to global knowledge production while fostering new research collaborations across local, regional, and international institutions.
