Level3, an occasional on-line journal, was devised in 2003 as a means of capturing and disseminating online the variety and quality of research and innovatory practices within the DIT, now Technological University Dublin (TUD).

Since then, over twenty issues of Level3 have been published. Its reach has extended internationally and beyond the confines of academia. We publish both occasional issues arising from general CALLs and special issues related to discrete areas of industry-related research and to academic commentary on significant contemporary issues.

Introduction

This is an introduction volume from Level 3 to the first volume for our newly launched Journal of Academic Research & Innovation (JARI). The new journal, JARI is a second spin-out from the first open access Technological University Dublin online journal Level3. JARI was devised by the Level3 Editorial Panel in 2024 in response to the changing needs of academic staff, researchers, scholars and students in higher education to curate their research output and to publish individually and collaboratively for a global readership with greater visibility and accessibility. As an open access journal JARI does not charge publication fees to authors or require payment for downloads. Copyright normally resides with authors. CALLS for occasional issues of JARI are circulated twice annually. Special Issues are normally thematic, proposed internally and then negotiated between Editors and lead authors or Issue compilers. Relationships with authors is a key feature of JARI. In this regard we do not use automated manuscript submission and we negotiate styles and formats with authors in context. Peer Review can be arranged for authors who request it. Reviewed articles are noted as such. Items which were published previously can be accommodated with standard permissions. JARI policies and style guide for authors are accessible from our JARII homepage. This inaugural issue of JARI (Volume 1 Issue 1) June 2025 is a Special Issue which features a set of eight articles based on final year multi-disciplinary research projects from collaborating teams of academics, researchers and students in The Nanolab Research Centre in the School of Food Science and Environmental Health and in the School of Biological, Health and Sports Sciences in the College of Science, Technological University Dublin. The articles relate variously to therapeutics and diagnostics, to monitoring potential health hazards and to nano-nutrition.
