JARtech (Journal of Academic Research Technology)
JARtech, the Journal of Academic Research Technology, is a subsection of LiMSforum dedicated to the people conducting, supporting, and advancing academic research. Our goal is simple: to provide a focused source of information on the tools, methods, policies, and emerging technologies that shape how research gets done at universities, academic medical centers, and research institutes.
Academic research today looks nothing like it did a decade ago. Funder requirements around data management and sharing have tightened. The FAIR principles have become a baseline expectation. AI is reshaping workflows from literature review to data analysis. Reproducibility has moved from an abstract concern to a practical requirement. JARtech exists to help researchers navigate this evolving landscape with relevant, trustworthy, and useful information.
