Aims & Scope
The Malaysian Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences (MJFAS) (formerly known as Journal of Fundamental Sciences (2005-2011), ISSN: 1823-626X) is a refereed research journal published by Penerbit UTM Press, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia. MJFAS is devoted to the original contribution to fundamental and applied mathematics and natural sciences covering physics, chemistry, and biology. For acceptance in MJFAS, a manuscript must be the right fit with the journal's focus and scope.
