A lecturer in the Department of Mass Communication, University of Nigeria, Nsukka, UNN, Dr Gever Verlumun, has won a grant of €3,580 from Germany to support the publication of a special issue of the Ianna Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies.
Speaking with journalists in an online chat, he said the special edition of the journal is titled, “Digital Media and Research in 21st Century Society: Assessing Current Trends and Projecting the Future.”
“The grant is awarded by the Centre for Advanced Internet Studies, Bochum, Germany. The grant’s monetary value is € 3,580, which covers editing, printing, archiving, promotions, and distribution. The money will not be released to me. Instead, I will have to deliver on the publication and ask for a reimbursement. I consider the special issue theme important because digital media and modern technologies have continued to play huge roles in influencing different aspects of contemporary society.
Verlumun has been ranked as Nigeria’s number one communication scholar based on his publications in Scopus Scival author ranking of the top 500 scholars in Nigeria.
