Rere Āwhio: Celebrating Continuous Publication and a New Chapter in Applied Research

Rere Āwhio – The Journal of Applied Research and Practice continues to grow, building on the successful release of its print edition and embracing a continuous publication model that enables new research to reach readers sooner.

The journal provides a platform for academics, researchers and industry collaborators to share applied research addressing real-world challenges in New Zealand and internationally.

Following the recent print publication milestone for Issue 5, Issue 6 is now developing under the journal’s continuous publication model. Rather than waiting for a complete issue before publication, individual articles can be released as they are ready, helping new research reach academic and industry audiences more quickly.

Issue 6 already reflects the breadth of applied research being undertaken, with articles including:

• The Value of Transnational Collaborative Capstone Projects for Final-year Information Technology Students: Three Case Studies – exploring the benefits of international collaboration in IT education.
• Assessment of the Integration of Sustainable Materials in Residential Construction Projects in New Zealand: Enablers and Barriers – identifying factors that support or hinder the adoption of sustainable materials in residential construction.
• Rebuilding Public Trust in the New Zealand Digital Media Industry: Explainability, Data Ethics and Governance – examining challenges surrounding transparency, ethics and trust in digital media.
• Machine-Learning Identification of Mosquito Species From Images of Adult Mosquitoes and Larvae – demonstrating a practical application of artificial intelligence and machine learning.

Together, these publications highlight the journal’s commitment to connecting academic research with practical application and industry needs.

As Issue 6 continues to develop, further research will be added through the continuous publication model, creating an evolving collection of applied research available to readers as it becomes ready for publication.
