Biodiesel, a type of biofuel is a low-carbon substitute for fossil fuels. It has a flash point of 100 to 170 ℃ and an energy content of 33 MJ/L and can help to mitigate climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This review looked at the properties and benefits of biodiesel and the current situation of Nigeria's biodiesel industry. It examined the various feedstocks, including first-, second-, third- and fourth-generation options, and assesses their availability, viability and cost. The assessment analyzed the industry's challenges as well as the policies and incentives for biodiesel production, and use in Nigeria. Taking into account the cost of production, distribution and use, as well as prospective government subsidies and tax credits, the economic viability of biodiesel was also evaluated. Generally, the biodiesel industry in Nigeria has the potential for growth with the right assistance from the government and private sector.

It is with admiration that we share with you our publication data for the 2022 calendar year for the AIMS Medical Science Journal. It was another successful year with the highest number of publication submissions to date over the past three years. Our depth and breadth of publications spanned multiple basic and clinical science disciplines that originated from talented authors across the globe. We look forward to an exciting year ahead and welcome the opportunity to review original manuscripts for consideration for publication in the journal. Our goals are to provide a forum of high-quality manuscripts that can positively impact the expansion of scientific knowledge and advance the health of our population.
Below is a graphic depiction of the manuscript submission and publication data for the journal for the past three years (Figure 1). There are slightly more submissions that were received in 2022 than in 2021, and the number of accepted and published manuscripts remain stable for the past three years. Our hope is increasing the footprint of quality manuscripts submitted to the journal that will translate into an increased number of high-quality publications for the upcoming year.
2022 manuscripts status:
Publications: 28
Reject rate: 71%
Publication time (from submission to online): 109 days
The geographic distribution of the corresponding authors of the published manuscripts are depicted below (Figure 2). We are honored to attract authors from around the world who chose to submit their research to the journal for publication (USA, Canada, Nigeria, Japan, etc.). Of note the majority of publications originate from authors based in the United States representing 39% of the publications followed by Canada and Nigeria standing at 11% each.
Table 1 depicts the type of manuscripts published. A total of 28 articles were published in 2022, of which, the majority were research based, 12 (43%) followed by reviews, 10 (36%).
