JOURNAL HISTORY

Asian Health, Science and Technology Reports (AHSTR) traces back to 1992 as the Naresuan University Journal: Science and Technology (NUJST), initially published in Thai. NUJST transitioned to English publication starting with Volume 26, Issue 4, in October-December 2018. In 2024, after a productive journey spanning over three decades, NUJST underwent a significant transformation. It rebranded as AHSTR, commencing with Volume 32, Issue 1, to better reflect its expanded scope encompassing the interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary fields of Health, Science, and Technology. To ensure accurate international indexing and registration, the journal's ISSN number was revised to ISSN: 3027-7167 (Online) following the name change.
