The National Academy of Inventors, which recently accepted the University of Arkansas as a charter member, edits Technology and Innovation, which presents information encompassing the entire field of applied sciences with a focus on technology and academic innovation, and welcomes manuscripts that meet the general criteria of significance and scientific excellence.

For the special issue, the journal is interested in articles and reviews addressing advancements and improvements of various technologies associated with rural areas. Relevant topics include: inventions or products that originated from the needs of specific rural regions, including agriculture, health care, environmental safety, transportation and communication; and novel applications of region-specific resources, such as alternative fuels, water purification and/or decontamination systems, wind/solar power and unique landscapes.

All submitted articles will be peer-reviewed and are generally written for a multidisciplinary audience.
