Availability of materials and data
An inherent principle of publication is that others should be able to replicate and build upon the authors' published claims. Therefore, a condition of publication in AJESMS is that authors are required to make materials, data and associated protocols promptly available to readers without undue qualifications in material transfer agreements. Any restrictions on the availability of materials or information must be disclosed to the publishing team at the time of submission. Supporting data must be made available to Editorial Board Members and reviewers at the time of submission for the purposes of evaluating the manuscript. Reviewers may be asked to comment on the terms of access to materials, methods and/or data sets; AJESMS reserves the right to refuse publication in cases where authors do not provide adequate assurances that they can comply with the publication's requirements for sharing materials.
After publication, readers who encounter refusal by the authors to comply with these policies should contact the AJESMS publishing team. In cases where we are unable to resolve a complaint, the matter may be referred to the authors' funding institution and/or a formal statement of correction may be published, attached online to the publication, stating that readers have been unable to obtain necessary materials to replicate the findings.

Inquiry-Based Experimental Design for Enhancement of Teaching and Learning of Chemistry Concepts
Abstract
Chemistry concepts to be well learned by students, there might be a conducive learning environment and this is due to the approach employed by educators. This review then is about inquiry-based experiment design as an innovative teaching and learning tool that enhances chemistry instruction. By collecting all related kinds of literature, we used Google Scholar, ERIC, and Web of Science database. The conclusion of this literature review revealed that effective implementation of inquiry-based experiment design enhances the teaching and learning of chemistry concepts. It is also recommended that chemistry educators could be trained on the professional use of the approach for the good classroom implication and students’ understanding of the concepts learned. Further studies should focus on the use of inquiry-based experiment design in the teaching and learning chemistry concepts.
