The journal publishes high-quality original research articles, systematic reviews, short communications, case studies, policy analyses, and perspectives that address environmental processes, human, environment interactions, and sustainability transitions at local, regional, and global scales. Journal of Environmental Sciences and Sustainability welcomes contributions from environmental scientists, ecologists, chemists, engineers, geographers, policymakers, economists, urban planners, and social scientists working toward resilient and sustainable environmental systems.
Journal of Environmental Sciences and Sustainability covers a broad spectrum of topics including environmental chemistry and toxicology, air and water quality, soil science, waste management, pollution control technologies, environmental monitoring and modeling, biodiversity conservation, ecosystem services, climate adaptation and mitigation, renewable and sustainable energy systems, circular economy, sustainable agriculture, natural resource management, environmental risk assessment, and sustainability indicators. The journal also emphasizes interdisciplinary research that integrates environmental science with public policy, governance, environmental economics, social equity, and sustainable development goals.
Each submitted manuscript undergoes a rigorous single-blind peer-review process conducted by independent experts to ensure scientific rigor, originality, ethical standards, and societal relevance. As an open-access journal, all published articles are freely available to researchers, practitioners, decision-makers, educators, and communities worldwide, facilitating the rapid dissemination and application of environmental knowledge.
Journal of Environmental Sciences and Sustainability is particularly committed to amplifying research from underrepresented regions and promoting studies that address environmental challenges in vulnerable and resource-limited communities. By fostering collaboration across disciplines and sectors, the journal aims to transform evidence-based research into actionable strategies that support environmental stewardship and long-term sustainability.
In an era where environmental sustainability is central to global well-being and economic resilience, Journal of Environmental Sciences and Sustainability serves as a vital forum for innovation, dialogue, and impact, empowering researchers and practitioners to shape a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future for generations to come.
