Focus and Scope

 

The Journal of Green Science and Technology (JGST) is a peer-reviewed and open-access journal that publishes scholarly works addressing the development, application, and integration of science and engineering for environmental sustainability, resource efficiency, technological innovation, and sustainable development.

JGST provides an interdisciplinary platform for researchers, academics, professionals, and practitioners to disseminate original research and critical review articles related to green technology, sustainable engineering, environmental engineering, renewable energy, sustainable infrastructure, and engineering.

The journal encourages research that contributes to environmentally responsible technologies, efficient use of resources and energy, resilient infrastructure, pollution prevention, climate-responsive development, sustainable industrial processes, and innovative engineering solutions.

Scope of Publications

JGST publishes manuscripts that demonstrate a clear scientific, technological, engineering, environmental, or sustainability contribution.

Manuscripts may include:

  • original research articles;
  • experimental and laboratory studies;
  • field studies;
  • numerical and computational studies;
  • modelling and simulation;
  • engineering design and optimization;
  • case studies with clear scientific contribution;
  • technological development and innovation; and
  • critical review articles that provide substantial synthesis and analysis of current scientific knowledge.

Interdisciplinary studies integrating two or more engineering disciplines are particularly encouraged when they contribute to sustainability, environmental protection, green technology, renewable energy, or sustainable infrastructure.

Manuscripts that are purely descriptive, lack adequate scientific or engineering analysis, or fall outside the journal's focus on sustainability and engineering may be declined during editorial screening.

Language

All manuscripts submitted to the Journal of Green Science and Technology (JGST) must be written in English.
