Aims and Scope

The International Journal of Applied Science and Sustainable Development (IJASSD) is an international, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing knowledge at the intersection of applied science and sustainable development. The journal aims to publish high-quality, original research that contributes to solving complex global challenges through innovative, interdisciplinary, and sustainability-oriented approaches.

IJASSD prioritizes studies that explicitly address sustainability dimensions, environmental integrity, social equity and economic viability while offering practical, scalable, and evidence-based solutions. The journal particularly encourages contributions that integrate theoretical advancement with real-world application, policy relevance, and technological innovation.

Scope of the Journal

The journal welcomes multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research across applied sciences, provided that the contribution demonstrates a clear linkage to sustainable development. Key areas include, but are not limited to:

1. Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems

Research addressing resilient agricultural practices, food security, agroecology, biotechnology for sustainability, soil and water conservation and sustainable agribusiness systems.

2. Environmental Sustainability and Climate Action

Studies on climate change mitigation and adaptation, ecosystem management, biodiversity conservation, pollution control, circular economy, and environmental governance.

3. Sustainable Health and Well-being

Research in public health, medicine, and biomedical sciences that contributes to long-term human well-being, health system resilience, and equitable healthcare access within a sustainability framework.

4. Biological and Life Sciences for Sustainability

Advances in biological sciences including ecology, genetics, microbiology, and biotechnology that support environmental sustainability, conservation, and sustainable resource use.

5. Engineering, Technology, and Sustainable Innovation

Innovative engineering solutions, green technologies, artificial intelligence, smart systems, renewable energy, and sustainable infrastructure designed to address global sustainability challenges.

6. Mathematics, Modelling, and Data Science for Sustainability

Applied mathematics, statistical modelling, computational methods, and data-driven approaches that support decision-making and problem-solving in sustainability contexts.

7. Social, Economic, and Governance Dimensions of Sustainability

Interdisciplinary studies in economics, management, accounting, public policy, law, and social sciences that examine governance systems, institutional quality, behavioral aspects, and policy interventions related to sustainable development.

Interdisciplinary Emphasis

IJASSD strongly encourages integrative research that bridges multiple disciplines to address complex sustainability issues. Submissions that demonstrate cross-sector collaboration, systems thinking, and transdisciplinary approaches are given particular consideration.
