INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SUSTAINABILITY RESEARCH

The International Journal of Sustainability Research (IJSR) with ISSN 3121- 9314 is a scholarly, peer-reviewed publication devoted to advancing knowledge, policy, and practical solutions in the field of sustainability. The journal provides an interdisciplinary platform where researchers, academics, practitioners, and policymakers share ideas and findings that address the complex relationship between environmental protection, economic development, and social well-being. Its central focus is to promote research that supports long-term human development without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs. The journal recognises that sustainability is not limited to environmental conservation alone but involves a balanced integration of ecological integrity, economic productivity, and social equity. Consequently, it publishes theoretical, empirical, and review articles from diverse disciplines including environmental science, management, economics, public policy, engineering, health sciences, and social sciences. Topics covered include climate change mitigation and adaptation, renewable energy, green technology innovation, waste management, circular economy, biodiversity conservation, sustainable agriculture, and environmental health. In addition, the journal explores sustainable business practices such as corporate social responsibility, sustainable entrepreneurship, green finance, responsible production and consumption, and environmental governance.

Beyond environmental and economic concerns, the journal places significant emphasis on social sustainability. It encourages research on community development, sustainable urban planning, public health, education for sustainable development, gender equality, poverty reduction, and inclusive growth. Studies examining governance frameworks, environmental regulations, and institutional strategies that support sustainability initiatives are also welcomed. Through this broad scope, the journal aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice and to contribute to effective policy formulation at local, national, and global levels. The International Journal of Sustainability Research operates a double-blind peer review process to ensure academic quality and credibility. Submitted manuscripts are first screened by the editorial team for relevance, originality, and compliance with submission guidelines. Suitable manuscripts are then evaluated by independent reviewers who assess methodological soundness, contribution to knowledge, clarity of presentation, and ethical standards. Authors may be requested to revise their work based on reviewers’ comments before final acceptance. This rigorous process guarantees that only high-quality and impactful research is published.

The journal follows an open access policy, allowing readers worldwide to freely access all published articles without subscription barriers. This approach promotes wider dissemination of knowledge, encourages academic collaboration, and supports global participation in sustainability discourse. Authors retain copyright of their work while granting publication rights to the journal, typically under a Creative Commons licensing framework that allows proper use and citation of the material. To maintain academic integrity, all submissions are screened using plagiarism detection software, and manuscripts with unacceptable similarity levels are rejected. Ethical standards concerning authorship, conflict of interest disclosure, and responsible research practices are strictly enforced.
