Interdisciplinary Research
Research connecting environmental challenges with engineering, economics, health, social sciences, planning, technology and public policy is within the journal's scope.
Climate and health, smart agriculture, sustainable cities, environmental justice, circular economy and rural innovation are examples of relevant interdisciplinary areas.
05
Scientific and Ethical Expectations
Studies should clearly define the research problem and environmental context and justify data collection and analytical procedures scientifically.
Research involving living materials, environmental sampling, land use, local communities or activities requiring ethical authorization should comply with relevant permissions and standards.
Transparent reporting of environmental impacts, sustainability dimensions and potential conflicts of interest is encouraged where appropriate.
Scope assessment
Falling within Environment, Agriculture and Sustainability does not in itself guarantee external peer review or publication. Submissions are also assessed editorially for originality, scientific quality, methodological adequacy, ethical compliance and scholarly contribution.
