Scope and Themes

The Journal of Sustainable Chemical Sciences and Technologies is a multidisciplinary platform dedicated to advancing sustainability through the integration of chemical, biological, and forensic sciences. It promotes innovative research and collaborative approaches that address global sustainability challenges — from green chemistry and eco-biotechnology to environmentally responsible forensic methodologies and laboratory practices.

Core Themes

  • Green Chemistry and Sustainable Chemical Materials – Development of eco-friendly and sustainable protocols, chemicals, reagents, molecules, polymers, and materials that minimize environmental impact and promote circular economy principles.
  • Ethical and Sustainable Laboratory Practices – Strategies for reducing waste, energy consumption, and carbon footprint in research and education.
  • Sustainable Biological Innovations – Application of biotechnology, microbiology, and bio-based systems to promote environmental health and resource regeneration.
  • Medicinal Chemistry and Chemical Biology – Studies on molecular interactions with biological systems to support health and sustainable drug design.
  • Eco-toxicology and Environmental Forensics – Understanding and mitigating the biological and chemical impacts of pollutants, contaminants, and hazardous materials on ecosystems and human health.
  • Forensic Chemistry and Biology – Toxicology, DNA profiling, and environmentally responsible forensic practices.
  • Interdisciplinary Sustainability Solutions – Development of collaborative strategies where chemistry, biology, and forensic science converge to address complex environmental challenges and advance the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Article Types

  • Research Articles: The original research articles are detailed studies with noble findings. The maximum length of this type of article is 6,000 words, excluding figures, tables, and references. The manuscript should include a minimum of three figures, two tables, and a reference list comprising 40 to 60 sources. The article should contain an abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and conclusions. Results and discussion can either be combined or presented separately.
  • Review Articles: A comprehensive analysis of specific subject areas relevant to the journal scopes. The maximum length of a review article is 7,500 words, excluding figures, tables, and references. The manuscript should include a minimum of three figures, two tables, and a reference list comprising 60 to 100 sources.
  • Case Studies: A real-world application based on the commonly known methods; however, the studies should have wider fundamental relevance and applications. The maximum length of a case study is 4,500 words, excluding figures, tables, and references. The manuscript should include a minimum of two figures, one table, and a reference list comprising 30 to 40 sources.
  • News & Views (By invitation only): A concise analysis of current scientific developments, breakthroughs, or trends in a particular field. Limited to 2,000 words.

Publication Frequency

  • The journal follows a continuous publication model, which means that articles are published online as soon as they are finalized. This approach avoids delays typical of traditional issue-based publishing.
  • The article publication date corresponds to the date it is first made available online as the final version of record. The issue publication dates are for organizational purposes only.
  • All articles published within a calendar year are compiled into two volumes.
