About the Journal

Published by the Institute of Innovations, operating under the Societal Education and Empowerment Trust.

Overview

The International Journal of Science and Technology for Sustainability (IJSTS) is an international, premier, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed Open Access journal. IJSTS is officially published by the Institute of Innovations, a registered UDYAM organization under the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), Government of India, operating under the aegis of the Societal Education and Empowerment Trust.

IJSTS was established to serve as a universal, boundary-free repository for groundbreaking advancements across all branches of physical, chemical, engineering, computational, and life sciences. The single defining prerequisite for publication is that the work must contribute — directly or indirectly — to solving ecological challenges, accelerating green technological deployment, or reinforcing global sustainability frameworks.

Core Philosophy & Mission

In an increasingly specialized academic landscape, the critical bottlenecks to global sustainability cannot be solved within isolated research silos. True innovation thrives at the intersection of disciplines — where artificial intelligence optimizes renewable power grids, nanotechnology revolutionizes wastewater treatment, and bioprocess engineering shapes circular economic loops.

IJSTS acts as a global catalyst for this convergent knowledge, bridging fundamental laboratory discoveries and scalable, real-world technological applications. Our editorial vision and curation parameters are explicitly mapped against the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
