Editor-in-Chief's Message

R. Praveen Kumar, Editor-in-Chief

"Sustainability research too often gets trapped inside disciplinary silos — a materials scientist and a policy economist rarely read the same journal, even when they are solving the same problem. IJSTS exists to close that gap. We built a rigorous, double-blind, Open Access platform where a nanomaterials paper, a circular-economy framework, and an SDG policy analysis can sit in the same issue and speak to the same global challenge.

In our launch year, we are waiving all Article Processing Charges so that the quality of the science — not the size of a research budget — determines what gets published. I invite you to submit your most rigorous, most consequential work."
