Comprehensive Policy Updates
- "In Press" Publication System: All accepted manuscripts that have completed final editing will be listed as "in press" prior to formal publication (starting Volume 8 Issue 2, 2025). Note: "In press" articles refer to peer-reviewed and accepted manuscripts that are fully edited and available online, even though they have not yet been compiled into a complete issue. These articles are citable.
- JESSD no longer accepts case-based or opinion articles. This policy change aims to maintain our focus on empirical research and systematic reviews that contribute significantly to the field of environmental science and sustainable development.
- The maximum waiver for publication fees is 25%, granted under specific conditions and subject to editorial board approval. This policy ensures fair access while maintaining the journal's sustainability and quality standards.
We appreciate your continued support and look forward to receiving your high-quality research contributions to JESSD. For any questions regarding these policy changes, please contact our editorial office.
