Engineering and sustainable development are intrinsically linked, and truly sustainable solutions are created through sharing ideas and new knowledge.
The International Journal of Sustainable Engineering (IJSE) aims to provide engineers from a variety of backgrounds with access to a valuable source of cross-disciplinary information for promoting sustainable practices. One of the principle objectives of the journal is to stimulate innovation and development of sustainable products and production technologies, as well as novel services and business models. A key consideration is also to encourage the generation of timely, effective regulations and educational programmes to support various corporate and social stakeholders from engineers to managers, and from policy makers to consumers. As such, IJSE invites original manuscripts in areas including but not limited to:
Methodologies, Modelling and Manageme nt
Engineering design for sustainable development
Life-cycle engineering
Product versus service paradigms
Sustainable supply chain management
Sustainable business models
Novel organisational structures and systems to support industrial sustainability
Technologies, Processes and Resources
Sustainable technology innovation to support resource efficiency
Sustainable material development and process engineering
Energy conservation and low-carbon manufacturing
Waste minimisation, remanufacturing, reuse and recycling technologies
Sustainable power generation and renewable energy technologies
Legislation, Education and Corporate Social Factors
Environmental management and ISO standards
Producer responsibility and ecologically aware legislations
Promoting sustainable use and consumption models
Engineering solutions for developing countries
Engineering education for sustainable development
Submission and Reviewing Process:
In addition to standard manuscript formats, we also accept submissions in the form of Short Communications and Book Reviews. Short Communications provide an opportunity for prompt fast-track publication of brief manuscripts that do not exceed 2000 words and 4 illustrations. Book Reviews will be 500-600 words in length and cover emerging texts relevant to practitioners and researchers within sustainable development.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind and submission is online via ScholarOne Manuscripts.
