sustainability
Aims
Sustainability(ISSN 2071-1050) is an international and cross-disciplinary scholarly journal of envi-ronmental, cultural, economic and social sustainability of human beings, which provides an advanced
forum for studies related to sustainability and sustainable development. It publishes reviews, regular
research papers, communications and short notes, and there is no restriction on the length of the papers.
Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical research relating to
natural sciences, social sciences and humanities in as much detail as possible in order to promote sci-
entific predictions and impact assessments of global change and development. Full experimental and
methodical details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
There are, in addition, unique features of this journal:
- manuscripts regarding research proposals and research ideas will be particularly welcomed
- electronic files or software regarding the full details of the calculation and experimental procedure,
if unable to be published in a normal way, can be deposited as supplementary material - we also accept manuscripts communicating to a broader audience with regard to research projects
financed with public funds
