Aim & Scope
The Annals of Environmental Science and Natural Resources is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access platform for the publication of research and review articles covering all areas of environmental science, ecology, and natural resource management. The journal’s primary aim is to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers dedicated to the study, protection, and sustainable management of the environment and natural ecosystems in all their diversity.
Purpose of the Journal
The journal seeks to promote scientific understanding of the environment — from biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem dynamics to conservation and sustainability — while encouraging research that has direct implications for environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, and responsible resource utilization.
It provides a space for the dissemination of studies that address key global challenges such as pollution control, climate change, habitat degradation, biodiversity loss, renewable energy transition, and sustainable development policies.
Scope of the Journal
Research areas covered by the journal include (but are not limited to):
- Environmental Chemistry and Pollution Studies – Air, water, and soil contamination, remediation technologies, and environmental toxicology.
- Climate Change and Atmospheric Sciences – Climate modeling, greenhouse gas emissions, and global change impacts.
- Ecology and Biodiversity Conservation – Population ecology, habitat restoration, and species conservation strategies.
- Natural Resource Management – Sustainable use of forests, water, minerals, and agricultural resources.
- Renewable and Sustainable Energy – Solar, wind, bioenergy, and clean technology development.
- Environmental Health and Risk Assessment – Human and ecological exposure studies, health impacts, and safety standards.
- Geosciences and Earth Systems – Land use, soil sciences, hydrology, and environmental geology.
- Waste Management and Circular Economy – Recycling, resource recovery, and sustainable waste technologies.
- Environmental Policy and Governance – Sustainability policies, environmental economics, and legal frameworks.
- Sustainable Agriculture and Food Systems – Soil fertility, agroecology, and resource-efficient farming practices.
The journal encourages submissions that integrate multiple scientific disciplines to address complex environmental, ecological, and sustainability challenges.
Types of Studies Considered
The journal accepts:
- Empirical and experimental studies

Ethical Standards and Review Process
All research involving environmental data, fieldwork, or biological sampling must comply with international ethical and regulatory standards for environmental and ecological research. Authors must include a statement confirming that necessary permissions, approvals, and ethical considerations were obtained for field studies or environmental impact assessments.
The journal follows a double-blind peer-review process, ensuring impartial evaluation of all submissions. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent experts for originality, scientific validity, and significance.
The editorial board upholds the standards of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and ensures that all published content meets the highest level of academic and ethical integrity.
Target Audience
The Annals of Environmental Science and Natural Resources caters to:
- Environmental scientists and ecologists
- Climate researchers and sustainability experts
- Policy professionals and environmental managers
- Conservationists and biodiversity specialists
- Academicians, educators, and environmental engineers
By bringing together research from across disciplines, the journal aims to support the global scientific community in understanding, conserving, and sustainably managing the planet’s natural resources and ecosystems.
