Journal Web Page Comments: The Journal of Sustainability Science and Management is an Open-Access and peer-reviewed journal aims to publish scientific articles related to sustainable science; i.e. an interaction between natural sciences, social science, technologies and management for sustainable development and wise use of resources. We particularly encourage manuscripts that discuss contemporary research that can be used directly or indirectly in addressing critical issues and sharing of advanced knowledge and best practices in sustainable development.

Handbook comments: This is the only journal we have ever come across in 10 years where a paper was accepted for publication by one editor and then rejected by the new editor prior to publication. Fortunately, after some email exchanges, the paper was finally published after revision. Also, in 2021 we found their website to be horribly slow with links taking over a minute to open (obviously being hosted on a university server).  The following are also some of the most unusual paper lengths we have ever seen: “A full-length research paper is between 8,000 to 15,000 words, a review paper may range between 8,000 to 20,000 words, short communication, monograph or commentary is about 2,000 to 3,000 words, letter to editor is less than 2,000 words, and book review is about 500 to 1,000 words. “ Also, we find the following highly unusual as most papers are assigned digital objective identifiers, not eISSNs….”Accepted manuscripts become the copyright of the journal. In 2019, the journal published all manuscripts with an eISSN number.”  This is another journal that likes to publish papers from their own conferences: Volume 16 Number 2 February 2021-Preview.
