Authors are invited to submit original and high-quality scholarly manuscripts to Journal of Pollution Mitigation and Sustainable Technology. Manuscripts should demonstrate a clear contribution to pollution prevention, environmental remediation, waste reduction, resource recovery, environmental monitoring, circular technology, or sustainable environmental systems.
Manuscripts must present original scholarly work that has not been published previously and is not simultaneously under consideration by another journal.
Submissions should demonstrate a substantive contribution to one or more of the journal's principal areas: Pollution Prevention and Mitigation Technologies, Environmental Treatment and Remediation, Waste Management, Resource Recovery and Circular Technology, or Environmental Monitoring, Digital Technologies and Sustainable Systems.
Manuscripts focused primarily on generic environmental assessment, artificial intelligence, materials characterization, energy systems, or sustainability indicators should clearly demonstrate their relevance to pollution mitigation, environmental treatment, resource recovery, remediation, or sustainable environmental technology.
The journal applies a double-anonymous peer review process. Manuscripts submitted for review must not contain author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, or other information that directly identifies the authors.
Full author names, affiliations, countries, email addresses, and ORCID identifiers should be entered separately in the OJS metadata.
Manuscripts should be submitted in an editable word-processing format and should follow the official journal template where available.
The title should be concise, specific, technically informative, and accurately reflect the pollution, treatment, remediation, waste-management, monitoring, or sustainability issue investigated.
Complete author metadata must be entered through OJS, including full name, institutional affiliation, country, email address, and ORCID identifier where available.
The abstract should normally contain approximately 150–250 words and summarize the research problem, objective, methods, principal findings, and major environmental, technological, or sustainability implications.
Authors should provide 3–6 keywords that accurately represent the principal pollution, remediation, treatment, waste-management, monitoring, circular-economy, or sustainability concepts of the study.
The Introduction should establish the environmental, scientific, technological, industrial, or societal context of the study; define the pollution or sustainability problem; identify the research or technology gap; state the objectives or research questions; and clearly explain the novelty and significance of the work.
Authors should critically engage with relevant national and international scientific literature rather than merely listing previous studies.
Where relevant, the manuscript should explain pollution pathways, contaminant behavior, treatment mechanisms, remediation principles, resource-recovery technologies, monitoring approaches, circular-economy concepts, or sustainability frameworks used in the research.
The technical background should clearly establish how the study advances existing knowledge, environmental performance, or sustainable technology.
The methodology should provide sufficient detail to allow readers to understand, evaluate, and where appropriate reproduce the research.
Results should be presented clearly and should correspond directly to the research objectives or hypotheses.
Quantitative studies should report appropriate values, units, statistical measures, uncertainty, repeatability, or confidence information where relevant.
Treatment efficiencies, pollution-reduction rates, environmental concentrations, resource-recovery performance, lifecycle impacts, or sustainability indicators should be presented transparently and compared with appropriate benchmarks or previous studies.
The Discussion should interpret the findings in relation to pollution mechanisms, treatment performance, environmental significance, resource efficiency, technology feasibility, sustainability, and relevant published literature.
The Conclusion should directly reflect the principal findings and clearly state their environmental, technological, operational, economic, or sustainability significance.
Recommendations for researchers, technology developers, industries, environmental managers, communities, regulators, or policymakers should be supported by the evidence presented.
Study limitations, uncertainty, applicability boundaries, and directions for future research should be stated where appropriate.
Authors should provide the following information where applicable:
Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, authenticity, originality, methodological validity, ethical compliance, and interpretation of all submitted research materials.
Research involving environmental monitoring data, industrial records, satellite datasets, sensor information, proprietary technologies, field measurements, or restricted environmental data should comply with applicable confidentiality, ethical, legal, and institutional requirements.
Artificial intelligence systems and generative AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Substantive use of AI in writing, coding, environmental prediction, pollution classification, remote sensing, optimization, digital twins, image analysis, or literature synthesis should be disclosed where relevant.
Tables, figures, diagrams, treatment schematics, environmental maps, satellite images, pollutant-distribution plots, process-flow diagrams, numerical outputs, lifecycle charts, and other technical materials should be clearly numbered, titled, and cited in the manuscript text.
Units, symbols, legends, sampling locations, scales, axes, classifications, and relevant environmental parameters should be clearly defined.
Authors are responsible for ensuring that figures, maps, images, industrial photographs, and reproduced materials comply with copyright, confidentiality, and permission requirements.
References should be relevant, scientifically credible, and sufficient to establish the current state of knowledge.
Authors are encouraged to engage with recent peer-reviewed international literature together with appropriate foundational research.
Relevant standards, environmental regulations, technical reports, international guidelines, and policy documents may be cited where appropriate.
Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) should be provided whenever available. References suggested or generated by AI systems must be independently verified.
Citation manipulation, fabricated references, unnecessary self-citation, and irrelevant citation practices are not acceptable. Reference formatting should follow the official journal template.
Manuscripts first undergo editorial screening for scope, originality, scholarly contribution, technical validity, methodological quality, ethical compliance, and adherence to submission requirements.
Manuscripts that pass screening may proceed to double-anonymous peer review by at least two independent reviewers .
Authors receiving a revision decision should respond point-by-point to reviewer and editor comments and clearly identify changes made in the revised manuscript.
Submission of a revised manuscript does not guarantee acceptance. Final publication decisions remain the responsibility of the editorial team.
Following acceptance, manuscripts may undergo copyediting, technical and metadata verification, reference checking, layout preparation, proofreading, and other production procedures before publication.
