Aims:
The Journal of Marine Sciences and Technology for Sustainable Development (JMSTSD) aims to advance interdisciplinary research in marine sciences, engineering, technology, and maritime systems that contributes to sustainable ocean and coastal development. The journal seeks to promote scientific innovation, technological advancement, and evidence-based solutions that support resilient marine environments, sustainable maritime activities, and a thriving blue economy.
JMSTSD provides an international platform for researchers, engineers, policymakers, and industry professionals to exchange knowledge and develop innovative solutions to emerging challenges in ocean and maritime systems. The journal particularly encourages interdisciplinary research that connects scientific understanding with practical applications for sustainable marine development.
Scope structure:
JMSTSD welcomes high-quality original research articles, review papers, and case studies covering a broad range of interdisciplinary topics related to sustainable ocean and maritime development. The journal is organized into three main sections.
It is noted that the scope of JMSTSD is organized into three hierarchical levels:
Sections (A-C)
. Subject Areas (A-1, A-2)
