Aims & Scope

The International Journal of Environmental Research ( IJER ) is an international and multidisciplinary platform for researchers across the globe to swiftly publish, share and discuss new findings and developments in environmental science, engineering, and management. IJER is an interdisciplinary journal concerned with all aspects of the environment. These include but are not limited to air, water, wastewater, solid waste, soil, pollution, aquatic environment, biodiversity, hazards and disasters, environmental management, policy and regulations, energy and climate change. Priority consideration will be given to studies that significantly advance the understanding of topics concerning the environment. Articles that merely replicate known knowledge or techniques will not be considered by the IJER editorial board. The submission of studies which are not incremental, limited in novelty, or restricted to local conditions are encouraged.
