Types of Articles:

Reviews:
Summary of reported research in the areas covered by this journal. Journal of Sustainable Science and Transformative Research - Reviews & Letters encourages mini-reviews that propose new and thought-provoking ideas or challenge accepted opinions. Section headings should be concise and informative. The content of the articles should be academically inquisitive, providing a critical analysis of the research. Avoid neutral or observational comments that only state what has been reported in the cited work. Instead, go beyond and identify research gaps, limitations, and opportunities for further investigation.

Letters:
A concise and factual viewpoint, limited to 1000 words, is required. The purpose of the letter should be briefly stated. Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided. If necessary, they must be defined when first mentioned in the article itself.

Main Text:

Introduction:
Background description of the work and its objectives.

Methods:
A brief description of the methods/techniques used. Principles of these methods should not be described if easily accessible references or standard texts can be referenced.

Results and Discussion:
Clear presentation of experimental results, highlighting any trends or points of interest.

Data:
Authors are encouraged to make the dataset underlying their paper available for access. Data can be uploaded as supplementary materials with the submission or provided via a URL to a public repository. Data should be presented in a readable and reusable format. If access restrictions apply, include a statement specifying the conditions of access and permitted reuse of the data. For review papers, the paper's organization may differ, but an in-depth critical discussion is essential for acceptance.

Nomenclature and Units:
Use widely understood terminology and notation. Spell out abbreviations and acronyms at their first occurrence in the text. SI units are recommended, but if non-SI units are necessary, provide their SI equivalents or conversion factors. Use "litre" and "metre" instead of "liter" and "meter." Use decimal points instead of commas in numbers. Italicize variables in equations.

Artwork:
Figures should be embedded and correctly positioned within the Word files. Supply separate graphics files in EPS, TIFF, or PSD formats. Figures should appear in numerical order, be described in the text, and be positioned close to their first citation. Each figure should have a caption describing the illustration. Tables should be submitted as editable text and not as images. Number tables consecutively and place any table notes below the table body.

Conclusions:
A brief explanation of the significance and implications of the work reported.

References in your paper should be from accessible sources. Please ensure that all cited works are included in the reference list and that the dates and authors mentioned in the text match those in the reference list. Provide sufficient detail in your references to enable readers to locate the cited works (see formats below). Keep in mind that your paper may be at risk of rejection if you have too few (<10) or too many (>25) references, or if a significant portion of the references are self-citations.

When citing a reference, use the author's surname and the year of publication, e.g., Jones (2002) or (Jones, 2002). If there are two different authors with the same surname and year of publication, insert their initials as well. When citing multiple references published in the same year by the same author, list them in ascending order with letters a, b, c, etc., e.g., Brown (1999, 2002, 2003a, b).

When citing different references together, arrange them in date order, e.g., (Smith, 1959; Thomson & Jones, 2008; Green, 2015).

If a paper has been accepted for publication but not yet published, use "(in press)" instead of a date. If a paper has been submitted but its acceptance is not confirmed, use "(submitted)". If the paper is still being prepared, use "(in preparation)".

In the text, use the abbreviation "et al." when citing a paper with more than two co-authors.

We recommend using digital object identifiers (DOIs) to link references to the source material. To ensure accuracy, please double-check the provided data when copying references, including surnames, journal/book titles, publication year, and pagination. Include DOIs whenever they are available.

List of References:

Arrange the references in alphabetical order at the end of the paper. While "et al." is acceptable in the text, the list of references should include all authors.
