Judging Criteria

The initial round of papers are further reviewed for their level of sophistication and content; this phase of submission review ensures that papers are evaluated fairly and equally.

Guidelines for Authors: Scope of Submissions

The International Journal of Innovative Science, Technology and Society (IJSTS) welcomes original, high-quality research articles, review papers, short communications, technical reports, and interdisciplinary studies from students, educators, researchers, and professionals worldwide.

IJSTS publishes scholarly work that advances knowledge in science, technology, engineering, medicine, humanities, and social sciences. The journal particularly encourages innovative, interdisciplinary, and application-oriented research that contributes to scientific discovery, technological advancement, public health, education, business, policy, and society.

All submitted manuscripts undergo editorial screening followed by peer review by qualified subject experts. Acceptance is based on the originality, academic quality, significance, clarity, methodology, ethical standards, and relevance of the research. Authors are strongly encouraged to obtain comments from mentors, colleagues, or academic advisors before submission.
