About the Journal

BioSuSS: Journal of Biological and Sustainability Sciences is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing interdisciplinary research at the interface of life sciences and sustainability. The journal serves as a global platform for scholars, practitioners, and policymakers working to understand, protect, and harness biological systems for a more sustainable future. By bridging the gaps between biological sciences, environmental systems, and societal needs, BioSuSS encourages research that contributes directly to the goals of climate resilience, ecosystem conservation, green innovation, and sustainable development. Our commitment is to publish research that is scientifically rigorous, globally relevant, and impactful across both academic and applied domains. BioSuSS invites contributions from across the biological and environmental sciences, with particular interest in work that explores sustainable solutions to real-world challenges, whether in agriculture, biotechnology, ecological restoration, or bioresource management.

 

Scope of the Journal

BioSuSS publishes original and high-quality research that integrates biological understanding with sustainable practices. The scope includes experimental, theoretical, modeling, and policy-oriented work, from micro-scale biological innovation to large-scale environmental systems. We welcome submissions that explore the interconnection of biology with sustainability sciences, drawing on cross-disciplinary approaches and cutting-edge technologies.

 

The journal is particularly interested in studies that:

  • Apply biological principles to address environmental or resource-related challenges
  • Promote sustainable solutions through bio-innovation, conservation, or restoration
  • Investigate circular bioeconomy practices and ecosystem service optimization
  • Explore sustainable agriculture, food systems, and biodiversity protection
  • Evaluate environmental and social impacts of biological and biotechnological advancements

 

Key Topics Covered

BioSuSS encourages submissions in (but not limited to) the following areas:

  • Sustainable agriculture and agroecology
  • Climate-resilient crops and plant biotechnology
  • Soil and microbial ecology for sustainability
  • Biological wastewater treatment and bioremediation
  • Green biotechnology and bio-based materials
  • Environmental microbiology and molecular ecology
  • Circular bioeconomy and sustainable bioresource use
  • Biodiversity conservation and habitat restoration
  • Bioenergy and waste-to-resource innovations
  • Ecosystem services, nature-based solutions, and resilience
  • Socio-biological dimensions of sustainable development
  • Life-cycle assessments in bio-based systems
  • Urban ecology and sustainable land-use planning

 

Aims and Objectives

The primary aim of BioSuSS is to foster a deeper understanding of how biological sciences can be applied to achieve sustainable outcomes for society and the environment. Our goal is to promote transdisciplinary research that goes beyond academic boundaries and contributes to meaningful, scalable change.

 

Specifically, the journal aims to

  • Provide an inclusive platform for researchers across life and environmental sciences.
  • Encourage innovations that bridge biology, sustainability, and societal needs.
  • Disseminate scientific knowledge that supports the famous UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  • Advance open science and global collaboration for sustainable development.
  • Promote the integration of traditional knowledge, modern science, and policy frameworks.
  • Serve as a resource for practitioners and decision-makers seeking evidence-based guidance.

Types of Articles Published

BioSuSS publishes a range of scholarly works to support broad scientific exchange and encourage knowledge across disciplines:

 

  • Original Research Articles: Full-length studies presenting new experimental, analytical, or theoretical findings
  • Review Articles: Critical, systematic reviews of recent advances or emerging topics in biological and sustainability sciences
  • Perspectives and Commentaries: Scholarly insights or short essays that address conceptual, methodological, or policy-related issues
  • Case Studies: Real-world applications or interventions demonstrating sustainability impacts at community, regional, or global levels
  • Technical Notes: Brief reports introducing novel methods, tools, or datasets
  • Short Communications: Concise reports of significant, time-sensitive findings or innovative pilot results
  • Special Issues: Thematic collections on emerging topics in biology and sustainability, edited by guest scholars

 

BioSuSS invites submissions from researchers worldwide, especially those working at the intersection of biology, sustainability, and real-world application. All manuscripts are subject to rigorous peer review, and we strongly encourage cross-sectoral and collaborative work that advances actionable science.
