Manuscript Type

The International Journal of Environmental, Sustainability, and Social Sciences (IJESSS) accepts scholarly manuscripts relevant to its focus and scope, particularly within the fields of Environmental, Sustainability, and Social Sciences and related areas. Manuscripts must demonstrate academic quality, originality, and critical analysis, and provide a meaningful contribution to the development of legal studies.

1. Original Research Article
Original Research Articles present the results of original research in the fields of Environmental, Sustainability, and Social Sciences or related areas. Manuscripts may employ quantitative/statistical research methods using survey or secondary data, while qualitative studies may involve case studies, focus group discussions, interviews, and similar methods. Research articles generally consist of an abstract, introduction, methodology, results, discussion, and a list of references.

2. Review Article
Review Articles critically examine and synthesize existing scholarly literature, research theories, or developments within specific areas of Environmental, Sustainability, and Social Sciences. Manuscripts must identify significant debates or research gaps and provide meaningful insights for future legal research.

3. Systematic Review
Systematic Review articles examine existing research through a structured, transparent, and replicable review process. Authors are required to outline their research questions, information sources, search strategies, inclusion and exclusion criteria, selection process, and synthesis methods. Such reviews must provide a critical assessment of the relevant literature.

4. Conceptual Article
Conceptual Articles develop or critically examine concepts, theories, principles, and analytical frameworks. Manuscripts must present a clear theoretical foundation, coherent reasoning within the context of Environmental, Sustainability, and Social Sciences, and an original contribution to discussions concerning constitutional law or related fields.

5. Case Comment / Case Analysis
A case study is a detailed report on a real-life incident, event, or experience involving an individual or a group, often used as a concrete example in academic learning. Such studies typically focus on a single, compelling, or unique case—grounded in the author’s own real-world experience or objective observation—and are of significant interest to practitioners. It is essential that a case study remains objective and non-promotional; it may explore new programmatic approaches, best practices, or organizational structures. Case studies must incorporate adequate references to prior research to provide context and establish a foundation based on existing knowledge.
