Journal History

Contact information

The Journal of Applied Life Sciences and Environment (ALSE) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research across the life sciences and environmental disciplines. The journal provides a platform for interdisciplinary studies and innovative approaches relevant to biological, agricultural, and environmental systems. ALSE ensures rigorous peer review and serves a global community of researchers, professionals, and practitioners.

Aims

The journal’s main objective is to promote understanding of mechanisms, processes and interactions of agroecosystems functions with the environment and human life, within the broader field of applied life sciences.

Scope

The journal welcomes original research articles, critical reviews, and applied studies that demonstrate scientific rigour, a sound methodological base, and ethical integrity. ALSE encourages submissions that address both theoretical frameworks and real-world applications, particularly in the context of sustainable development.

The thematic coverage includes, but is not limited to, the following core areas:

Agricultural Sciences and Agronomy
Crop production, soil science, precision farming, irrigation, agroecology, plant protection, and agricultural technologies

Horticultural and Landscape Sciences
Open-field and greenhouse horticulture, ornamental plants, urban green infrastructure, viticulture, and biomass valorisation

Animal Science and Veterinary Health
Animal breeding, nutrition, behaviour, welfare, livestock management, veterinary diagnostics, and zoonotic risks

Food Science and Agro-food Technology
Food processing and packaging, safety management, quality control, agro-biotechnologies, and microbial contamination

Environmental and Resource Management
Climate change adaptation, water and soil resource management, waste treatment, circular economy, and sustainable land use

Submissions must align with the journal’s commitment to interdisciplinary inquiry and responsible research practices. All contributions are subject to a rigorous peer-review process.

Readership

The journal publishes articles intended for a graduate, post-doctoral, and/or professional research audience.
