Aims and Scope:

Current Applied Science and Technology is an international peer-reviewed journal that provides a platform for researchers, scientists, and academicians to share their knowledge and ideas with the broader scientific community in the form of publication. Submissions from researchers, scientists, and academics either in the ASEAN region or around the world are welcomed. High-quality articles covering the main fields in the 4 categories below are considered for publication.

1. Agricultural and Biological Sciences
   
   
• Agricultural and Biological Sciences (miscellaneous)
• Agronomy and Crop Science
• Food Science 
  
  
2. Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology
   
   
• Molecular Biology/Genetic Engineering
• Biotechnology (Microbial, Plant and Animal Biotechnology)

       3. Environmental Science

• • Environmental Science (miscellaneous)
  • Environmental Engineering
    
    

       4. Applied Sciences and Technology emphasizing the application related to the fields of agriculture and biological sciences, biotechnology, or environmental sciences.

 

Types of Published Articles:
  

         1. Research articles:  Original research findings in Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Environmental Science, and Applied Sciences and Technology which are related to the fields of agriculture, biotechnology or environment are considered. Research articles should provide a clear research question, methodology, a clear and concise result, and discussion of the research findings. Conclusions and implications, and contributions of their research finding to the relevant field of study should also be included in the articles.

         2. Review articles: Comprehensive review on a topic in Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Environmental Science, and Applied Sciences and Technology which are related to the fields of agriculture, biotechnology or environment are considered. Review articles should critically analyze and synthesize the up-to-date literature. Furthermore, knowledge gaps should be identified together with the recommendation of future research directions.

         Rigorous and ethical research adheres to the highest standards of scientific integrity should be considered when submitting manuscripts. The submission of articles that present innovative and original research and contribute to developing new theories, methodologies, and techniques are encouraged.

 

Publication Frequency:

Current Applied Science and Technology journal publishes 6 issues per year (online).

Issue 1 (January - February)

Issue 2 (March - April)

Issue 3 (May - June)

Issue 4 (July - August)

Issue 5 (September - October)

Issue 6 (November - December)

In addition, the journal also provides an Online First feature, i.e. Online First Articles are published before they appear in an issue of the journal. This means that the articles completed with a DOI but are not assigned to an issue yet. However, the latest research/review articles are made available online as quickly as possible. The Online First feature can provide benefits to all researchers and users of the journal's online content.

Once an Online First article is assigned to its final issue and given its bibliographic data, such as volume and issue, the hosting of the article online transitions from the Online First listing to that of the completed issue. The article can then be located via the journal's main archive page rather than the Online First page. Citations using either the DOI or the bibliographic data will both resolve to the final article, and the completed article will be the prominent article found when linking into the DOI or article URL.
