These topics aim to cover theoretical, experimental, and applied research, ensuring the journal remains a leading platform for innovation in sustainable energy and environmental sciences.

Manuscripts can be submitted through the journal’s online submission system. Detailed guidelines are available on the journal's website under the "Submission Guidelines" section.

The journal accepts original research articles, review articles, case studies, and short communications related to sustainable energy and the environment.

No, Advances in Sustainable Energies and Environment (A-SEE) is completely free of charge. There are no charges for submission, peer review, or publication. This policy ensures that authors can share their research without any financial constraints, supporting equitable access to scholarly publishing.

The review process typically takes 4–8 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and the complexity of the manuscript.

A-SEE supports open-access publishing, ensuring all published articles are freely accessible to the public under the specified licensing terms.

Authors can log in to their accounts in the submission system to track the progress of their manuscripts.

Yes, but the withdrawal must be requested bt the corresponding author in writing to the editorial office via email and should occur before the manuscript enters the final stages of production.

The journal employs plagiarism detection software. Manuscripts with significant levels of plagiarism will be rejected immediately.

For any inquiries, you can reach the editorial office via email (A-SEE@mazust.ac.ir).
