Aims and Scope

Research published in The Journal of Himalayan Greenprint studies how environmental systems and resources are used in the actual world. This includes exploring how various factors like ecological processes interact with the decisions humans make, the institutions they create and operate, and the policies that are created around those institutions.

The Journal of Himalayan Greenprint aims to:

  • Publish studies based on field data, experiments, modeling, or clearly defined analytical methods

  • Support research that addresses environmental change without reducing complexity

  • Encourage work that links ecological findings to management and policy questions

  • Preserve argument clarity and methodological transparency.

The following categories of submissions are taken into consideration by the journal:

  • Ecology and biodiversity conservation

  • Environmental management and land-use systems

  • Climate change and glaciology

  • Forestry and wildlife studies

  • Soil science and sustainable agriculture

  • Hydrology and water resources

  • Systems of renewable energy

  • Indigenous understanding of the environment and environmental policies

Single-discipline studies are welcome. Interdisciplinary work is reviewed on the strength of its integration, not its breadth. Claims must follow evidence. Methods must be stated. Conclusions must remain within the limits of the data.
