About the Journal

Journal of Integrated Sciences and Agriculture (JISA)

The Journal of Integrated Sciences and Agriculture (JISA) is an international, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing scholarship at the intersections of agricultural sciences, natural sciences, environmental systems, engineering, computational sciences, social sciences, and health sciences. The journal promotes integrated and systems-oriented research capable of addressing the complex global challenges shaping agriculture, environment, and society in the twenty-first century.

JISA places special emphasis on interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary research that connects scientific innovation with practical solutions for sustainable development, climate resilience, food security, environmental sustainability, technological transformation, and human and ecosystem wellbeing. The journal seeks to foster collaboration among scientists, engineers, economists, environmentalists, health professionals, policymakers, and development practitioners working across diverse geographical, institutional, and socio-economic contexts.

The journal aims to bridge foundational sciences with applied agricultural and environmental systems by integrating knowledge from biological sciences, crop and soil sciences, veterinary sciences, water sciences, engineering, data science, economics, public health, and One Health frameworks. JISA particularly welcomes research that contributes to evidence-based decision-making, sustainable resource management, technological advancement, and resilient agri-food systems at local, regional, and global scales.

JISA maintains a global scope and follows a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure high standards of scientific quality, originality, methodological rigor, and ethical integrity. The journal encourages multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and systems-based approaches that integrate scientific, technological, environmental, and socio-economic perspectives.
