Aims and Scope
The Journal of Integrated Sciences and Agriculture (JISA) is an international, multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing scientific knowledge and innovative solutions at the intersection of agricultural, natural, environmental, engineering, computational, social, and health sciences. The journal is founded on the understanding that contemporary global challenges include food insecurity, climate change, biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, water scarcity, energy insecurity, emerging diseases, and socio-economic inequalities require integrated, systems-oriented, and interdisciplinary approaches.
JISA aims to serve as a global platform for high-quality research that bridges foundational sciences with applied systems and policy-relevant innovation. The journal promotes scientific inquiry that integrates agriculture, environment, technology, engineering, data science, economics, and health within sustainable development and One Health frameworks. Emphasis is placed on analytical rigor, methodological innovation, sustainability, resilience, and evidence-based solutions that support resilient agri-food, environmental, and socio-technical systems.
The journal welcomes original research articles, review papers, short communications, technical notes, methodological contributions, case studies, and policy-oriented analyses in, but not limited to, the following thematic areas:

JISA places particular emphasis on interdisciplinary and systems-based research that connects scientific disciplines to address real-world challenges facing agriculture, environment, technology, health, and society. The journal strongly encourages collaboration among agricultural scientists, engineers, environmental researchers, veterinarians, economists, technologists, health professionals, policymakers, and social scientists.
Research focusing on sustainability, climate resilience, digital transformation, renewable energy, water and food security, biodiversity conservation, environmental governance, technological innovation, and equitable socio-economic development is especially encouraged.
By integrating disciplines such as agricultural sciences, biological sciences, environmental sciences, engineering, physical sciences, water sciences, mathematics, statistics, health sciences, and socio-economic research, JISA seeks to foster innovative scholarship that bridges science, technology, policy, and society. The journal aspires to generate scientifically robust, globally relevant, and policy-oriented knowledge that contributes to sustainable development, resilient agricultural systems, environmental stewardship, and integrated One Health futures.
