Journal of Tropical Science and Engineering (JTSE) aims to promote interdisciplinary research that addresses scientific, technological, and environmental challenges associated with tropical and extreme environments. The journal welcomes contributions from researchers worldwide and evaluates all submissions solely on the basis of scientific quality, originality, and relevance.

      In particular, JTSE emphasizes integrative, field-based, and problem-oriented studies that link fundamental scientific understanding with practical solutions for ecosystem sustainability, environmental resilience, and human well-being in tropical regions.

The scope of the journal includes, but is not limited to, the following areas:

    Ecology and Environmental Sciences (Primary Focus)

• Tropical ecology and biodiversity;
• Mechanisms and governing principles of the formation, dynamics, and development of tropical landscapes and ecosystems;
• Tropical natural resources and the environment;
• Integrated management and sustainable use of natural and human-modified landscapes and ecosystems;
• Novel methods and technologies for the restoration of tropical forest and marine ecosystems;
• Landscape studies in relation to sustainable development of agriculture, forestry, tourism, and conservation;
• Climate change and ecological security;
• Microorganisms and their applications in environmental protection;
• Dioxin and other environmental pollutants originating from war legacy and anthropogenic activities.

     Studies based on field observations, experimental approaches, or theoretical frameworks are welcome, provided that they contribute to broader ecological understanding beyond local case studies.

         Chemistry and Materials Sciences (Secondary Focus)

• Corrosion, ageing, and biodeterioration of materials and engineering systems in tropical environments, and prediction of their service life; basic and applied chemistry.
• Research on solutions, technologies, and materials (including protective coatings) to enhance durability, service life, and operational performance of materials and technical equipment under tropical conditions;
• Research, development, and application of novel materials and advanced technologies in specialized and high-performance fields.

       Interdisciplinary studies that integrate materials science with environmental, biological, or ecological perspectives are particularly encouraged.

       Biomedical and Pharmaceutical Sciences (Complementary Focus)

• Environmental toxicology and human health risk assessment;
• Occupational environment and occupational health;
• Epidemiology and infectious diseases; Tropical diseases affecting humans, animals, and plants.
• Development and application of products, technologies, and techniques for surveillance, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of infectious diseases;
• Bioactive compounds, pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and their applications in disease prevention and treatment;
• Biotechnology and the development and application of advanced biotechnological products, technologies, and techniques.

        Submissions should emphasize mechanistic understanding or innovative approaches, rather than purely clinical or descriptive studies.

      Overall, JTSE particularly encourages interdisciplinary studies that bridge ecology, environmental sciences, materials science, and biomedical research to address complex challenges in tropical and extreme environments, with clear international relevance and rigorous scientific methodology.
