  • Comparative Analysis: Each manuscript should position its contribution within the context of prior work, elucidating advancements made.
  1. Paper Types
  • Theoretical and Methodological Papers: Papers that present new theoretical frameworks or methodologies with practical implications.
  • Experimental Papers: Manuscripts detailing experimental design, methodology, and results with clear practical relevance.
  • Applications and Experience Reports: Submissions highlighting insights or challenges in applying green technologies or sustainable practices, offering value to researchers and practitioners.
  1. Manuscript Specifications

To meet the high standards of Future - JESGT, manuscripts must:

  • Adhere to the Template: Authors must use the official journal templatefor manuscript preparation. This ensures uniform formatting, including sections for title, abstract, keywords, introduction, literature review, methodology, results, discussion, conclusion, and references.
  • Abstract and Keywords: Include a concise abstract (150–250 words) summarizing the objectives, methods, results, and significance. Provide 5 keywords to facilitate indexing.
  • Length and Format: Manuscripts should be appropriately concise while covering the scope and depth of the research. There is no strict page limit; however, submissions should maintain clarity, focus, and relevance, adhering to the journal's quality standards and formatting requirements.
  • Figures and Tables: Ensure that figures and tables are clear, properly labeled, and integrated within the manuscript. Provide high-resolution images (minimum 300 dpi) where applicable.
