Focus and Scope

The Journal of Earth and Marine Technology (JEMT) focuses on applied and interdisciplinary research in geoscience, natural resources, mining engineering, environmental engineering, and marine-related systems. The journal emphasizes studies that combine scientific understanding with technological and engineering applications across earth and marine environments.

Scope of the Journal includes, but is not limited to:

  • Geosciences: Studies on geological structures, geophysics, geochemistry, seismology, volcanology, and Earth system processes, including their implications for environmental and engineering applications.

  • Mining and Natural Resources Engineering: Exploration, extraction, characterization, and management of mineral, energy, and subsurface resources, including sustainable mining practices and resource optimization.

  • Marine Geoscience and Coastal Systems: Research on seabed geology, sediment dynamics, coastal processes, offshore structures, and interactions between marine and terrestrial systems.

  • Environmental Geotechnology and Impact Studies: Assessment of environmental changes related to mining, coastal development, and geological hazards, including mitigation and risk analysis.

  • Earth and Marine Engineering Technology: Development and application of engineering tools, sensing systems, computational models, and monitoring technologies used in geoscience, mining, and marine environments.

  • Climate and Earth System Dynamics: Studies on climate variability, extreme events, and interactions between climate, geological processes, and resource systems.

JEMT maintains a strong commitment to research integrity, methodological rigor, and interdisciplinary relevance. All submissions are peer-reviewed by subject experts to ensure scientific quality, originality, and contribution to the field.

Peer Review Process

Journal of Earth and Marine Technology (JEMT) applies a single-blind peer review process. In this model, reviewers know the identity of the authors, while authors do not know the identity of the reviewers.

All submissions follow these steps:

  • Initial Screening: The editorial team checks scope, basic quality, and compliance with author guidelines.

  • Peer Review: Manuscripts that pass screening are reviewed by at least two independent reviewers.

  • Editorial Decision: The editor makes the final decision based on reviewer reports.

  • Revisions: Authors may be asked to revise their manuscript before acceptance.

  • Final Acceptance: Articles are accepted only after required revisions are completed satisfactorily.

Conflicts of interest are managed to maintain fairness and integrity in the review process.

 

Publication Frequency

JEMT publishes two issues per year, released in March and September.
