Focus and Scope

The Journal of Earth and Marine Technology (JEMT), with ISSN 2723-8105, is dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding and technical innovations in the field of earth sciences and marine technology. Our aim is to provide a rigorous platform for researchers, engineers, and practitioners to share insights and results of their work.

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

• Marine Geosciences: Research on marine ecosystems, geological formations under the ocean floor, and hydrodynamic processes. Studies may include topics like sediment dynamics, oceanographic processes, and marine geohazards.

• Earth Sciences: Investigations into the physical constitution of the earth and its atmosphere. This includes geophysics, seismology, volcanology, and meteorology, particularly studies that have implications for environmental management and sustainability.

• Technology and Innovation in Marine Equipment: Development and operational analyses of devices and systems used in marine settings, such as subsea technology, remote sensing, and robotic systems designed for exploration and data collection.

• Environmental Impact Assessments: Studies that evaluate the impact of human activities on marine and terrestrial environments, offering insights into pollution control, waste management, and sustainable practices.

• Climate Change: Research that explores the impact of climate change on marine and earth environments, including sea level rise, warming oceans, and changing weather patterns.

• Resource Exploration and Management: Techniques and strategies for the exploration and sustainable management of natural resources such as minerals, oil, and gas, both offshore and onshore.

The JEMT is committed to high standards of research integrity and scientific rigor. We encourage submissions that are based on well-founded research methodologies and provide significant contributions to the field. Each submission is peer-reviewed by experts to ensure accuracy and relevance.

We welcome submissions from researchers around the world, aiming to foster a diverse community of ideas and perspectives. The JEMT publishes articles including original research, reviews, case studies, and occasional thematic issues related to significant topics in earth and marine sciences.

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.
