Description
Advances in Science, Technology & Innovation (ASTI) is a series of peer-reviewed books based on important emerging research that redefines the current disciplinary boundaries in science, technology, and innovation (ASTI) in order to develop integrated concepts for sustainable development. It not only discusses the progress made towards securing more resources, allocating smarter solutions, and rebalancing the relationship between nature and people, but also provides in-depth insights from comprehensive research that addresses the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) as set out by the UN for 2030.
The series promotes the creation and development of viable solutions for a sustainable future and a positive societal transformation with the help of integrated and innovative science-based approaches. Including interdisciplinary contributions, it presents innovative approaches and highlights how they can best support both economic and sustainable development, through better use of data, more effective institutions, and global, local, and individual action, for the welfare of all societies.
The series particularly features conceptual and empirical contributions from various interrelated fields of science, technology, and innovation, with an emphasis on digital transformation, that focus on providing practical solutions to ensure food, water, and energy security to achieve the SDGs. It also presents new case studies offering concrete examples of how to resolve sustainable urbanization and environmental issues in different regions of the world. The series is intended for professionals in research and teaching, consultancies and industry, and government and international organizations. Published in collaboration with IEREK.
The series draws on the best research papers from various IEREK’s international conferences, while external conference proceedings proposals are no longer accepted as direct publications. The series does invite significant expansions of selected papers previously submitted to conferences. The Editors’ role should be evident in the reviews through an intensive double-blind peer review process, helping authors with edits, and collaborating with them to demonstrate great academic significance through clear research findings and innovative solutions that go well beyond a typical conference submission.
The ASTI series welcomes external proposals and requests to publish edited books, contributed volumes, monographs, and textbooks. With the commitment to the aforementioned instructions and policy.
The ASTI series has now been accepted for Scopus (September 2020). All content published in this series will start appearing on the Scopus site in early 2021.
