Applied Science and Technology
Volume 1, Issue 1 brings together practical research, technological innovation, and engineering solutions that address real-world challenges. It welcomes original findings, applied studies, design innovations, and critical reviews across the applied sciences and engineering disciplines, including mechanical, civil, electrical, electronics, computer, chemical, materials, environmental, energy, manufacturing, biomedical, and industrial engineering, together with emerging fields such as automation, robotics, sustainable technologies, smart systems, and digital engineering. By bridging fundamental science with applied technology, the issue seeks work that demonstrates scientific rigor, technical soundness, and reproducibility, with clear potential for industrial, societal, or environmental impact.
The journal is published quarterly, and the submission window for this issue closes on 26 March 2027.
Publication is free of cost. There is no submission charge and no article processing fee for any journal under NextGen Journals.
