Focus & Scope

Science in Tropics is a multidisciplinary academic journal that focuses on the exploration and understanding of various scientific aspects in tropical regions. The journal provides a platform for researchers, scientists, and scholars to publish their original research, reviews, and perspectives on topics related to biodiversity, climate, and sustainable development in tropical regions worldwide.

Scope

1. Biodiversity and Conservation

  • Conservation policies and their effectiveness in tropical countries

2. Climate and Weather Patterns

  • Tropical climate systems, including monsoons, El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and tropical cyclones
  • Climate change impacts on tropical regions, including rising temperatures, changing precipitation patterns, and sea-level rise
  • Climate modeling and forecasting in tropical areas
  • Adaptation strategies for communities and ecosystems in response to climate change

3. Sustainable Development in the Tropics
