Himalayan Journal of Sciences (ISSN 1727 5210 print issue and 1727 5229 online) was a peer-reviewed annual multi-disciplinary journal.
Mission Statement: HJS was dedicated to the promotion of scientific research, informed discourse, and enlightened stewardship of natural and cultural systems in the Himalayan region.
Scope: The problems and opportunities confronting the Himalayan region are so broad and interrelated as to resist treatment within traditional academic disciplines; accordingly, the Himalayan Journal of Sciences published articles of scientific merit based on investigations in all fields of enquiry pertinent to the natural and cultural systems of the Himalayan region.
Contribution Categories: HJS published works pertinent to the scope of the journal in the following categories: a) Research papers: Report on original research; b) Review papers: Thorough account of current developments and trajectories in a given field; c) Articles: Narrowly-focused account of current development in a given field; d) Editorial: Opinionated essay on an issue of public interest; e) Essay: Similar to editorial but longer and more comprehensive; may include tables and figures; f) Commentary and Correspondence: Persuasive and informed commentary on any topical issues or on articles published in prior issues of the journal; g) Policy and development: Usually a hybrid of opinion and review papers covering a broad topic with rigorous analysis of the issue and bearing on policies relating to science and/or development. The focus may be rather specific, and it may contain primary data or new model of substantial significance; h) Resource review: Evaluation of books, websites, CD-ROMs, and other resources; i) Publication preview: Description of forthcoming books; j) Announcement: Notice of forthcoming conferences, seminars, workshops, and other events.
The journal was published once a year.
