About the Journal

Aims and Scope

Many case studies and research works on Environmental Science related areas have been carried out by academic institutions all across the world.

Thus, the Department has come up with the publication of Nepal Journal of Environmental Science (Nep J Environ Sci) as an attempt to participate in the above-mentioned missions.
