Sustainable Development Goals

Our mission is to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations in 2015. Open access is critical for ensuring that scientific findings are translated into societal gains. In this regard, article processing charges will not be a barrier to publishing in JCMSA.

At our Journal, we are committed to promoting research that addresses the most pressing issues facing our planet. Through the publication of high-quality articles, we aim to support the implementation of the SDGs and create a more sustainable and equitable future for all.
