Introducing Our New Journal:

Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, Politics, Economy, and Industry

We are excited to announce the launch of the Polish Journal of Environmental Studies, Politics, Economy, and Industry (PJOESPEAI)! This interdisciplinary journal is dedicated to exploring the complex relationships between environmental science, political decisions, economic policies, and industrial developments.

Our mission is to provide a platform for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals to share insights, discuss emerging challenges, and propose sustainable solutions for the future. We welcome high-quality submissions from experts in environmental studies, political science, economics, and industrial management.

Interested in contributing? Visit our official website for submission guidelines and more information: www.pjoespeai.com

Join us in shaping the future of environmental research and policy!

We are pleased to report that according to the newly released Journal Citation Reports, the new Impact Factor for Polish Journal of Environmental Studies for 2023 has reached the level of 1.400.

That achievement was gained greatly thanks to the efforts of our authors and referees. Therefore we would like to express our deep appreciation for their ongoing involvement in our journal.

Thank you very for being with us!
