The NRF, A United Nations Sustainable Development
Journal focuses on international, multidisciplinary issues
related to sustainable development, with an emphasis on developing
countries. The journal seeks to address gaps in current knowledge
and stimulate policy discussions on the most critical issues
associated with the sustainable development agenda, by promoting
research that integrates the social, economic, and environmental
dimensions of sustainable development. Contributions that inform
the global policy debate through pragmatic lessons learned from
experience at the local, national, and global levels are
encouraged.
The Journal considers articles written on all topics relevant to
sustainable development. In addition, it dedicates series, issues
and special sections to specific themes that are relevant to the
current discussions of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable
Development (CSD). Articles must be based on original research and
must be relevant to policy-making.
Criteria for selection of submitted articles include:
1) Relevance and importance of the topic discussed to sustainable
development in general, both in terms of policy impacts and gaps in
current knowledge being addressed by the article;
2) Treatment of the topic that incorporates social, economic and
environmental aspects of sustainable development, rather than
focusing purely on sectoral and/or technical aspects;
3) Articles must contain original applied material drawn from
concrete projects, policy implementation, or literature reviews;
purely theoretical papers are not entertained.
Apart from peer-reviewed articles, the journal includes Book
Reviews and a
'Viewpoints' section where contributors present different
perspectives on a particular topic.
