About the Journal

Journal of Applied Science & Engineering Materials (JASEM) is an international, peer-reviewed, and interdisciplinary publication platform that bridges the theoretical principles of fundamental sciences with the practical applications of engineering disciplines. Our journal aims to publish original research situated at the intersection where scientific discoveries translate into technological innovations and tangible materials.

The scope of the journal encompasses application-oriented studies across the following three core disciplines and their respective subfields:
