ASEAN Journal of Scientific and Technological Reports
Science, technology and innovation for sustainable development — with particular attention to the ASEAN region and other developing economies, in support of the BCG economy and the UN SDGs.
Aims & Scope
The ASEAN Journal of Scientific and Technological Reports (AJSTR) is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes original research and critical reviews on science, technology, and innovation for sustainable development. Its core areas are agricultural and biological sciences and chemical engineering, complemented by environmental science, energy, pharmacology and microbiology, computer science, and the management of technology and innovation, as well as related work in physics, astronomy, chemistry and mathematics. The journal gives particular attention to work relevant to the ASEAN region and other developing economies and supports the Bio-Circular-Green (BCG) economy and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Interdisciplinary research across these areas is particularly encouraged.
Out of scope: Purely social, economic, educational, or management studies without a technological dimension are not considered. AJSTR also does not consider clinical trials or clinical medicine, law, humanities, or descriptive local reports without a broader scientific contribution. Full scope →

6 Agricultural & Biological Sciences 4 Chemical, Environmental & Energy Engineering 5 Computer Science & Decision Sciences 2 Pharmacology, Toxicology & Applied Microbiology Editor's NoteThe November 2026 issue brings together 17 peer-reviewed articles from researchers across the ASEAN region and beyond. Agricultural research is the largest group, with studies on rice weed management and the yield stability of advanced rice lines, corn seed germination, and black soldier fly larvae reared on organic waste for feed. Environmental and energy contributions examine blue carbon and heavy metals in mangrove ecosystems, rooftop solar PV performance in Thailand's Eastern Economic Corridor, lightweight concrete using rice husk ash, and a systematic review of microbubble ozonation.
In computer science, the issue features deep learning for plant leaf disease detection and herbal plant identification, AI-generated text detection, Thai lyrics emotion classification, and cross-modal recognition of traffic police gestures. The issue also includes a review on carbon nanoparticles synthesised from natural sugars and a study of bioactive compounds in Thai RD43 rice extracts as cosmetic ingredients.
We thank the authors, reviewers and editors whose work made this issue possible.
