Authors should critically evaluate the quality, consistency, limitations, and implications of the available evidence. Manuscripts should follow recognized reporting guidelines, such as PRISMA or PRISMA-ScR, as appropriate to the review design.

3. Review Article

Review Articles provide comprehensive, critical, and balanced analyses of established or emerging topics in environmental sanitation, environmental health, and related public health research.

A Review Article should extend beyond a descriptive summary of previous studies by critically synthesizing scientific evidence, evaluating research developments, identifying knowledge gaps, and proposing directions for future research.

Relevant topics may include water and sanitation quality, environmental pollution, waste management, food hygiene and sanitation, vector control, occupational health and safety, environmental toxicology, environmental health risk assessment, and environmentally related diseases.

Review Articles should generally include:

1. Abstract and Keywords;

2. Introduction;

3. Relevant Thematic or Conceptual Subsections;

4. Critical Discussion;

5. Conclusion; and

6. References.

Authors should clearly explain the scope and basis of literature selection and provide a scientifically supported synthesis relevant to environmental health research and practice.

4. Conceptual and Theoretical Article

Conceptual and Theoretical Articles develop, examine, integrate, or critically evaluate concepts, theories, analytical frameworks, and models relevant to environmental sanitation and environmental health.

These articles may address environmental health risk assessment frameworks, sanitation management models, environmental exposure pathways, environmentally related disease prevention, community-based sanitation approaches, and sustainable environmental health interventions.

Manuscripts should present a clear and original scientific argument supported by relevant literature and established environmental health principles.

Conceptual and Theoretical Articles may propose:

• new concepts or analytical frameworks in environmental sanitation;

• theoretical models of environmental exposure and health risks;

• integration or modification of existing environmental health theories;

• critical evaluation of sanitation management and environmental health frameworks; and

• context-specific approaches to environmental health protection and disease prevention.

Authors should demonstrate the scientific relevance, conceptual clarity, and potential application of the proposed framework to environmental health research, policy, or professional practice.

5. Methods and Measurement Article

Methods and Measurement Articles present significant methodological developments relevant to environmental sanitation and environmental health research.

These may include:

• development and validation of environmental health and sanitation assessment instruments;

• development and evaluation of environmental quality indicators and sanitation indices;

• environmental sampling, monitoring, and measurement techniques;

• assessment of water, air, soil, food sanitation, and waste management;

• development and validation of laboratory and field testing methods;

• environmental exposure and health risk assessment methods;

• quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods approaches in environmental health research;

• geospatial analysis, Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and environmental health mapping;

• evaluation of sanitation interventions and environmental pollution control measures; and

• adaptation and validation of environmental health measurement tools across different settings.

Manuscripts should clearly identify the methodological problem, describe the proposed approach, and demonstrate its scientific relevance through empirical evidence, practical applications, comparative analyses, or validation studies.

Instrument and measurement studies should explain the conceptual basis, parameter selection, sampling procedures, analytical methods, and relevant evidence of reliability, validity, accuracy, and precision.

Authors should address methodological transparency, reproducibility, quality assurance, and applicable ethical and environmental considerations.

6. Brief Research Report

Brief Research Reports present original empirical research or significant preliminary findings related to environmental sanitation and environmental health in a concise scientific format.

Global, Cultural, and Contextual Perspectives in Environmental Sanitation and Health Research

Jurnal Sanitasi Lingkungan recognizes that environmental sanitation and health issues are influenced by diverse environmental, geographical, socioeconomic, cultural, institutional, and climatic conditions. The journal encourages research that considers these factors and avoids inappropriate generalizations across different populations and environmental settings.

Jurnal Sanitasi Lingkungan encourages authors to:

• incorporate local, national, international, or comparative perspectives on environmental sanitation and health;

• recognize differences in environmental conditions, sanitation infrastructure, and public health challenges;

• examine the influence of socioeconomic and environmental inequalities on sanitation access and health outcomes;

• consider community practices and local environmental conditions in research design and interpretation;

• evaluate the relevance of environmental health standards, assessment methods, and sanitation technologies;

• promote evidence-based sanitation interventions and environmental pollution prevention; and

• encourage interdisciplinary collaboration to address environmental sanitation and public health challenges.

The journal welcomes studies conducted in Indonesia and other countries, including comparative research relevant to environmental sanitation and health.

Research involving environmentally vulnerable communities, hazardous waste, environmental pollution, or occupational exposure must apply appropriate scientific methods, protect participant confidentiality, and comply with applicable ethical and environmental regulations.
