Journal History
Transactions on Science and Technology is an independent journal devoted to the prompt publication of original papers in basic science disciplines, their technological applications, the dissemination of scientific knowledge and technological knowhow, and the impact of science and technology to human, which includes economics. The journal seeks to promote and disseminate knowledge among scientists and engineers by providing a medium by which the results of their research can be brought to the attention of the world's scientific communities as well as public as a whole.
The journal was established in 2014 with its first issue published in December. Two issues were published on the following year in 2015. In 2016, the journal was published in three issues: in April, August and December, and two special issues on Science and Natural Resources (June 2016), and on Marine Science and Aquaculture (September 2016). From 2017 onwards, the journal was published in four issues in March, June, September and December to meet requests from authors for rapid publication of their paper. In addition, the journal continues in publishing special issues from time to time for the benefit of the readers.
The journal was initially published under Sustainable Palm Oil Research Unit, Universiti Malaysia Sabah. At the end of 2017, the journal was acquired by UniSE Press, the publishing division of the United Scientists and Engineers International or UniSE International.

Marked Increased in Global Impact Factor of 0.724
15 July 2022We are pleased to announce to our readers that our Global Impact Factor (GIF) has once again been markedly increased to 0.724. This is an indication of a steady growth of the journal as it has witnessed a significant increase from that of 2020 stats, where we received an impact factor of 0.531. It also means that our aim of being globally rated as one of the best journals in this field in the near future is gradually coming to reality.
The journal GIF is a measure of citation frequency that reflects the average number of citations to recently published articles. Our GIFs are calculated annually according to the standard formula published by Clarivate Analytics (previously ISI) where raw data used in this calculation can be accessed from the journal's citation records in Google Scholar profile for verifications by third parties. The impact factor is used to rank the relative importance and scientific calibre of a journal within its field.
This 2021 GIF wouldn't have been made possible without the significant contributions of our authors, reviewers and editors. Many thanks to you all. It is a very commendable achievement for our journal, and shows the high level of recognition of the journal in science and technology coupled with ensuring high standard and quality article publications.
We look forward to seeing more steady growth and success in 2022 as the journal continues to enjoy more valuable contributions from researchers globally.
