Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Examining the Impact of Human Capital on Environmental Degradation in BRICS Nations   Order a copy of this article
    by Anshita Sachan, Ashis PRadhan 
    Abstract: Owing to the significance of human capital in the environmental sustainability and economic development, present research reassesses the linkage between human capital and environmental degradation for BRICS nations. The study has been carried while using annual time series data for the period of 1996-2019. Further Driscoll-Kraay, ARDL and AMG models have been employed for econometric analysis. The results revealed that human capital helps in the improvement of the environment. Moreover, total patents and globalisation index have favourable effects on the environment, while trade openness increases carbon emissions. To enhance the human capital of the economy, it is crucial to boost school enrolment, promote fair access to schooling, and extend the average duration of schooling. Our findings endorse proper human resource management policymaking.
    Keywords: Human capital; BRICS; total patents; globalization index; trade openness.

  • Diversifying Economic Growth in Gulf Cooperation Council Countries: from Oil Dependence to Sustainable Strategies   Order a copy of this article
    by Tarek Sadraoui 
    Abstract: This paper explores the transformative shift in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries from oil-dependent economies to diversified, non-oil-driven growth models. Using data from 2000 to 2023, the study investigates the contributions of non-oil sectors, such as tourism, finance, manufacturing, and technology, to overall economic performance. Employing advanced econometric methods, the analysis highlights the role of government policies, foreign direct investment, and structural reforms in accelerating diversification efforts. The findings point out that the non-oil sectors can greatly elevate the economy's resilience and sustainability in this regard, thereby reducing the damage from the volatility of crude oil prices. The study provides essential insights for policymakers looking for long-term economic stability and inclusive growth in the GCC region.
    Keywords: GCC Economies; Economic Diversification; Non-Oil Sectors; Sustainable Growth; Structural Reforms; Oil Price Volatility.

  • Surveillance through Solar Energy Tracker: an Application Based Approach for 21st Century Renewable Energy   Order a copy of this article
    by Rohit Rastogi, Agrim Rajput, Aditi Soni, Akash K 
    Abstract: This research provides an overview on the Solar energy calculator, a project that deals with estimating the no. of solar panels needed for installation, giving analysis of annual energy generation & probable energy consumption, savings, amount of Co2 reduction and a detailed recommendation for users who wish to switch to renewable energy resource and install solar panels in their homes all on the basis of your available floor area. By integrating real time weather data, advanced algorithms, and user-friendly interface, the calculator provides accurate estimates of energy production, financial returns and environmental benefits. This project contributes towards the movement of switching to green energy and is a step in the direction of a cleaner environment and better world for our current and upcoming generations.
    Keywords: Smart grid; Weather data; API; sustainable energy; solar energy; Prediction model; machine learning; subsidies; Solar Panel; Green efficiency; Solar irradiance.
