Aims and Scope
The Environment-Behaviour Proceedings Journal (E-BPJ, eISSN 2398-4287) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal publishing the proceedings of the international conference series of the Association of Malaysian Environment-Behaviour Researchers (AMER). It is published by e-International Publishing House, Ltd., UK (e-IPH). The Editor-in-Chief and editorial board have sole authority over peer-review and publication decisions.
Scope
E-BPJ publishes research on the relationships between people and their environments: how built, natural, social and digital settings shape human behaviour and Quality of Life (QoL). It draws on environmental psychology, spatial design and behavioural research, and welcomes work that can improve Quality of Life and environmental sustainability.
Every paper must clearly examine the relationship between a specific environment and human behaviour or Quality of Life outcomes. Research from every region is welcome, including studies of Asian, African, Arab, European, American and other communities.

Out of scope
Papers focused purely on technical coding or software algorithms, engineering materials, corporate supply chains, banking and financial markets, corporate accounting, or marketing and advertising metrics, without a primary and measurable focus on human behaviour or Quality of Life, are out of scope and are declined at the editorial screening stage. This applies equally to regular issues, Special Issues and papers from partner conferences.
