"I was drafting the plans for a collaborative Industry-Academia research on Transportation Planning and Scheduling when my thoughts veered to the International Journal of Green Computing (IJGC). Our major goal is to address the challenges of greener transportation and logistics - a major global challenge. I think the IJGC is creating the right support for such Green initiatives. Several of the papers in recent volumes have made remarkable contributions to the general theme of innovations in design and resource utilization. In particular they address both IT for Green and Green IT, subjects that we work on."
- Siddhartha SenGupta, Tata Consultancy Services Limited, Mumbai, India

"In the present day, environmental issues have gained prominence because of the recent recognition of the roles they play in the growth process. International Journal of Green Computing (IJGC) provides an important avenue for researchers and practitioners to present and evaluate theoretically and/or empirically, issues relating to the environment in a concise manner relevant to the global economies. I have no reservation in recommending the journal to all economic scholars."
- Funso Ayadi, University of Lagos, Nigeria.

"My research area include topics in the Reverse Logistics and Sustainability.
