Journals
- Energy Conversion and Management
“The topics considered include energy generation, utilization, conversion, storage, transmission, conservation, management and sustainability.” - Applied Thermal Engineering
“Applied Thermal Engineering publishes original, high-quality research papers and ancillary features, spanning activities ranging from fundamental research to trouble-shooting in existing plant and equipment.” - Biomass and Bioenergy
“Key areas covered by the journal:
- Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
- Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW).” - Resources, Conservation and Recycling
“The journal emphasizes the transformation processes involved in a transition toward more sustainable production and consumption systems. Emphasis is upon technological, economic, institutional and policy aspects of specificresource management practices, such as conservation, recycling andresource substitution, and of "systems-wide" strategies, such as resource productivity improvement, the restructuring of production and consumption profiles and the transformation of industry.” - The Electricity Journal
“The journal deals primarily with fuel diversity and the energy mix needed for optimal energy market performance, and therefore covers the full spectrum of energy, from coal, nuclear, natural gas and oil, to renewable energy sources including hydro, solar, geothermal and wind power.” - Energy
“The journal covers research in mechanical engineering and thermal sciences, with a strong focus on energy analysis, energy modelling and prediction, integrated energy systems, energy planning and energy management.” - Energy Economics
“Themes include, but are not limited to, the exploitation, conversion and use of energy, markets for energy commodities and derivatives, regulation and taxation, forecasting, environment and climate, international trade, development, and monetary policy.” - Energy Policy
“Energy Policy is an international peer-reviewed journal addressing the policy implications of energy supply and use from their economic, social, planning and environmental aspects.” - Fuel
“Research into energy sources remains a key issue. Over the last 80 years, Fuelhas been the leading source of primary research work in fuel science. The scope is broad and includes many topics of increasing interest such as environmental aspects and pollution.” - The International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems (JEPE)
“The International Journal of Electrical Power & Energy Systems (JEPE) is an international journal for dissemination of the newest technologies and theoretical research in the area of electrical power and energy systems, aiming at inspiring interdisciplinary research across academia and industry and contributing to the prosperity of modern societies.” - International Journal of Marine Energy
“The Journal focuses on wave and tidal topics including: fundamental understanding; fluid mechanics; design; modelling and optimisation of devices and arrays/ farms; environmental assessment; design codes; regulations; policy; economics; monitoring; planning evaluation; legislation and legal aspects related to sustainable exploitation of the ocean and tidal resources.” - Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics
“These are: social and economic impact of wind effects; wind characteristics and structure, local wind environments, wind loads and structural response, diffusion, pollutant dispersion and matter transport, wind effects on building heat loss and ventilation, wind effects on transport systems, wind power generation, and codification of wind effects.” - Renewable Energy
“Renewable Energy is an international, multi-disciplinary journal inrenewable energy engineering and research. The journal aims to be a leading peer-reviewed platform and an authoritative source of original research and reviews related to renewable energy.” - Solar Energy
“Solar Energy welcomes manuscripts presenting information not previously published in journals on any aspect of solar energy research,development, application, measurement or policy. The term "solar energy" in this context includes the indirect uses such as wind energy and biomass” - Solar Energy Materials and Solar Cells
“Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells is intended as a vehicle for the dissemination of research results on materials science and technologyrelated to photovoltaic, photothermal and photoelectrochemical solar energy conversion.” - Sustainable Energy Grids and Networks
“SEGAN welcomes papers describing fundamental advances in mathematical, statistical or computational methods with application to power and energy systems, as well as papers on applications, computation and modeling in the areas of electrical and energy systems with coupled information and communication technologies.” - Utilities Policy
“Relevant topics and issues include but are not limited to industry structures and ownership, market design and dynamics, economic development, resource planning, system modeling, accounting and finance, infrastructure investment, supply and demand efficiency, strategic management and productivity, network operations and integration, supply chains, adaptation and flexibility, service-quality standards, benchmarking and metrics, benefit-cost analysis, behavior and incentives, pricing and demand response, economic and environmental regulation, regulatory performance and impact, restructuring and deregulation, and policy institutions.” - Nature Energy
Publishing monthly, Nature Energy is dedicated to exploring all aspects of this on-going discussion, from the generation and storage of energy, to its distribution and management, the needs and demands of the different actors, and the impacts that energy technologies and policies have on societies. We have a particular interest in studies that advance our knowledge and inform the development of next-generation technologies and solutions. Nature Energyprovides a forum for all parties active at the frontiers of energy to come together and learn about the different facets of this sector.
