Progress in Energy and Combustion Science
An Affiliated Journal of The Combustion InstituteProgress in Energy and Combustion Science (PECS) publishes review articles on all aspects of energy and combustion science, providing a comprehensive in-depth overview, evaluation, and discussion of a particular topic. Climate change and conservation of energy requires an efficient combustion of fossil fuels and as importantly, emerging sustainable energy systems beyond combustion. The protection of the environment demands a limitation of the pollutants, including greenhouse gases, emitted from combustion and other energy-intensive systems. Combustion also plays an important role in process technology and materials science.Progress in Energy and Combustion Science contains articles by internationally recognized authors in the fields of combustion, flames, fuel science and technology, and a wide range of sustainable energy solutions. Each volume contains a number of specially commissioned review articles that provide the reader with an orderly and concise survey and scientific discussion of a particular aspect of combustion and energy. While they should not be unnecessarily long, the length of the articles allows authors to discuss their subjects more fully and comprehensively than can be undertaken in papers reporting original work. These review articles provide an opportunity for researchers to become usefully informed in fields other than their own. They are of use to students seeking a review of a particular subject, together with a comprehensive bibliography, as well as to engineers working in government and industrial research establishments, seeking practical solutions.Reviews are by invitation of the editors only. If you have a proposal for a review article, please do not submit your article directly, instead download and complete the following form (Proposal Form), which should be submitted through the journal’s Editorial Manager website. If your proposal is accepted, the Editors will invite you to submit your Review.Occasionally, PECS solicits short Perspectives to highlight recent successes, current developments, and future research needs in energy and combustion science.

Renewable Energy Focus
Renewable Energy is no longer a niche sector of novel technologies, and we have now implemented renewable energy to a scale where it is expected to triple capacity globally power by 2030 and increase more than 10x by 2050. This integration has had a significant impact on conventional energy infrastructure, creating a new grand challenge that the energy sector needs to address:How should energy infrastructure and markets evolve as the grid becomes moredecarbonizedandd... as greater digitization comes to the fore.And with this challenge in mind, what pathways (and their associated requirements) will enable renewable energy technologies to co-exist with other assets in a rapidly decarbonizing energy system?Renewable Energy Focus Journal aims to be a focal point for exploring where these complex forces of decarbonization, decentralization and digitization intersect with the scale up of renewable energy integrated systems, the integration of power and heat for integrated energy solutions across electricity, water, and Power to X. Integration with non-renewable energy sources often make sense for achieving decarbonization or regional and national scale energy transition goals. Papers that include such integration are acceptable for submitting to REF. The journal seeks cutting-edge, high-impact scientific insights across technologies, policy, finance, society and market developments.We serve multiple stakeholders, including:Academics and researchersEngineers... and the Finance communityThose with a keen interest in the scale up of renewable energy, such as NGOs, Associations, Governments and Societies.Renewable Energy Focus seeks to deliver high-value insights across the energy value chain through integrative, comprehensive, and leading-edge research - covering high impact innovations in renewable energy systems integration, modelling and analysis, policy, and business innovations.

Energy Economics
Energy Economics is the premier field journal for energy economics and energy finance. 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. Contributions to the journal can use a range of methods, if appropriately and rigorously applied, including but not limited to experiments, surveys, econometrics, decomposition, simulation models, equilibrium models, optimization models, and analytical models.Submitted papers must be replicable. Submitted papers are typically pre-reviewed by the editor-in-chief and the handling editor. Papers generally need two or more positive review reports to be invited for a revise-and-resubmit.... policy Energy Economics publishes an eclectic mix of papers using a wide variety of methods to shed light on a range of topics. Our replication policy reflects this, and is applied in spirit rather than to the letter. We encourage the submission of replication studies. Replication studies should reproduce the key results of the original study, replicate them and extend them in a substantive way, while explaining the differences.For econometric papers, authors should provide program(s) and data set(s), plus a readme file on how to replicate each table, graph and other result. Ideally, there will be one command to reproduce the entire paper. Use of interactive software is discouraged. The readme file should identify the software and toolboxes used. If data are proprietary, the readme file should make clear how data can be obtained. For experimental and survey-based papers, authors should provide the original instructions (plus an English translation if applicable), information about subject eligibility and selection, the raw data, and any program used to analyze the data. For analytic papers, authors should provide data and programs used for the simulations (if any). Detailed derivations and proofs should be placed in an appendix. For papers using simulation, equilibrium or optimization models, authors should provide data and programs. If data or programs are proprietary, unambiguous information on the version should be provided, plus information on how data or programs can be obtained. Small models developed in-house should be provided. For large models developed in-house, a standard version should be provided together with a detailed description of the changes made for the version used in the paper at hand. Data and programs can be provided either as an appendix to the paper or as a stable link to a website. Data files should be in machine-readable format.- ISSN: 0140-9883
Resource and Energy Economics
Resource and Energy Economics publishes theoretical and empirical papers, firmly grounded in economic theory, that advance our understanding of and provide novel insights into environmental and natural resource problems and policies broadly defined, as well as analyses of energy use and markets that link resource and environmental issues to energy.Contributions may address any problem involving economic and environmental linkages, including, but not limited to, utilization, conservation and development of the earth's natural resources (renewable and non-renewable, including critical materials); climate change mitigation and adaptation; innovation and the energy transition; pathways to sustainable growth and development; international trade and global environmental problems; non-market valuation methodology and novel applications of valuation techniques; experimental or behavioural economics pertaining to environmental and natural resources; the choice and impact of environmental policy instruments; and economic choices and/or behaviour related to energy and the environment. Also of interest are energy-related papers addressing regional or global pollution as well as the relationships between renewable and non-renewable energy sources and markets.Resource and Energy Economics is an economics journal. Hence, economic analysis is central to all papers that we publish. We are most interested in research that advances the theoretical and/or empirical understanding of natural resource and environmental economics. We do not publish studies that are limited to engineering or cost analyses, empirical analyses that document relationships between variables without identifying the theory or underlying mechanism(s) giving rise to these relationships, or localized studies without broader relevance. Papers limited to the study of prices, markets or finance are not within the scope of the journal unless the topic is linked to natural resource and environmental issues (such as energy efficiency, consumption, externalities, renewables, environmental policy, resource extraction, climate, instrument choice, welfare change, etc.). Papers that are determined by the editors to not be a good fit with the above aims and scope or are deemed to not meet the scientific standards of the journal will be returned without review.- ISSN: 0928-7655

Electric Power Systems Research
Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components evaluated within a system context, original application of existing knowledge or new design approaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, yet the submission contents should be directly related to the influence on power system operation rather than presenting the issues of particular network elements only. Furthermore, submissions focusing primarily on electricity prices, market economics, or isolated components without demonstrating a technical impact on the broader power system fall outside the journal's scope.Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.Generat... techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation.Transmiss... spanning the broad area from UHV (AC and DC) to network operation and protection, line routing and design.Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids.Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems.Utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques.Research papers and short contributions are welcome.Review papers are accepted on invitation basis only.- ISSN: 0378-7796
Energy Research & Social Science
Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems, markets, business and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side; and social, economic and business processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social and economic institutions, businesses, customs, traditions, households, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social, economic and business systems surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is of relevance for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social, business and economics aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers.Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of how social and technical issues related to both energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involve the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. The journal's focus on social structures is broadly defined to encompass both macro-level systems (like economic policies and structures, markets and institutions) and micro-level practices (like everyday interactions, businesses or individual and household behaviour), all of which together shape how society operates and interact with energy systems. Energy analysis therefore needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology to include these social, economic and human elements.The editors emphasize that cross cultural, comparative, mixed-methods research is especially encouraged, and discourage submission of single-country case studies and/or studies that rely only on one method in isolation. Authors of single country studies, if submitted, must demonstrate that they have situated their study in the broader context and have highlighted the significance of their study.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)- ISSN: 2214-6296
