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.Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Energy Research & Social Science

ISSN: 2214-6296
5 Year impact factor: 7.2
Impact factor: 6.9

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.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)

Energy and Climate Change

ISSN: 2666-2787
5 Year impact factor: 5.1
Impact factor: 5.8

Energy and Climate Change is a multidisciplinary journal that aims to provide accessible, decision-relevant research on energy sector strategies to address climate change. It covers the intersection of energy and climate-related fields, spanning the social and physical sciences, with the aim of identifying real solutions and strategies to reduce emissions and to respond to a changing climate. The challenges around energy and climate change are too big for any single discipline – it will only be possible to overcome the challenges around energy and climate change if people from different backgrounds can work together to find solutions. As a multidisciplinary journal, Energy and Climate Change aims to promote rapid communication and dialogue among the social scientists, physical scientists, engineering, and both public and private decision makers that must work together to meet the challenges around energy and climate change. Energy and Climate Change seeks articles with a strategic focus that are not already covered in disciplinary journals. The journal seeks high-quality writing that can be understood by researchers from different disciplines.

Published on behalf of the International Energy Initiative, Energy for Sustainable Development is a journal to promote – initiate, strengthen and advance – the efficient and clean production and use of energy for sustainable development of developing nations (i.e. any country outside the high income category as per the World Bank definition). It publishes original, applied, interdisciplinary research, commentaries and reviews about energy as an instrument of sustainable development and focuses on energy systems, clean resources, efficient technologies, end uses, policies and governance arrangements. It is the journal for decision makers, managers, consultants, policy makers, planners and researchers in both government and non-government organizations. Accordingly, the Editorial Board does not consider highly specialized works in a specific discipline appropriate for this journal.The Editorial Board of ESD views energy, not as an end, but as an instrument of sustainable development. The Editorial Board particularly wishes to encourage papers that are (1) in line with the scope outlined above, (2) likely to be of interest to more than one professional group, and (3) contributing significantly to knowledge through analysis, synthesis and critical review and evaluation. The board also welcomes papers on North-South, South-South or multilateral cooperation in energy technology development, governance, training and applications. The Board considers the publication of highly specialized work more appropriate to other professional journals. The criteria for acceptance of the papers in Energy for Sustainable Development are 1) relevance of the work and breadth of interest; 2) originality and contribution to knowledge; 3) methodological robustness; 4) quality of analysis and 5) the quality of presentation, irrespective of the type of paper (full length research papers, short communications or review articles).Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.

Resource and Energy Economics

ISSN: 0928-7655
5 Year impact factor: 3
Impact factor: 2.6

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.
