  • Energy Research & Social Science

    • ISSN: 2214-6296
    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)

  • Energy and Climate Change

    • ISSN: 2666-2787
    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.
