Energy and Climate Change
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.- ISSN: 2666-2787

Broad material science and corrosion studies without a focus on naval architecture or offshore engineering are also outside the journal's scope. Furthermore, the journal does not consider studies related to wind turbines unless there is a direct application to offshore engineering (such as offshore wind turbines). Research focusing on the mechanics of robotic devices or wireless power transfer systems also falls outside the journal’s scope.Additionally, Ocean Engineering does not accept submissions focusing solely on military applications, including dual-use submissions such as navigation of AUVs for military purposes, the design of propulsion systems and operational conditions related to stealth techniques. While the journal is currently open to papers on submarine hydrodynamics, it must be ensured that no sensitive or military-related content is included. The aim of any manuscript submitted to Ocean Engineering should be the worldwide dissemination of scientific knowledge, focusing on civilian applications that advance the broader field of ocean and maritime engineering.*Authors are requested to complete a Review Proposal Form for Editorial approval prior to submission of the review article. Proposals can be submitted to [email protected] or one of the Editors.- ISSN: 0029-8018
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. We accept Original Research and Review Papers that contribute substantial new science and insights on integrated renewable based power systems, and integrated systems solutions across electricity, heat, chemicals, fuels, and integrated systems.All research is subject to rigorous full peer review.We also encourage authors wherever possible to publish their data with us, either through supplementary material; on Elsevier's Mendeley platform; or by publishing a data article in Elsevier's Data in Brief Journal (which can then be linked to your article on Renewable Energy Focus). More details can be found in our Guide for Authors.To help you decide if your paper is in scope, here is a (non-exhaustive) list of subjects that we cover. Please remember that regardless of the overarching theme of your research, papers should focus in some way on aspects of renewable energy or its integration. Some examples include:Decentraliza... and its impact on decarbonizing the grid: This could relate to the integration of different technologies, advanced sensing and controls for highly distributed, decentralized integrated energy systems, storage technologies, and the ability to deploy energy effectively within different frameworks.How should the grid evolve to manage a complex interaction of different energy technologies reliably and economically, both in the developed and developing world?The role of Digitization and advanced IT technology to manage, decarbonize, co-ordinate and optimize the grid (and assets associated with it).How will market forces need to adapt to facilitate an energy transition (for example regarding Social and consumer attitudes and behavior, supply and demand, and the economics of integrating different technology profiles).How do the Power markets need to evolve to encourage continued investment in a broad and diverse range of technology profiles and energy systems - many of which have conflicting grid requirements, performance and outputs.What do we need to do to make the electrification of transport possible?- ISSN: 1755-0084

The ISES vision statement is: 100% renewable energy for everyone used wisely and efficiently. 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. Because of the international character of Solar Energy, articles that deal solely with the solar radiation or wind data base of a specific country are not normally considered suitable for Solar Energy. Submitted manuscripts may take the form of reports of original studies or reviews of significant prior work in a given area. All manuscripts are subject to reviews to assure accuracy, clarity, and long-term value.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: 0038-092X
