  • Energy and Climate Change

    • ISSN: 2666-2787
    • 5 Year impact factor: 5.8
    • Impact factor: 5.7
    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.

  • Journal of Energy Storage

    • ISSN: 2352-152X
    • 5 Year impact factor: 10.5
    • Impact factor: 10.7
    The Journal of Energy Storage focusses on all aspects of energy storage, in particular systems integration, electric grid integration, modelling and analysis, novel energy storage technologies, sizing and management strategies, business models for operation of storage systems and energy storage developments worldwide.The journal offers a single, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary platform for scientists and engineers in academia, research institutions, government agencies and industry. The journal is also of interest to decision makers and technical, economic and policy advisers in these organisations.The Journal of Energy Storage welcomes original research papers, reviews and short communications. Topics include, but are not limited to the following:Science, technology and applications of electrochemical, chemical, mechanical, electrical and thermal energy storageEngineering, control, optimization, numerical and modelling aspects of energy storage systemsDemand and management of intermittency in large scale low-carbon power generation involving renewable energy sources using energy storage systems and other competing flexibility options such as flexible power plants, demand side management in households and industry, combined heat and power, or grid extensionsApplicatio... load profiles and requirements of storage technologies in grid-scale electrical storage, electric vehicle transportation, traction applications, off-grid systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and portable electronic applicationsManageme... and control of large quantities of distributed storage systems as virtual large scale storage systems, including vehicle-to-grid, energy storage integrated with buildings, and multi-purpose and hybrid storage systemsTesting, test procedures, evaluation, lessons learned, life cycle costs, life cycle assessment, and safety of energy storage systemsEconomic, policy and regulatory aspects, markets, market models, and market introduction concepts of energy storage systems.The Journal of Energy Storage considers manuscripts in which energy storage constitutes the central scientific contribution. A general reference to energy storage, its inclusion as a possible future application, or the presence of a storage component in an otherwise unrelated study is insufficient to establish relevance to the journal.The journal does not welcome manuscripts primarily focused on:electrolysers or electrolysis processes,fuel cells,hydrogen production, including water splitting,ammonia production,electroca... and catalytic materials,nanofluids... production,the extraction, processing, or storage of conventional fuels, orenergy harvesting or energy generation.Manuscrip... centered on these topics are considered outside the journal’s scope, even when the authors suggest a potential connection to energy storage. Energy storage must be the principal research subject and must be addressed through a clear and substantive scientific, technological, or system-level contribution.The specific optimization techniques applied although relevant for research replicability will not be considered as novel aspects and highlighting them in the title is not recommended. Use of storage solutions (like PCM) to improve performance of energy harvesting systems fits the scope of the journal given strong focus on the storage solution properties itself. The Journal of Energy Storage does not accept resubmissions of manuscripts that have previously undergone peer review by the journal and received a rejection decision. This applies to revised, retitled, or otherwise modified versions of the rejected manuscript. Resubmission is permitted only when explicitly invited by the Editor-in-Chief.The journal does not welcome submissions divided into “Part I” and “Part II” or similar sequential manuscripts. The study should be presented as a single, self-contained manuscript containing all essential methods, analyses, and conclusions. This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy)
