Revision as of 14:01, 11 March 2021
This page contains a list of full open access journals in which energy research and energy modeling software can be published. The information here (including publication fees and article lengths) refers to full-length articles based on original research.
Most journals require a publication fee (also known as an article processing charge or APC) to be paid by the submitter on acceptance. The fee can be as high as €1800, but some journals have a waiver policy for non-funded authors. To apply for a partial or full exemption, you will need to submit the institutional affiliations of the authors, the details of your project, and any sources of funding you receive. You also need to apply prior to or at the time of submission.
Some conventional journals allow authors to buy out their restricted access. These are known as hybrid open access journals and their APCs tends to be higher, in line with their better impact factors.
Only two journals, the Journal of Open Research Software and the Journal of Open Source Software, are dedicated to software and cover all areas of science. Only two support energy economics. The remainder are either oriented towards engineering topics or broad in scope.
The Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) maintains a directory of open access journals.
Note: Feel free to shift journals between the established and less known categories or remove them altogether, particularly if you know something of their reputation.

Journal of Open Research Software
- Overview
- The open access Journal of Open Research Software (JORS) is dedicated to publishing open source research software. It is therefore a useful outlet in which to publish software source code, and then be able to cite the software from other articles.
- The journal features peer reviewed software metapapers describing research software with high reuse potential. We are working with a number of specialist and institutional repositories to ensure that the associated software is professionally archived, preserved, and is openly available. Equally importantly, the software and the papers will be citable, and reuse will be tracked.
- JORS also publishes full-length research papers that cover different aspects of creating, maintaining and evaluating open source research software. The aim of the section is to promote the dissemination of best practice and experience related to the development and maintenance of reusable, sustainable research software.
- JORS believes that only the CC BY license meets the requirements for true open access for books and journals, and strongly prefers CC0 for open research data.

Journal of Open Source Software
- Overview
- The Journal of Open Source Software (JOSS) is dedicated to publishing open source research software. The formal peer-review process aims to 'improve the quality of the software submitted'. JOSS was established to allow researchers who have spent time and effort writing a software package to publish their work and make their package citable, without requiring them to spend additional time and effort writing a paper about the software. Each paper published by JOSS will receive a Crossref DOI and be available in the JOSS website. The submission process is characterised as being 'developer friendly', with a simple workflow and extensive documentation to aid in the process.
- Website
