Overview of full open access energy journals in which energy research can be published (work in progess).
Energies
Open Access Energy Research, Engineering and Policy Journal
Energies (ISSN 1996-1073) is an open access journal of related scientific research, technology development and policy and management studies. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, and communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
Publication fees: 1500 CHF (€1400 in 2016)
Energy Reports
http://www.journals.elsevier.com/energy-reports/
Energy Reports is a new online multidisciplinary open access journal which focuses on publishing new research in the area of Energy with a rapid review and publication time. Energy Reports will be open to direct submissions and also to submissions from other Elsevier Energy journals, whose Editors have determined that Energy Reports would be a better fit.
Direct submissions to the journal can be on any aspect of energy research, either from a technical engineering viewpoint or from a social research aspect. All Energy subject areas will be considered (e.g. renewables, fossil, nuclear). Article length is limited to 4000 words (not including references) with normally no more than 5 figures and 3 tables (table and figures legends are not included in the aforementioned word limit). Energy Reports operates a single blind peer review and generally allows for only one revision iteration.
Publication fees: USD 1500 (€1400 in 2016)
International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management
https://journals.aau.dk/index.php/sepm
The journal is an international interdisciplinary journal in sustainable energy planning and management combining engineering and social science within energy system analysis, feasibility studies and public regulation. The journal especially welcomes papers within the following three focus areas:
- Energy System analysis including theories, methodologies, data handling and software tools as well as specific models and analyses at local, regional, country and/or global level.
- Economics, Socio economics and Feasibility studies including theories and methodologies of institutional economics as well as specific feasibility studies and analyses.
- Public Regulation and management including theories and methodologies as well as specific analyses and proposals in the light of the implementation and transition into sustainable energy systems.
Publication fees: The International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management is sponsor-financed with open access for both readers and authors.
Energy, Sustainability and Society
http://energsustainsoc.springeropen.com/
- This international peer‐reviewed open access journal offers a forum for discourse on systemic challenges at the intersection of energy, sustainability and society for natural scientists, engineers, social and political scientists and industry experts. It is the particular aim of this journal to publish inter‐ and cross‐disciplinary papers that provide a substantial contribution to the holistic innovation of sustainable energy systems.
- The scope of the journal encompasses the whole innovation process, ranging from scientific research to both innovative approaches for technology implementation and the analysis of economic, social and environmental impacts of sustainable energy systems. Papers that integrate at least two dimensions of the energy, sustainability and society nexus and contribute to new holistic system solutions for the development of novel future energy are welcomed. The journal strives to publish early scientific opinions on issues, which are just emerging and require crosscutting and creative thinking.
Publication fees: Energy, Sustainability and Society therefore levies an article-processing charge of £730/$1140/€930 for each article accepted for publication. If the corresponding author's institution is a Member, the cost of the article-processing charge is covered by the membership, and no further charge is payable. In the case of authors whose institutions are Supporter Members, however, a discounted article-processing charge is payable by the author.
Frontiers in Energy Research
http://journal.frontiersin.org/journal/energy-research/section/energy-systems-and-policy
This section of the open access journal FRONTIERS welcomes the submission of studies that examine the characteristics of new energy sources in a systemic way, such as the energy yield, the economic return, the pollution effects, and the sustainability of the system in terms of the natural resources that must be engaged.
Publication fees: depend on article type
- A Type Articles: Classification, Clinical Trial, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Original Research, Protocols, Review, Technology Report
- B Type Articles: Case Report, Clinic-Pathological Conference (CPC), Evaluation, Mini Review, Perspective
- C Type Articles: Code, Data Report, Opinion
- D Type Articles: Book Review, Core Concept (Young Minds), Editorial, Field Grand Challenge, Focused Review, Frontiers Commentary, General Commentary, New Discovery (Young Minds), Specialty Grand Challenge.
