IET Renewable Power Generation brings together the topics of renewable energy technology, power generation and systems integration. Specific technology areas covered by the journal include: wind power technology and systems; photovoltaics; solar thermal power generation; geothermal energy; fuel cells; wave power; marine current energy and biomass conversion.

Industrial Lubrication and Tribology highlights research and analysis of the developments in lubricants, including maximising the efficiency for different machines and finding sustainable alternatives to finite resources.

Inorganic Chemistry Frontiers welcomes research articles and review-type articles from all areas of inorganic chemistry. Emphases are placed on interdisciplinary studies where inorganic chemistry meets related areas, such as catalysis, biochemistry, nanoscience, energy, and materials science. Significant advances in inorganic chemistry and proved applications in other disciplines are essential. Together with Organic Chemistry Frontiers and Materials Chemistry Frontiers, this suite of journals offers an authoritative portfolio that is jointly owned by the Chinese Chemical Society, the Royal Society of Chemistry, and partner institutions.

Increasing awareness of the need to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels has led to the development of academic research and policy surrounding self-regenerating energy sources. International Journal of Ambient Energy reports original research, review papers, book reviews, applications and case-studies on all areas of this subject, including nuclear, hydroelectric, wind, biomass, solar, photovoltaic, tidal, wave and geothermal power. Particular attention is given to the use of renewable power within the built environment. Our aim is to provide a forum for the worldwide dissemination of both technical and policy information relating to ambient energy.All published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.DisclaimerTaylor & Francis makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of all the information (the 8220;Content8221;) contained in its publications.
