Journal Guide

Significant changes are occurring in the field of power and energy, from the new types of plant being introduced in the developed world to the growth in electricity demand in the developing nations. Environmental legislation is affecting the use of fossil fuels and encouraging renewable energy developments. Safety, waste disposal and new plant financing continue to be concerns for nuclear power, while the increased availability of natural gas is being exploited in combined cycles and cogeneration. Against this changing scene, scientific discovery, increased computer power and new material developments are producing cost savings and plant performance improvements.The Journal of Power and Energy covers all aspects of energy conversion systems, including power generation, transmission and use. In addition to technical developments, interests include environmental, economic and policy issues. The scope extends to include:Power and Energy Systems Power generation using innovative and conventional sources including fossil, nuclear, and renewable systems. Energy storage, regenerative and fuel cell systems. Advanced and innovative cycles. Energy systems including energy management in buildings, air conditioning, refrigeration, heat pipes.Issues Emissions reduction, environmental policy, carbon mitigation including both efficiency improvements and CO2 capture and storage, fuel flexibility, hydrogen economy, waste management, power plant health and safety. Decommissioning, disposal and storage of nuclear plant and material. Changes in infrastructure, transmission and distribution. Demand reduction -advanced control, hybrid photovoltaic and ventilation.Components Typically boilers, gas, steam and wind turbines, compressor, combustion and turbine systems, I.C. engines (non-automotive), heat exchangers and cooling systems, heat recovery steam generators, pumps and fans.Techniques and methods The journal covers thermo-economic optimisation, health monitoring, life cycle analysis, operation and maintenance, and energy systems instrumentation, simulation and management. We also publish papers on fluid mechanics and thermodynamics, including CFD, heat transfer and combustion if they are clearly related to power systems or their components.

Conservation of energy requires an efficient combustion of fossil fuels, and the protection of the environment demands a limitation of the pollutants emitted from combustion systems. Progress in Energy and Combustion Science contains articles by internationally recognized authors in the fields of combustion, flames, fuel science and technology and energy studies.Each volume contains a number of specially commissioned review articles on a specific topic, which provides the reader with an orderly and concise survey of a particular aspect of combustion and energy. The length of the articles allows authors to discuss their subjects more fully and comprehensively than can be undertaken in papers reporting original work. These review articles provide an opportunity for research workers to become usefully informed in fields other than their own. They are of use to students seeking a review of a particular subject, together with a comprehensive bibliography. Certain volumes are also aimed at engineers working in government and industrial research establishments, seeking practical solutions to problems in the fields of energy and pollution.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Please note the following:
1) PNE seeks high quality research papers which are medium to long in length. Short research papers should be submitted to the journal Annals in Nuclear Energy.
2) PNE reserves the right to reject papers which are based solely on routine application of computer codes used to produce reactor designs or explain existing reactor phenomena. Such papers, although worthy, are best left as laboratory reports whereas Progress in Nuclear Energy seeks papers of originality, which are archival in nature, in the fields of mathematical and experimental nuclear technology, including fission, fusion (blanket physics, radiation damage), safety, materials aspects, economics, etc.
3) Review papers, which may occasionally be invited, are particularly sought by the journal in these fields.

Progress in Photovoltaics offers a prestigious forum for reporting advances in this rapidly developing technology, right through from research to practical application, and aims to reach all interested professionals, researchers, and energy policy-makers. The journal's Editorial Board is drawn from many countries with a deliberate balance of interests between research, industrial development and practical operation of PV systems, and plays an essential role in the refereeing of contributions.Contributions in the form of Full Papers and Short Communications are invited on the full range of PV topics and concerns. All submissions are rigorously peer reviewed.

The journal serves as a platform for academic exchange by experts, scholars and researchers in these fields.

At the heart of open access for the global chemistry community. RSC Advances publishes advances in chemistry, and in topics of interest to the chemistry community.

RSC Applied Polymers is a leading international journal for the application of polymers, including experimental and computational studies on both natural and synthetic systems. The journal is a premier cross-disciplinary publishing home for scientific research that leverages polymeric materials in a range of applications, welcoming high-impact advances made possible with polymers across materials, biology, energy applications, and beyond. Polymer researchers across chemistry, materials science, biology, and engineering, are all welcome to share timely and impactful contributions, connecting fundamental scientific insights to performance-related metrics. The journal welcomes research on the application of polymers in different areas, and the relationship to structure and/or composition, as afforded by synthesis and/or processing. Our RSC Applied journals are dedicated to materials science research with a strong focus on innovation in the application, and sit alongside Journals of Materials Chemistry A, B and C in terms of quality and impact.

RSC Sustainability welcomes all solutions-focused research dedicated to solving sustainability challenges. This includes, but is not limited to, technologies to achieve responsible consumption and production of chemical products (UN’s SDG:12), such as for the efficient use of nature’s resources, the elimination of hazardous substances in the production and use of chemical products (sustainable and green chemistry), their reuse and recycling (circular economy) and methods to analyse these (techno-enviro-economics). Beyond this, RSC Sustainability champions chemical science discoveries that contribute to and enable any of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, celebrates multidisciplinary collaboration, and welcomes work from the academic, industry, regulatory and government sectors.
