Energy & Environmental Science
Guidelines for Authors
1.0 General policy
Energy & Environmental Science is a high-quality international journal for the publication of original research papers, Reviews and Communications in all areas of the chemical sciences relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies and environmental science. The journal is published monthly, and there is no page charge for articles published in Energy & Environmental Science.
The journal recognises the complexity of issues and challenges relating to energy and environmental science and therefore particularly welcomes work of an interdisciplinary nature across both the (bio)chemical sciences and chemical engineering disciplines.
Topics include:
- Solar energy conversion and photovoltaics
- Fuel cells
- Hydrogen storage and (bio) hydrogen production
- Materials for energy systems
- Carbon capture and storage
- Catalysis for a variety of feedstocks (e.g. oil, gas, coal, biomass and synthesis gas)
- Biofuels and biorefineries
- Global atmospheric chemistry
- Climate change
- Artificial photosynthesis
- Life cycle assessment
- Chemicals from carbon dioxide
- Energy systems and networks
- Nuclear power including fusion technologies
Papers must report very high quality new work which makes a significant contribution within the scope of the journal. Fragmentation of a substantial body of work into a number of short publications is strongly discouraged.
Further notes on RSC policy on the initial assessment of submissions, and details of criteria for publication, can be found on ReSourCe.
