Instructions for authors

This journal uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to peer review manuscript submissions. Please read the guide for ScholarOne authors before making a submission. Complete guidelines for preparing and submitting your manuscript to this journal are provided below.

Aims and Scope

 

Energy Sources, Part B is a peer-reviewed, international, interdisciplinary journal of science and technology that serves as a forum for the reporting and investigation of economic and political trends and issues relating to the use of fossil fuels and alternate fuel sources. Energy Sources, Part B will carry articles related to the continuing increases in worldwide energy costs and diminishing accessibility of fossil energy resources, and the economic impact of energy use on the environment. In addition to the petroleum-related articles (that also includes articles related to heavy oil), the economic and political aspects of the development and use of coal, geothermal energy, natural gas, nuclear energy, ocean thermal gradients, oil shale, organic waste, solar energy, tar, sand, and wind will be covered. Full-length research articles dealing with completed research projects and invited review papers reporting on the economic and developmental state of the art in extraction and conversion of energy sources, as well as on their impact on the environment, are welcome. Energy Sources, Part B will also publish selected proceedings from a conference or a collection of papers dealing with a single topic.
