The mission of Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews is to communicate the nigh interesting and relevant disquisitional thinking in renewable and sustainable energy in social club to bring together the research community, the individual sector and policy and conclusion makers. The aim of the journal is to share problems, solutions, novel ideas and technologies to back up the transition to a low carbon hereafter and attain our global emissions targets as established by the Un Framework Convention on Climate Change.
The journal considers articles on the post-obit themes, provided the link to renewable and sustainable free energy is clear and thoroughly examined:
- Applications - buildings, industry and transport
- Energy resources - bioresources (due east.g. biomass, waste matter), fossil fuels (including natural gas), geothermal, hydrogen, hydropower, nuclear, marine and bounding main free energy, materials, solar and wind
- Environment - temper, climate issues, meteorology, mitigation technologies (due east.g. carbon capture and storage (CCS), carbon capture and utilization (CCU), solar radiation direction)
- Education - informing society including policy makers and decision-makers and teaching undergraduates and postgraduates on matters relating to renewable and sustainable energy
- Systems - carbon accounting, free energy-nutrient-water nexus, energy modelling, life cycle assessment (LCA), food-energy-water (NEW) nexus, smart infrastructure including smart cities
- Sustainability - the United nations Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs)
- Techno-socio-economic aspects - health, industry, markets, policy, political, regulatory, social (e.g. admission, education, equality, disinterestedness)
- Utilization - batteries, conversion technologies, fuel cells, storage
Types of Paper
Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews publishes 'Addendum,' 'Editorials,' 'Full-length articles' (i.eastward. complete report on original research), 'Retractions/Corrigendum' and 'Review manufactures.' The journal also publishes two specific article types, 'Good Insights', a mini-review and 'Cutting Edge', a concise research article. These articles are by invitation only from the Editor in Chief to field leaders on topics of meaning involvement. Special issue manufactures are also by invitation only and authors of papers submitted to a Special Issue must state conspicuously in their comprehend letter the commodity blazon (i.e. either a 'Review article' or 'Full-length article'). Case studies and new engineering analyses must accept a significant review element, which may take the form of a critique, comparison, or assay. Case studies will only be considered if they also demonstrate the applicability of the work to other regions and/or inform the broader field of renewable and sustainable energy. A instance study will be classified as a 'Full-length article'. A bibliographic or literature review, without critical thinking is non considered suitable. If an author selects an wrong commodity type, their paper can be rejected past the journal at whatever stage of consideration for publication. 'Perspectives' are an article type reserved for opinions, withal supported by evidence, but not always presenting new experimental findings.

Authors must state the number of words in their manuscript at submission stage underneath the abstract every bit a 'give-and-take count.' Case studies as 'Full-length articles' should also exist between 4000 and 8000 words (excluding title, author names and affiliations, keywords, abbreviations, table/figure captions, acknowledgements and references). Expert Insights as mini-review article should be well-nigh four,000 (excluding championship, author names and affiliations, keywords, abbreviations, table/figure captions, acknowledgements and references).
