Frontiers in Energy

INSTRUCTIONS FOR AUTHORS

May 15, 2020

General information

Frontiers

in Energy is an international peer-reviewed academic journal sponsored

by the Ministry of Education of China. The journal is jointly published

by Higher Education Press of China and Springer on a quarterly basis in

English. Online versions are available through both

http://www.springer.com/11708 and http://journal.hep.com.cn.

The

journal publishes primarily research article and review article by

following the peer- review system. Two reviewers are requested in the

relevant study fields, and review feed-back will usually take about one

month.

Duplicate/previous publication or submission

Manuscripts

submitted to this journal must not be under simultaneous consideration

by any other publisher and should not have been published elsewhere in

substantially similar form. No part of a paper which has been published

by Frontiers in Energy may be reproduced or published elsewhere without

the written permission of the publisher.

Ethical responsibilities of authors

This

journal is committed to upholding the integrity of the scientific

record. As a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) the

journal will follow the COPE guidelines on how to deal with potential

acts of misconduct.  

Authors

should refrain from misrepresenting research results which could damage

the trust in the journal and ultimately the entire scientific endeavor.

Maintaining integrity of the research and its presentation can be

achieved by following the rules of good scientific practice, which

includes:

•The manuscript has not been submitted to more than one journal for simultaneous consideration.

•The

manuscript has not been published previously (partly or in full),

unless the new work concerns an expansion of previous work (please

provide transparency on the re-use of material to avoid the hint of

text-recycling (“self-plagiarism”)).

•A

single study is not split up into several parts to increase the

quantity of submissions and submitted to various journals or to one

journal over time (e.g.  “salami-publishing”).

•No data have been fabricated or manipulated (including images) to support your conclusions.

•No

data, text, or theories by others are presented as if they were the

authors own (“plagiarism”). Proper acknowledgements to other works must

be given (this includes material that is closely copied (near verbatim),

summarized and/or paraphrased), quotation marks are used for verbatim

copying of material, and permissions are secured for material that is

copyrighted.

Important note: the journal may use software to screen for plagiarism.

•Consent

to submit has been received from all co-authors and responsible

authorities at the institute/organization where the work has been

carried out before the work is submitted.

•Authors

whose names appear on the submission have contributed sufficiently to

the scientific work and therefore share collective responsibility and

accountability for the results.

In addition:

•Changes of authorship or in the order of authors are not accepted after acceptance of a manuscript.

•Requests

to add or delete authors at revision stage or after publication is a

serious matter, and may be considered only after receipt of written

approval from all authors and detailed explanation about the

role/deletion of the new/deleted author. The decision on accepting the

change rests with the Editor-in-Chief of the journal.

•Upon

request authors should be prepared to send relevant documentation or

data in order to verify the validity of the results. This could be in

the form of raw data, samples, records, etc.

If

there is a suspicion of misconduct, the journal will carry out an

investigation following the COPE guidelines.  If, after investigation,

the allegation seems to raise valid concerns, the accused author will be

contacted and given an opportunity to address the issue. If misconduct

has been proven, this may result in the Editor-in-Chief’s implementation

of the following measures, including, but not limited to:

-If the article is still under consideration, it may be rejected and returned to the author.

-If

the article has already been published online, depending on the nature

and severity of the infraction, either an erratum will be placed with

the article or in severe cases complete retraction of the article will

occur. The reason must be given in the published erratum or retraction

note.

-The author’s institution may be informed.

Disclosure of potential conflict of interests

Authors

must disclose all relationships or interests that could influence or

bias the work. Although an author may not feel there are conflicts,

disclosure of relationships and interests affords a more transparent

process, leading to an accurate and objective assessment of the work.

Awareness of real or perceived conflicts of interests is a perspective

to which the readers are entitled and is not meant to imply that a

financial relationship with an organization that sponsored the research

or compensation for consultancy work is inappropriate. Examples of

potential conflicts of interests that are directly or indirectly related

to the research may include but are not limited to the following:

•Research grants from funding agencies (please give the research funder and the grant number)

•Honoraria for speaking at symposia

•Financial support for attending symposia

•Financial support for educational programs

•Employment or consultation

•Support from a project sponsor

•Position on advisory board or board of directors or other type of management relationships

•Multiple affiliations

•Financial relationships, for example equity ownership or investment interest

•Intellectual property rights (e.g. patents, copyrights and royalties from such rights)

•Holdings of spouse and/or children that may have financial interest in the work

In

addition, interests that go beyond financial interests and compensation

(non-financial interests) that may be important to readers should be

disclosed. These may include but are not limited to personal

relationships or competing interests directly or indirectly tied to this

research, or professional interests or personal beliefs that may

influence your research.

The

corresponding author collects the conflict of interest disclosure forms

from all authors. In author collaborations where formal agreements for

representation allow it, it is sufficient for the corresponding author

to sign the disclosure form on behalf of all authors.  Examples of forms

can be found here (link to various forms TO BE INCLUDED).

The

corresponding author will include a summary statement in the text of

the manuscript in a separate section before the reference list, that

reflects what is recorded in the potential conflict of interest

disclosure form(s).

See below examples of disclosures:

Funding: This study was funded by X (grant number X).

Conflict

of Interest: Author A has received research grants from Company A.

Author B has received a speaker honorarium from Company X and owns stock

in Company Y. Author C is a member of committee Z.

If no conflict exists, the authors should state:

Conflict of Interest: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.

Article Categories

The following categories of papers can be submitted to the journal:

Rapid Communications: focusing on the speedy dissemination of highly original and important new work (no more than three pages)

Research Articles: describing original investigations relevant to energy

Review

Articles: giving an in-depth overview of certain topic or a review of

one’s own work or work of a laboratory or a group of researchers

Feature Articles: providing overview on certain topic written by well known scientists in the field

Manuscript preparation and submission requirements

Manuscript submission

Authors

are encouraged to submit their papers electronically via the online

submission system (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/fie). The web site

guides authors stepwise through the creation and uploading of the

various files. Note that original source files, not PDF files, are

required. Once the submission files are uploaded, the system

automatically generates an electronic (PDF) proof, which is then used

for reviewing. All correspondence, including the editor's decision and

request for revisions, will be by e-mail. After reviewing process, the

manuscript will be finally judged by one of the editors who have the

right to accept or reject a paper.

Submission requirements

Cover letter

A

covering letter must accompany each submission indicating the name,

address, and telephone number of the author to whom all correspondence

is to be addressed. An affiliation must be supplied for each author.

Authors are also asked to provide the names and contact information for

four potential referees in their cover letter. However, the journal is

not obliged to use the suggested reviewers. Final selection of reviewers

will be determined by the editors.

Manuscript for research articles

Manuscripts

should be in a Word format. The following components are required for a

complete manuscript: Title, Author(s), Author affiliation(s), Abstract,

Keywords, Nomenclature (when needed), Main text, References,

Acknowledgements, Appendices, Figure captions, Tables. Include page

numbers on the document, beginning with the title page as number 1. It

will be preferred if line numbers are included as well. There is no

formal limit for the length of a paper, but the editors may recommend

condensation when appropriate.

Please use standard 10- or 12-point Times New Roman fonts.

Title.  The title of the paper should be explicit, descriptive and as brief as possible – no more than 20 words in length.

Running title.  A short version of the paper title (up to 80 characters including space).

Author names, (academic degrees) and affiliations.

Where

the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate

this clearly. Present the authors’ affiliation addresses (where the

actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a

lowercase superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in

front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of

each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the

e-mail address of each author.

Clearly

indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and

publication, also post-publication. The telephone and mobile numbers

(with country and area code) in addition to the e-mail address and the

complete postal address of the corresponding author should be given.

Example:

Jinzhi FENG, Jun LI, R. M. Goodall

Department name, University name, City name postal code, Country name

E-mail:********

Corresponding

author. The e-mail address of the corresponding author should be given

on the first page of the manuscript. In the case of multiple authors,

one should be designated as the corresponding author.

Abstract.

A short abstract of up to 300 words written in one paragraph, clearly

indicating the object and scope of the paper as well as the results

achieved, should appear on the first page.

Keywords.  Up to 6 words separated by commas.

Headings

and subheadings.  Headings and subheadings should be used throughout

the text to divide the subject matter into its important, logical parts.

Typical headings include: Introduction, Materials and methods, Results,

Discussion, Conclusions, Acknowledgments, Appendixes and References.

Tables.

Table requirements

Authors

should take notice of the limitations set by the size and layout of the

journal. Large tables should be avoided. Reversing columns and rows

will often reduce the dimensions of a table.

If many data are to be presented, an attempt should be made to divide them over two or more tables.

1.

Supply units of measure at the heads of the columns. Abbreviations that

are used only in a table should be defined in the footnotes to that

table.

2.

Should always use rows and columns to correlate two variables.

Submitted single-spaced and in the word processing software used. Do not

embed tables as graphic files, document objects, or pictures.

3.

Submitted as three-line tables, that is, there are three horizontal

lines: one under the legend, one under the column heads, and one below

the body. Vertical lines are generally not used.

4.

Label each table at the top with a Roman numeral followed by the table

title. Insert explanatory material and footnotes below the table.

Designate footnotes using lowercase superscript letters (a, b, c)

reading horizontally across the table.

5. Unless needed, all the words within the tables should be in lowercases.

6. Must be sequentially numbered and called out in the text as, e.g. Table 1.

Figures.

Graphs

should be practically self-explanatory. Readers should be able to

understand them at a glance. Dimensional drawings and diagrams should

include only the essential details and as little lettering as possible.

They should present more of a picture than a working drawing. If you use

the figures from other literature, please obtain the reprint permission

from the original publisher.

Figure requirements

1.Size: should be drawn in the size of they virtually appear.

2.Numbering

and title: number all figures (graphs, charts, photographs, and

illustrations) in the order of their citation in the text and cited as,

e.g. Fig. 1. Include a title for each figure (a brief phrase, preferably

no longer than 10 to 15 words). Use (a), (b), (c)… to give titles for

subfigures if there are any.

3.Figure

quality: should be sharp, noise-free, and of good contrast. All

lettering should be large enough to permit legible reduction. The figure

quality should meet the requirements as shown below:

4.Color of figures: unless necessary, better drawn in black and white for line-drawing; and grayscale for images.

5.Figure

file formats and location in manuscript: should not be embedded in word

or LaTeX processing documents but rather submitted in TIFF, EPS or

CorelDraw file formats. Legends should appear, separate from the figures

themselves, where the figures should be located within the paper.

6.Maps:

It is strongly recommend that you do not use maps. Any maps drawn

without an authorized basis have to be submitted with the certificate

from the Surveying and Mapping management, which is undoubtedly

time-consuming and troublesome.

7.Unless needed, all the words within the figures should be in lowercases.

Formulae and equations.

1.Formulae should be typewritten whenever possible.

2.It

is extremely important that all mathematical symbols and letters used

are identified and listed and that the required style of appearance of

such symbols is clearly indicated, e.g., bold face, italics, script,

outline, etc.

3.Subscripts and superscripts should be set off clearly.

4.Identify in the margin any symbols that might be confused with similar symbols.

5.The

words Equation or Equations should appear in full at the beginning of

sentences but be abbreviated to Eq. or Eqs. elsewhere.

6.A

nomenclature can be included (with the use of = signs) after the

abstract if there is a significant number of symbols in the paper.

Equations should be located separately from other lines if they are long or complicated.

Abbreviations

Do

not use abbreviations in the title or abstract and limit their use in

the text. Expand all abbreviations at first mention in the text.

Footnotes

Footnotes

should only be used if absolutely essential. In most cases it will be

possible to incorporate the information in normal text.

If used, they should be numbered in the text, indicated by superscript numbers, and kept as short as possible.

Units of measure

Laboratory

values are expressed using conventional units of measure, with relevant

Système International (SI) conversion factors expressed secondarily (in

parentheses) only at first mention. In tables and figures, a conversion

factor to SI should be presented in the footnote or legend. The metric

system is preferred for the expression of length, area, mass, and

volume. For more details, see the Units of Measure conversion table

(absent).

Acknowledgements

The

Acknowledgements section is the general term for the list of sponsor

and financial support, contributions, credits, and other information

included at the end of the text of a manuscript but before the

references. Conflicts of interest and financial disclosures must be

listed in this section. Authors should obtain written permission to

include the names of individuals in the Acknowledgements section.

Appendixes (if needed)

Appendix A

 A1, A2, A3…

Appendix B

Appendix C…

Manuscript for review articles

Reviews give a general overview of a particular field, providing the reader with an

appreciation of the importance of the work, historical context, a summary of recent

developments, and a starting point in the specialist literature. Manuscripts should be

divided

into appropriate sections, with an extensive list of references. In

addition to undergoing the same rigorous level of technical peer-review

as Research papers, Review articles will be critiqued based on the

general impact of the field being reviewed, the relevance of the field

to experimental mechanics, preexisting reviews of the field, and

acknowledgement of the contributing author as a dominant figure in the

field. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that authors interested in

submitting a Review article correspond with the Editor prior to

submission. General formatting text, illustrations, and references are

the same as outlined for research papers.

Citations and References

In-text

citations must agree with the references in either numbering or order.

The references should be presented completely and without mistakes, and

should be the original publication. References cited in the text should

be numbered consecutively by Arabic numerals. The numerals should be in

bracket. In the reference section, references should be listed in the

same order as cited in the text. Grouped citations should be separated

by comma (two or non-consecutive references) or connected by hyphen (no

less than three consecutive references): e.g., [1, 2], [1-5], or [1-3,

5]. Journal names should be given in full.
