Green Energy and Resources (GER) is launched as a multi-disciplinary, engineering science-focused and peer-reviewed international academic journal. GER publishes editorials, original articles, reviews, perspectives, short communication, letters to editor (correspondence) and special issues with a mission to report the leading-edge research, innovation, and adoption of green technologies and concepts in a timely manner, which could potentially deliver a step-change in green transformation and transition of our energy and industrial systems. GER will serve as a platform, linking the authors and readers, through reporting the innovative ideas, technologies and best practices to accelerate the transition of our industries from looked green to being green. GER has an overarching commitment to develop low-zero-negative carbon engineering.
Focal areas include, but are not limited to:
Transformative processes, systems and infrastructures for efficient harvesting, storage, and utilization of green energies, including solar, hydrogen, wind, marine, bioenergy, etc.
Efficient and secure solutions to sustainable exploration, manufacturing, utilization, recycling and restoration of green resources, including fuels, minerals, raw materials, and municipal and industrial wastes
Innovative technologies and engineering processes for the preparation and transformation of green materials, chemicals and other products
Research and deployment of novel concepts and technologies for low, zero or negative emissions
Policy, economic and social science research underpinning the development and deployment of green technologies
State-of-the-art research review and perspectives
PLEASE FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT THE REVIEW AND PUBLICATION OF YOUR ARTICLE IS AS SWIFT AND EFFICIENT AS POSSIBLE. THESE NOTES MAY BE COPIED FREELY.
Types of article
Editorials
Editorials are published by the Editor-in-Chief or other Editors, or by invitation from the Editor-in-Chief, the Editorial Board members or the Guest Editors. These focus attention on news, policies, opinions, contemporary important issues relevant to our Aims and Scope. They are designed to stimulate debate and discussion.
Research Article
Research Articles published by GER report original and previously unpublished work. A text length (excluding references) of approximately 4000-8000 words is advised, and brevity is encouraged. There should be no more than 9 figures and tables in the main text. Any additional figures and tables should be placed in Supplementary Material.
Reviews
Review articles present, contrast, and combine information from previously-published research to address a specific question or issue related to our Aims and Scope. Authors are required to integrate and critically analyze information from previous research. They should identify information gaps, make recommendations for future research, and draw conclusions based on the stated purpose of the review. Systematic methods, including comprehensive and clearly defined search strategies and study eligibility criteria, must be used to identify the relevant literature and current state of knowledge in an unbiased and comprehensive manner. On average, a text length (excluding references) of approximately 10000 words is advised, and brevity is encouraged.
Perspectives
Perspectives are short papers addressing a key, often emerging, research area. They should balance the personal view of the author and a reasoned discussion of recent results of great importance. While they often examine the evolution of the field, they are not meant as a mini review, but as a scholarly discussion that helps to identify new trends and developments in a given field. Perspective manuscripts should contain no more than 3000 words.
Short Communications
Short Communications may be submitted that express opinions and concerns, suggest research priorities and question conventional methodologies and conclusions. Manuscripts should include an Abstract, Introduction, Presentation of the Concerns or Analysis and Conclusions. References, Tables and Illustrations should be used sparingly. The manuscript should not exceed the equivalent of 3000 words, including figures and tables.
