Instructions to Authors
Energy Policy is an international journal published 15 times a year by Elsevier Science Limited. The journal addresses the economic, environmental, political, planning and social aspects of energy supply and utilization which confront decision makers, corporate planners, managers, consultants, politicians and researchers. Major articles cover a comprehensive range of subject areas from national energy pricing to energy efficiency potential in the domestic sector; from the politics of US energy policy to the economic evaluation of nuclear power; from the environmental impacts of energy use to energy demand management in developing countries.
Articles should be 6000-8000 words long. although articles longer than 8000 words will be accepted on an occasional basis, if the topic demands this length of treatment. Authors are responsible for ensuring that all manuscripts (whether original or revised) are accurately typed before final submission. Manuscripts will be returned to the author with a set of instructions if they are not submitted according to our style.
Contributions are normally received with the understanding that they comprise original, unpublished material and are not being submitted for publication elsewhere. Translated material, which has not been published in English, will also be considered.
All articles are refereed to ensure both accuracy and relevance, and amendments to the script may thus be required before final acceptance. On acceptance contributions are subject to editorial amendment to suit house style, but authors will receive proofs for approval before publication.
ON-LINE SUBMISSION
Authors can submit articles to Energy Policy via the Author Gateway at http://authors.elsevier.com/journal/enpol. This is the preferred and fastest route to publication.
The easy-to-use submission system features a wide range of functions and capabilities designed to streamline the submission procedure:
- Step-by-step instructions assist authors throughout the entire submission process
- Submitted articles are automatically converted to PDF files for fast and easy downloading, printing and reviewing
- Information can be accessed from anywhere, anytime - authors simply login to view submitted articles, make revisions, or check the status of the reviewing process
As well as benefiting authors, e-submission facilitates the entire editorial process:
- Submitted file is sent by the Editor to selected reviewers via e-mail
- System automatically informs author of every step of the peer review process
- Data is regularly backed up on Elsevier's secure servers
- After acceptance authors can track their paper through the stages of production right up to publication
Articles can be uploaded from Microsoft?? (MS) Word?? or WordPerfect??. It is also possible to submit the article in Postscript or Adobe?? Acrobat?? PDF format, but if the article is accepted it will be necessary to send in the original source files. The system generates an Adobe Acrobat PDF version of the article which is used for the reviewing process. It is crucial that all graphical and tabular elements be placed within the text, so that the file is suitable for reviewing. Authors, Reviewers and Editors send and receive all correspondence by email amd no paper correspondence is necessary. Note that compuscripts are converted into PDF for the review process but may need to be edited after acceptance to follow journal standards. For this an "editable" file format is necessary.
Note for on-line submission of revised articles: All authors using the on-line submisison tool to submit revised articles to the journal should highlight this in their cover letter and quote the paper's unique Editorial Office reference number. Revised articles should be submitted as LaTex, Microsoft?? (MS) Word?? or WordPerfect?? source files and not Adobe?? Acrobat?? PDF files.
TEXT PREPARATION ON DISK
Elsevier Science encourages submissions to the journal on disk. The electronic version on disk should only be sent with the final accepted version of the paper to the Editor.
The hard copy and electronic files must match exactly.
SHORTER ITEMS
The Viewpoint section exists for the expression of opinion, and allows authors to submit material which might not be appropriate for full-length articles but which contains ideas worthy of publication (1500-2500 words).
Book reviews are welcomed (800-1200 words).
Conference reports (1000-1500 words).
Notices of forthcoming meetings for listing in the Calendar section are also welcomed. Entries must be received at least three months before publication.
Shorter items must be typed in the same way as major articles.
PRESENTATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
Manuscripts must be typed in journal style on one side only of International Standard Size A4 paper, with a left-hand margin of 40 mm. The main text should be double-spaced and the abstract, footnotes and references triple-spaced.
Number every sheet.
Arrangement of papers
1. Short title (up to 40 characters including spaces), subtitle (if desired), author's name, affiliation, full postal address and telephone and fax numbers. Respective affiliations and addresses of co-authors should be clearly indicated.
2. Self-contained abstract of up to 150 to 200 words outlining in a single paragraph the aims, scope and conclusions of the paper; acknowledgements (if any); article title abbreviated appropriately for use as a running headline.
3. Three keywords
4. Main body of text, suitably divided under headings
5. References
6. Appendices
7. Tables (each on separate sheet)
8. Captions to illustrations (on a separate sheet)
9. Illustrations (each on a separate sheet containing no text)
Each sheet must carry the abbreviated title of the article and the journal name.

All measurements should be given in metric (SI) units.
Authors are urged to write as concisely as possible, but not at the expense of clarity. Descriptive or explanatory passages, necessary as information but which tend to break up the flow of text, should be put into appendices. Where possible, however, appendices should be avoided.
REFERENCES AND NOTES
Authors' names (no initials) and dates (and specific pages, only in the case of quotations) are given in the main body of the text, eg (Baumol and Oates, 1988, p 121). References are listed alphabetically at the end of the paper, double spaced and conform to current journal style:
For journals: Eden, R J (1993) 'World energy to 2050: outline scenarios for energy and electricity' Energy Policy 21 (3) 231-237
For books: Baumal, W J and Oates, W E (1988) The Theory of Environmental Policy Cambridge, Cambridge University Press
For chapters of edited books: Sinyak, Y (1992) 'Models and projections of energy use in the Soviet Union' in Sterner, T (ed) International Energy Economics London, Chapman & Hall
For grey literature: Barker, T S, Baylis, S and Lewney, R (1991) 'Can Britain meet the Toronto CO2 target?' paper presented to Energy, the Environment and Economic Policy conference, Cambridge, 1-2 July 1991
Other publications: Where there is doubt include all the bibliographical details
Footnotes, where unavoidable, should be indicated in the text by superior Arabic numerals which run consecutively through the paper. They should be grouped together in a section at the end of the text in numerical order and double spaced.
TABLES
Tables should be numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and given a suitable caption. Notes and references within tables should be included with the tables, separately from the main text. Notes should be referred to by superscript letters. All table columns should have an explanatory heading. Tables should not repeat data available elsewhere in the article, eg, in an illustration.
ILLUSTRATIONS
All illustrations, for either electronic or hard-copy submissions, should be provided in camera-ready form, suitable for reproduction (which may include reduction) without retouching. Photographs, charts and diagrams are all to be referred to as "Figure(s)" and should be numbered consecutively in the order to which they are referred. They should accompany the manuscript, but should not be included within the text. All figures are to have a caption. Captions should be supplied on a separate page. For specific enquiries on the preparation of electronic artwork, consult http://authors.elsevier.com/artwork. Where colour figures are required the author will be charged at the current printing costs.
MULTI MEDIA COMPONENTS
