About the journal

JRSE, published by the American Institute of Physics, is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal covering all areas of renewable and sustainable energy-related fields that apply to the physical science and engineering communities.  Content is published online daily, collected into bimonthly issues (6 times a year).  As an electronic-only, web-based journal with rapid publication time, JRSE is responsive to the many new developments expected in this field.  The interdisciplinary approach of the publication ensures that the editors draw from researchers worldwide in a diverse range of fields. 

 

Topics covered include:

 

Bioenergy – bioreactions and bioengineering

Geothermal energy – geysers, heat pumps, and novel devices

Marine and hydroelectric energy – waves, tides, and dams

Nuclear energy – fission, fusion, and related materials

Solar energy – photovoltaics and solar thermal converters

Wind energy – turbines and electrical systems and controls

Energy conversion – solid oxide and proton exchange membrane fuel cells and novel devices

Energy efficient buildings – photovoltaics, solar thermal converters, and passive solar approaches

Energy storage – hydrogen and batteries

Power distribution – conventional and superconducting transmission, fluctuating loads, and controls

Renewable energy resource assessment

Transportation – hydrogen, batteries, fuel cells, bioenergy, and vehicles

How to Prepare Your Manuscript

English-Language Editing: Journals published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP) are not able to provide free English-language editing services to authors, but those services are available to authors from several commercial vendors, including American Journal Experts (http://www.journalexperts.com) and SPi Professional Editing Services (http://www.prof-editing.com).  Interested authors should contact these service providers directly.  Since the AIP Journals have not used either of these commercial services, we cannot attest to the quality of their work.

 

For general format and style, consult recent issues of the journal. Link to the journal's General Editorial Policies here. 

 

Acceptable manuscript file types include Word, LaTeX, and PDF. PDF is acceptable for the review process only and a source Word or LaTex file is required for production. For authors who use LaTeX, REVTeX 4.1 is now available and includes style files for AIP journals and associated instructions. REVTeX 4.1 is available here.

 

Note for TeX users:

Please note that AIP does not compose/typeset pages in TeX. Instead we use the generic markup language XML (Extensible Markup Language). As a result, the format and layout, especially math, may look somewhat different to what was originally created in TeX.

 

While we appreciate the benefits to authors of preparing manuscripts in TeX, especially for math-intensive manuscripts, it is neither a cost-effective composition tool (for the volume of pages AIP currently produces) nor is it a format that can be used effectively for online publishing.

 

XML is critical to ensure that online content is discoverable, searchable, and accessible well into the future. It is a W3C standard that has been adopted by many publishers as well as by many software industry market leaders. Information in XML can be processed easily by computers and is both hardware and software independent. Tagged XML data is an ideal archive format as identification and extraction of specific content for reuse is relatively easy. A single XML source file is generated from authors’ TeX or Word files and feeds our entire process. All end-products and deliverables, whether print or electronic, are derived from this single XML file, reducing the chance of errors or inconsistencies.

 

Eight types of manuscripts are acceptable: Perspectives, Review Articles, Commentaries, Tutorials, Regular Articles, Letters, Comments, and Errata.

 

Perspectives are short articles that highlight recent exciting research on topics covered by the journal but do not primarily discuss the author’s own work. They may provide context for the findings within a field or explain potential interdisciplinary significance. Perspectives commenting on articles published in the journal or elsewhere should add a dimension to the current understanding and not merely be a summary of the results presented in those articles.

 

Review Articles describe new developments of interdisciplinary significance and highlight unresolved questions and future directions. A review article critically discusses recent published results within the scope of the chosen topic. Most Review Articles are solicited by the editors, but unsolicited submissions may also be considered.

 

Commentaries discuss nonscientific issues relating to renewable and sustainable energy, such as resources and resource management, energy policies, and environmental impacts. Commentaries should be well-reasoned, critical descriptions that do not merely publicize a specific agenda.

Tutorials guide readers into rapidly evolving topics and allow interested researchers and students from more distant fields to gain an insight into what they see as a new subject. Tutorials must contain considerable illustrations, cover the basics, and should serve as a learning tool for a wider community of researchers and students. Tutorials can also be based on an outstanding lecture series.

 

Regular Articles describe original research on a topic within the scope of the journal. While there is no limitation on the length of these articles, they are expected to be of reasonable length and referees are asked to comment explicitly on the concision of the presentation.

 

The Letters section provides rapid dissemination of important new results in the field.  Timeliness and current importance of the subject matter, and brevity and clarity of presentation determine the acceptibility of contributions.  When submitting a manuscript, inclusion of a brief statement justifying rapid publication in the Letters section is recommended.  Each Letter should be self-contained and may on occasion be followed by a comprehensive article in Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy or elsewhere.  Letters are limited to four (4) published pages in length.  Letters do not have section headings.

 

The purpose of a Comment is to correct significant errors in articles published in the journal, to take issue with the conclusions reached, or to provide additional insight or corroboration. Comments must be concise, substantive, and free of polemics. They must address scientific issues only. The Editors reserve the right to seek an appropriate Response and will decide on the acceptance of Comments for publication only after the two parties have submitted final versions of their pieces.

 

The journal publishes Errata, in which authors correct significant errors of substance in their published material. Errata should be as short as is consistent with clarity.

 

For all manuscript types, the Manuscript, including the abstract, references, and captions, should be set up for 21.6 × 28 cm (8-1/2 × 11 in. or A4) pages with ample margins. It should be carefully proofread by the author. The manuscript must be in good scientific American English; this is the author's responsibility. Number all pages in single sequence. The title page should contain the title of the article, the names of the authors, a suitable byline, and a short abstract. Parts of the manuscript should be arranged in the following order: title, author, affiliation, abstract, text, acknowledgments, appendices, and references. Papers should not be lengthened by unnecessary descriptions and repetitions, but neither should authors use a telegraphic style detrimental to the clarity and understanding of the paper.

The Title should be as concise as possible but sufficiently informative to describe the subject under discussion.

 

The Abstract should be self-contained (contain no footnotes). One should not have to read the paper to understand the abstract. It should be about 5% of the length of the article, but less than 500 words. The abstract should be written as one paragraph and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material.

 

Authors' names should preferably be written in a standard form for all publications to facilitate indexing and avoid ambiguities.

 

Authors with Chinese, Japanese, or Korean names may choose to have their names published in their own language alongside the English versions of their names in the author list of their publications.  For Chinese, authors may use either Simplified or Traditional characters. Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters must be included within the author list of the manuscript when submitting or resubmitting.  The manuscript must be prepared using Microsoft Word or using the CJK LaTeX package. Specific guidelines for each authoring tool are given here. To ensure that we have processed the manuscript files correctly, you must proof the PDF of the manuscript as produced by the Peer X-Press system on first submission. In addition, it is essential that you check carefully any production proofs you receive prior to the publication of your paper.

 

The manuscript should have an Introduction that places the work in a context, beginning with the general physical or mathematical problem to which it is directed, following with the motivation for the particular approach taken, and summarizing the principal results.

 

Equations should be well aligned and should not be crowded; only the more important ones should be numbered on the right-hand side of the manuscript. Equations should be numbered consecutively throughout, i.e., (1), (2), (3), etc. [The form (1.1), (1.2), etc., in Sec. I, (2.1), (2.2), etc., in Sec. II, and so on is acceptable, but not preferred.] Several equations grouped together may be given letters to distinguish them [for example, (2a), (2b), (2c)]. A later, somewhat changed version of an earlier equation may be labeled with a prime [for example, (1), (2), (3), (1'), (4), etc.]. Other numbering schemes are unacceptable and will be changed. Use center dot only to indicate dot products and a boldfaced cross (×) to indicate a cross product. Use a lightface cross product (×) to indicate multiplication which is continued to the next line. The solidus (/) should be used instead of built-up fractions in running text, and in display wherever clarity would not be jeopardized. Use "exp" for complicated exponents. Avoid repetition of a complicated expression by representing it with a standard, commonly used symbol.

 

Notation must be legible, clear, compact, and consistent with standard usage. All unusual symbols whose identity may not be obvious must be identified the first time they appear, and at all subsequent times when confusion might arise. Superscripts are normally set directly over subscripts; authors should note where readability or the meaning requires a special order.

 

References and footnotes are treated alike. They must be numbered consecutively in order of first appearance in the text and should be given in a separate double-spaced list at the end of the text material. Reference should be made to the full list of authors, rather than to first author followed by an abbreviation such as et al. References within tables should be designated by lowercase Roman letter superscripts and given at the end of the table. For the proper form, see recent issues of this journal. Preprints of cited unpublished work by the authors should be sent with the manuscript.

 

Separate Tables (numbered with Roman numerals in the order of their appearance in the text) should be used for all but the simplest tabular material; they should have captions that make the tables intelligible without reference to the text. The structure should be clear, with simple column headings giving all units. Unaltered computer output and notation are generally unacceptable.
