Energy (ENER) is pleased to announce the creation of an Early Career Reviewer Board.

About the journal

Energy is at the forefront of the challenges of climate change, energy security, and affordability. The journal publishes ground-breaking original research papers and critical reviews on energy developments in industry and academia. It provides a forum for discussion for engineers and researchers working to meet these challenges for our energy infrastructure in the 21st century.

The journal wishes to support innovation in all aspects of energy within the context of ‘transitions in the era of climate change’. Contributions with an emphasis on whole-life carbon and cost reduction are particularly encouraged. To submit to our journal is free. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable using the DOI system.

A non-exhaustive list of topics includes: sustainable energy technologies and sources; energy systems integration; fossil fuel prospects; carbon dioxide (CO2) capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS); nuclear power, including modular nuclear reactors; bioenergy; offshore wind turbines and foundations; electricity generation and transmission; smart grids; energy demand reduction, conservation, efficiency and productivity in homes, businesses, industry, transport and the electricity sector; energy storage for heat and electricity; energy systems integration; and energy policy.

The role of the Early Career Reviewer

As strong believers in positive change and impact, ENER decided to develop an Early Career Reviewer Board (ECRB) to give Early Career Researchers the means to participate within a journal publishing environment and to be involved in developing ENER for the community along with the Editor, Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members.

Selected applicants will be appointed to the ECRB for 2 years, after which there may be the opportunity to be appointed to the Editorial Board in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief. Each successful member will be expected to review 3 to 4 new papers per year. Guidance will be provided for the journal’s submission system, ReView.

Applications

Please email the Commissioning Editor ([email protected]) with a statement (no more than 400 words) on why you would like to work on ENER and what you can bring to the journal, along with a copy of a two-page CV. Please use 'ENER ECRB' in your subject line.

Please do also include the following in your application:

  • Mention of your primary areas of research and/or professional expertise
  • LinkedIn account (if applicable)
  • Google Scholar (if applicable)
  • ORCID ID

Early Career Researchers are those who have up to eight years since they earned their doctoral degree (excluding career breaks).
