AIM AND SCOPE:
The International Journal of Contemporary ENERGY is a new multi–disciplinary journal covering research and analysis in the energy field, thermal science and engineering, as well as energy production, conversion, conservation, planning, management and optimal use of energy resources.
Thus, papers on all sustainable energy production systems, modelling and forecasting of electricity supply and demand, energy efficiency, the environmental, social and economic impacts of energy policies and usage, including climate change mitigation and other environmental pollution reduction are welcome.
The Journal of Contemporary ENERGY aims to reach and to bridge the gap between researchers, scientists, engineers, technology developers, strategy planners, policy makers, energy regulators and lawyers and academic professionals. Thus, it provides an active interface between theory, science and practice serving both researches and practising professionals.
LANGUAGE:
The International Journal of Contemporary ENERGY is published in English and accepts contributions written only in English.It is an open–access electronic journal.

The International Journal of Contemporary ENERGY is committed to publishing original papers (theoretical, experimental and numerical) communicating both recent research findings and innovative new practice, review articles, technical reports and notes, case studies, conference reports, book reviews and news.
Original paper must be either of a current general interest or of a great significance to readers.
Review introduces a particular area through a concise overview of a selected topic.
Suggestions for special issues and publications devoted to some newsworthy theme are welcome.
Abstracts or short summaries of the M. Sc. and Ph. D. thesis defended at Universities are also welcome.
