Journal status: The journal is experiencing an increasing submission rate of out-of-scope manuscripts, which takes away precious time from in-scope articles. We therefore intermittently close for new submissions.

 

The IJSEPM is an international interdisciplinary journal in Sustainable Energy Planning and Management combining engineering and social science within Energy System Analysis, Feasibility Studies and Public Regulation.

The journal focuses strictly on:

- Energy System analysis of the transition to sustainable energy systems. This includes specific scenarios, models and analyses at local, regional, country and global level as well as studies of theories, methodologies, and software tools used in such transition analyses.

- Socio economics and Feasibility studies including theories and methodologies of institutional economics as well as specific feasibility studies and analyses of the transition to sustainable energy systems.

- Public Regulation including theories and methodologies as well as specific analyses and proposals in the light of the implementation and transition into sustainable energy systems.

Note - review articles are only accepted after prior consultation with the editor-in-chief.

IJSEPM is approved by the Finish bibliometric Publication Forum, the Norwegian bibliometric Kanalregister as well as the former Danish BFI. 

The journal is registered/indexed in/by Scopus (Press link to see all published articles in IJSEPM),  Ulrichs Web, Directory of Open-Access Journals, Sherpa/Romeo and DataCite
