IOP Publishing extends remit of Progress in Energy

IOP Publishing (IOPP) has announced it is extending the remit of its journal Progress in Energy by accepting high-impact original research articles alongside its well-recognised review programme. IOPP says Progress in Energy is part of a developing new Progress In series, that builds on the reputation of IOPP’s journal Reports on Progress in Physics and is designed to unite communities looking to advance and explore progressive research across the physical sciences.

Progress in Energy is a selective, multidisciplinary journal with a mission to publish new research and invited reviews of the highest quality and significance to the global energy transition to renewables. IOPP says the journal will facilitate timely and impactful discussions between scientists, policy makers and practitioners on current issues and developments within the field of energy research.

Progress in Energy is led by IOP Publishing’s Chief Editor, Dr. David Gevaux, and Editor in Chief, Professor Nigel Brandon, Dean of Engineering at Imperial College London. They will be working together to shape the journal’s future direction, added the publisher. An in-house team of scientific editors will manage the peer review process to ensure outstanding author service and that the journal’s high-quality standards are upheld.

Nigel Brandon, editor-in-chief of Progress in Energy, comments: “The expansion of the journal Progress in Energy presents a compelling open access publishing option for the energy community. By introducing primary energy research to the journal, we are continuing to support the transition to a low carbon energy system, addressing climate change and delivering sustainable energy solutions for future generations.”

David Gevaux, chief editor of IOPP’s Progress In series says: “Our Progress In series stands for rigorous peer review and responsive author-centric service. We will curate high-quality, impactful content, and are committed to amplifying and promoting the work of our authors to specialists in the field as well as the wider energy research community, including funders, policy makers and a future generation of scientists.”

IOPP says authors publishing in Progress in Energy have the option to make their work openly available with article publication charges automatically waived for researchers from low-income countries and discounts for authors from lower middle-income countries.
