Strategic Planning for Energy and the Environment

The scope of the SPEE journal is broad and multidimensional, including fundamental concepts in energy and environmental theories and practices, experiments, phenomenon analysis, implementation, and policies. Contributions to general theoretical approach to energy and the environment with reference to sustainability and development in the context of local, regional and global setting are also highly encouraged. The SPEE covers all topics at the core and the interfaces of energy and the environment nexus that are of interest to the science and professional communities. The journal focuses on those articles that provide sound knowledge base for basic and applied research associated with the development and evaluation of technological and administrative pathways that minimize environmental impacts of energy life cycles. Some of the trans-disciplinary areas within the scope of journal include, energy and environment nexus including energy and environmental theories and practices, green technologies, environmental friendly energy systems, low carbon energy production and use, sustainable consumption of energy resources, environmental impacts of energy production, climate change-induced energy and environmental uncertainties, interlinkages between energy and environmental resources and sustainability, environmental governance, legislation, and environmental policies for sustainable energy production, renewable and alternative energy resources, energy, environment and socio-cultural nexus, energy conservation, conservation, efficiencies, greenhouse gases, biosphere, biodiversity, bioenergy, biofuels, and biomass, climate change, energy conservation, deforestation, and ecosystem health, emissions, air quality and atmospheric science, environmental impact assessment, recycling and waste management, international treaties and initiatives in relation to energy, environment, and climate, and sustainable development.

SJR

The SJR is a size-independent prestige indicator that ranks journals by their 'average prestige per article'. It is based on the idea that 'all citations are not created equal'. SJR is a measure of scientific influence of journals that accounts for both the number of citations received by a journal and the importance or prestige of the journals where such citations come from It measures the scientific influence of the average article in a journal, it expresses how central to the global scientific discussion an average article of the journal is.

Citations per document

This indicator counts the number of citations received by documents from a journal and divides them by the total number of documents published in that journal. The chart shows the evolution of the average number of times documents published in a journal in the past two, three and four years have been cited in the current year. The two years line is equivalent to journal impact factor ™ (Thomson Reuters) metric.

Cites per Doc

Evolution of the number of total citation per document and external citation per document (i.e. journal self-citations removed) received by a journal's published documents during the three previous years. External citations are calculated by subtracting the number of self-citations from the total number of citations received by the journal’s documents.
