The peer review process follows rigorous standards to ensure that only high-quality, methodologically sound research is published. Reviewers assess manuscripts for:
- Scientific Validity: Appropriate methodology, robust data analysis, and logical interpretation of results
- Originality: Novel contributions to theory, practice, or understanding of energy conservation
- Practical Relevance: Applicability to real-world challenges and potential for implementation
- Clarity: Clear presentation of objectives, methods, results, and conclusions
- Ethical Compliance: Adherence to research ethics, data integrity, and citation standards
Authors can submit manuscripts through our streamlined online submission system. All submissions must be prepared according to JEC's formatting guidelines, which provide detailed specifications for manuscript structure, citation style, figure preparation, and supplementary materials.
To ensure efficient processing, authors should carefully review all submission requirements before uploading manuscripts. Key requirements include:
- Original research not under consideration elsewhere
- Structured abstract (200-300 words) with background, methods, results, and conclusions
- Keywords (4-6 terms) for indexing and discoverability
- Complete author information including affiliations and ORCID identifiers
- Conflict of interest and funding disclosure statements
- High-resolution figures and tables with descriptive captions
- Complete reference list formatted according to journal style
As a fully open access journal, JEC does not charge subscription or access fees to readers. Instead, accepted articles are subject to an article processing charge (APC) that covers editorial operations, peer review administration, production services, and online hosting. Our APC structure is designed to be competitive and transparent, with institutional memberships and discounts available for qualifying authors.
All published articles are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY), allowing readers to freely download, share, and build upon published research with appropriate attribution. This licensing model maximizes the societal benefit of research by removing barriers to knowledge access and reuse.
