TYPE OF PAPER

Journal of Renewable Energies considers only Full-Length Articles (4000-7000 words). The research papers must be original and high-quality. Authors should ensure that the work described in their articles has not been published previously or simultaneously submitted (or published) in another journal.

Manuscripts should be written in English, with a maximum of 20 pages. To avoid unnecessary errors, authors are advised to use the free Grammar Check tool.

A state-of-the-art should be presented in the introduction, with references cited in author-year format (see section References). The purpose of the study and the added value of the submitted paper should be clearly described.

Usually, the applied methodology, data, and tools are presented in section 2. If numerical investigations are performed, the applied approach should be validated.

The section Results should include representative results that are essential for discussion. Data should not be duplicated among figures, tables, and text. The text should be used to summarize what the reader will find in the tables, and figures, or mention the most important data points. The description of results should be followed by their interpretation and discussion. Results should also be compared with those from other studies.
