About JRSE
The American Institute of Physics is pleased to announce its newest journal: the Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy (JRSE). To complement this online-only journal, AIP has developed a website with components that go beyond the standard journal webpage.
Among these new components are the following: (i) a blog—in which insightful commentary on news, policy, and research related not just to the journal, but to renewable and sustainable energy in general, can be found, (ii) a list of top stories—culled from major newspapers, magazines, and websites, these stories cover the most important news happening in the field, and (iii) interviews (audio, video, and text) with researchers, newsmakers, and other persons of interest to the field of basic renewable and sustainable energy research.
Focus and Coverage of the Journal
JRSE, published by the American Institute of Physics, is an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal covering all areas of renewable and sustainable energy-related fields that apply to the physical science and engineering communities. Content is published online daily, collected into bimonthly issues (6 times a year). As an electronic-only, web-based journal with rapid publication time, JRSE is responsive to the many new developments expected in this field. The interdisciplinary approach of the publication ensures that the editors draw from researchers worldwide in a diverse range of fields. Topics covered include:
- Bioenergy – bioreactions and bioengineering
- Geothermal energy – geysers, heat pumps, and novel devices
- Marine and hydroelectric energy – waves, tides, and dams
- Nuclear energy – fission, fusion, and related materials
- Solar energy – photovoltaics and solar thermal converters
- Wind energy – turbines and electrical systems and controls
- Energy conversion – solid oxide and proton exchange membrane fuel cells and novel devices
- Energy efficient buildings – photovoltaics, solar thermal converters, and passive solar approaches
- Energy storage – hydrogen and batteries
- Power distribution – conventional and superconducting transmission, fluctuating loads, and controls
- Renewable energy resource assessment
- Transportation – hydrogen, batteries, fuel cells, bioenergy, and vehicles

ISSN
The online international standard serial number (ISSN) for JRSE is 1941-7012
The CODEN is JRSEBH.
Citation Format
Articles published in JRSE use a citation format based on a six-digit citation identifier (CID). The CID chosen for JRSE is similar to that used by Physical Review. Use of CIDs in place of traditional page numbers allows an issue to build online one article at a time while retaining the ability to segment tables of contents by article type or subject area; this accelerates online publication of articles, which are published online individually as soon as author proof corrections are incorporated.
The structure of the six-digit citation identifier is defined as follows:
| first two digits: | indicate the issue number |
| middle two digits: | indicate the article type and/or subject area |
| last two digits: | assigned according to publication order, within that issue and section |
Definitions of this journal's article type and subject area code numbers (the middle two digits of the CID) for Vol. 1 (2009) appear below:
| 02 | ANNOUNCEMENTS |
| 04 | EDITORIALS |
| 09–10 | SPECIAL TOPIC: ENERGY PATHWAYS TO A LOW CARBON SOCIETY |
| 23 | PERSPECTIVES |
| 27 | REVIEW ARTICLES |
| 31 | REGULAR ARTICLES |
| 91 | LETTERS |
| 95 | COMMENTS |
| 99 | ERRATA |
An example of the correct citation format for an article in Journal of Renewable and Sustainable Energy is:
A. Smith and B. Jones, J. Renewable Sustainable Energy 1, 013108 (2009).
In this fictitious example, the article by Smith and Jones was published in JRSE in Issue 1 of Volume 1, as the eighth article published in section 31, which, for Vol. 1, is “Regular Articles.”
In the full-text PDF file available online, the CID appears on each page. Appended at the end of the CID is a hyphen followed by a consecutive page number. For the sample article above, the full-text PDF pages would carry this page numbering: 013108-1, 013108-2, 013108-3, etc. The hyphen and additional digits should not be used when citing or searching for an article.
