PRESS RELEASE

 
Maney Publishing and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining launch the new 

Energy Materials journal

Leeds, UK, 20th January 2006

Maney Publishing and the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining are pleased to announce the launch of a new journal entitled Energy Materials: Materials Science & Engineering for Energy Systems. 
 
The scope of Energy Materials is inclusive. The journal will cover thermal and gas turbines; renewable power (wind, wave, tidal, hydro, solar and geothermal); fuel cells (low and high temperature); materials issues relevant to biomass and biotechnology; nuclear power generation (fission and fusion); and the transmission and storage of the energy produced. 
As well as publishing high quality peer reviewed research, Energy Materials will promote discussion of issues common to all sectors, through commissioned reviews and commentaries. There will be coverage of energy economics and policy, and broader social issues, since the political and legislative context influence research and investment decisions. 
With the important exceptions of hydrogen generation and storage, which will form an integral part of any future hydrogen economy, and materials aspects of biomass/biotechnology, it is not the intention of the journal to consider the extraction, refining/processing, and transport of fuels prior to their use for energy generation. 
 
The comprehensive coverage of Energy Materials will embrace all materials issues relating to future energy needs. 
 

Energy Materials uses an Online Manuscript Submission, Tracking and Peer Review System enabling contributors to upload papers direct to the journal by registering at the system homepage: http://ema.edmgr.com.

The new system is designed to speed processing of submissions by facilitating electronic refereeing and by streamlining communication with the author and coordination throughout the publication process. Authors can check the progress of submissions online.

Full guidance on the submission procedure, including tutorials and instructions to authors, is available via links from http://ema.edmgr.com. A range of file formats is supported, but authors are advised to check the specific requirements before submitting, particularly regarding artwork presentation and quality. Please view the Journal's Notes for Contributors at www.maney.co.uk/journals/notes/ema for further information.
