Article structure
Essential title page information : Energy Topic
Title. Concise and informative: Avoid abbreviations and formulae where
possible.
Author names and affiliations: Present the authors' affiliation addresses
(where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations
with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and
in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each
affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of
each author.
Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who is willing to handle
correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-
publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area
code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal
address.

Abstract s
The abstract (about 200 words) should be informative, concisely stating the
subject, and giving a clear indication of the nature and range of the results
contained in the paper.
Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide a maximum of 6 keywords. These
keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
Subdivision - numbered sections
Divide your article into clearly defined and numbered sections. Subsections
should be numbered 1.1 (then 1.1.1, 1.1.2, ...), 1.2, etc. (the abstract is not
included in section numbering). Use this numbering also for internal cross-
referencing: do not just refer to 'the text'. Any subsection may be given a
brief heading. Each heading should appear on its own separate line.
Introduction
The introduction should define clearly the nature of the problem being
considered. Reference should be made to previously published pertinent
papers, accenting the major original contributions.
Material and methods
Provide sufficient detail to allow the work to be reproduced. Methods already
published should be indicated by a reference: only relevant modifications
should be described.
Theory/calculation
A Theory section should extend, not repeat, the background to the article
already dealt with in the Introduction and lay the foundation for further work.
In contrast, a Calculation section represents a practical development from a
theoretical basis.
Results
Results should be clear and concise.
Discussion
This should explore the significance of the results of the work, not repeat
them. A combined Results and Discussion section is often appropriate. Avoid
extensive citations and discussion of published literature.
Conclusions
The main conclusions of the study should be presented in a short
Conclusions section.
Appendices
If there is more than one appendix, they should be identified as A, B, etc.
Formulae and equations in appendices should be given separate numbering:
Eq. (A.1), Eq. (A.2), etc.; in a subsequent appendix, Eq. (B.1) and so on.
Similarly for tables and figures: Table A.1; Fig. A.1, etc.
Highlights
They consist of a short collection of bullet points that convey the core
findings of the. Please use 3 to 5 bullet points.
Abbreviations
Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be
placed on the first page of the article. Such abbreviations that are
unavoidable in the abstract must be defined at their first mention there, as
well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the
article.
Nomenclature and units
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international
system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent
in SI. You are urged to consult IUPAC: Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry:
[Link] for further information.
Acknowledgements
Collate acknowledgements in a separate section at the end of the article
before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page,
as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who
provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing
assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
Artwork
Electronic artwork
General points
Make sure you use uniform lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
Preferred fonts: Times New Roman , Symbol.
Number the illustrations according to their sequence in the text.
Use a logical naming convention for your artwork files.
Figure captions
Ensure that each illustration has a caption. A caption should comprise a brief
title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the illustration. Keep text in
the illustrations themselves to a minimum but explain all symbols and
abbreviations used
Tables
Please submit tables as editable text and not as images. Tables can be
placed either next to the relevant text in the article, or on separate page(s)
at the end. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their
appearance in the text and place any table notes below the table body. Be
sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in them do
not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article. Please avoid using
vertical rules.
References
Citation in text
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the
reference list (and vice versa).
Web references
As a minimum, the full URL should be given and the date when the reference
was last accessed. Any further information, if known (DOI, author names,
dates, reference to a source publication, etc.), should also be given. Web
references can be listed separately (e.g., after the reference list) under a
different heading if desired, or can be included in the reference list.
Reference formatting
There are no strict requirements on reference formatting at submission.
References can be in any style or format as long as the style is consistent.
Where applicable, author(s) name(s), journal title/book title, chapter
title/article title, year of publication, volume number/book chapter and the
pagination must be present. Use of DOI is highly encouraged.
Reference style
Text: Indicate references by number(s) in square brackets in line with the
text. The actual authors can be referred to, but the reference number(s)
must always be given.
List: Number the references (numbers in square brackets) in the list in the
order in which they appear in the text.
