Submission
All manuscripts are submitted and reviewed via the journal’s ScholarOne page. New authors should create an account prior to submitting a manuscript for consideration. Questions about submitting to the journal should be sent to the Executive Editor-in-Chief, Constance Senior (constancelynn.senior@chnenergy.com.cn).
Peer Review
All submissions to the journal are first reviewed by an editor. At this stage manuscripts may be rejected without peer review if it is felt that they are not of high enough quality or not relevant to the journal. This fast rejection process means that authors are given a quick decision and do not need to wait for the review process. Manuscripts that are not instantly rejected are sent out for peer review, to at least two independent reviewers. Based on the feedback from these reviewers and the Editors’ judgment a decision is given on the manuscript. The average time from submission to first decision is 6 weeks.
If a paper is not acceptable in its original form, we will pass on suggestions for revisions to the author.
In the case of manuscripts in which one of the authors is a member of the editorial staff of the journal, that editor will be blinded from reviewing or making decisions on the manuscript, and this will be acknowledged in the conflict of interest statement of the published paper.
Language Editing Pre-Submission
Language editing, particularly if English is not your first language, can be used to ensure that the academic content of your paper is fully understood by the journal editors and reviewers. Please note that edited manuscripts will still need to undergo peer-review by the journal.
Ethics
Authors should observe high standards with respect to publication ethics as set out by the Commission on Publication Ethics (COPE). Falsification or fabrication of data, plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the authors’ own work without proper citation, and misappropriation of the work are all unacceptable practices. Any cases of ethical misconduct are treated very seriously and will be dealt with in accordance with the COPE guidelines.
Third-party copyright
In order to reproduce any third-party material, including tables, figures, or images, in an article authors must obtain permission from the copyright holder and be compliant with any requirements the copyright holder may have pertaining to this reuse. When seeking to reproduce any kind of third- party material authors should request the following: non-exclusive rights to reproduce the material in the specified article and journal;
print and electronic rights, preferably for use in any form or medium;
the right to use the material for the life of the work; and
world-wide English-language rights.
It is particularly important to clear permission for use in both the print and online versions of the journal, and we are not able to accept permissions which carry a time limit because we retain journal articles as part of our online journal archive.
Further guidelines on clearing permissions can be found here.
Conflict of interest
Oxford University Press requires declaration of any conflict of interest upon submission online. If the manuscript is published, conflict of interest information will be communicated in a statement in the published paper.
Open Access
Clean Energy is a fully open access journal, and all articles are published in the journal under an open access licence immediately upon publication. Clean Energy does not currently charge for open access.
CC BY, CC BY-NC licence - £0 / $0 / €0
If the corresponding author is based in one of the countries included in our Developing Countries Initiative, your article will be eligible for a full waiver of the open access charge.
OUP has a growing number of Read and Publish agreements with institutions and consortia which provide funding for open access publishing. This means authors from participating institutions can publish open access, and the institution may pay the charge. Find out if your institution is participating
Data Policy
The journal encourages all authors, where ethically possible, to publicly release all data underlying any published paper.
Crosscheck
The Clean Energy editorial team reserves the right to use CrossCheck. CrossCheck is an initiative started by CrossRef to help its members actively engage in efforts to prevent scholarly and professional plagiarism. By submitting your manuscript to the journal, it is understood that this it is an original manuscript and is unpublished work and is not under consideration elsewhere. Plagiarism, including duplicate publication of the author’s own work, in whole or in part without proper citation is not tolerated by the journal.
