To submit to Biosensors & Bioelectronics: X visit https://www.editoria... are defined as analytical devices incorporating a biological material, a biologically derived material or a biomimic intimately associated with or integrated within a physicochemical transducer or transducing microsystem, which may be optical, electrochemical, thermometric, piezoelectric, magnetic or micromechanical (Turner et al., 1987; Turner, 1989). Biosensors & Bioelectronics is the principal international journal devoted to research, design, development and application of biosensors and bioelectronics. It is an interdisciplinary journal serving professionals with an interest in the exploitation of biological materials and designs in novel diagnostic and electronic devices including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, lab-on-a-chip and μ-TAS. Biosensors usually yield a digital electronic signal which is proportional to the concentration of a specific analyte or group of analytes. While the signal may in principle be continuous, devices can be configured to yield single measurements to meet specific market requirements. Examples of Biosensors include immunosensors, enzyme-based biosensors, organism- and whole cell-based biosensors. They have been applied to a wide variety of analytical problems including uses in medicine, biomedical research, drug discovery, the environment, food, process industries, security and defence. The design and study of molecular and supramolecular structures with molecular biorecognition and biomimetic properties for use in analytical devices is also included within the scope of the journal. Here the focus is on the complementary intersection between molecular recognition, nanotechnology, molecular imprinting and supramolecular chemistry to improve the analytical performance and robustness of devices.The emerging field of Bioelectronics seeks to exploit biology in conjunction with electronics in a wider context encompassing, for example, biological fuel cells, bionics and biomaterials for information processing, information storage, electronic components and actuators. A key aspect is the interface between biological materials and micro- and nano-electronics.Whi... endeavouring to maintain coherence in the scope of the journal, the editors will accept reviews and papers of obvious relevance to the community, which describe important new concepts, underpin understanding of the field or provide important insights into the practical application, manufacture and commercialisation of biosensors and bioelectronics.- ISSN: 0956-5663

Renewable Energy Focus
Renewable Energy is no longer a niche sector of novel technologies, and we have now implemented renewable energy to a scale where it is expected to triple capacity globally power by 2030 and increase more than 10x by 2050. This integration has had a significant impact on conventional energy infrastructure, creating a new grand challenge that the energy sector needs to address:How should energy infrastructure and markets evolve as the grid becomes moredecarbonizedandd... as greater digitization comes to the fore.And with this challenge in mind, what pathways (and their associated requirements) will enable renewable energy technologies to co-exist with other assets in a rapidly decarbonizing energy system?Renewable Energy Focus Journal aims to be a focal point for exploring where these complex forces of decarbonization, decentralization and digitization intersect with the scale up of renewable energy integrated systems, the integration of power and heat for integrated energy solutions across electricity, water, and Power to X. Integration with non-renewable energy sources often make sense for achieving decarbonization or regional and national scale energy transition goals. Papers that include such integration are acceptable for submitting to REF. The journal seeks cutting-edge, high-impact scientific insights across technologies, policy, finance, society and market developments.We serve multiple stakeholders, including:Academics and researchersEngineers... and the Finance communityThose with a keen interest in the scale up of renewable energy, such as NGOs, Associations, Governments and Societies.Renewable Energy Focus seeks to deliver high-value insights across the energy value chain through integrative, comprehensive, and leading-edge research - covering high impact innovations in renewable energy systems integration, modelling and analysis, policy, and business innovations. We accept Original Research and Review Papers that contribute substantial new science and insights on integrated renewable based power systems, and integrated systems solutions across electricity, heat, chemicals, fuels, and integrated systems.All research is subject to rigorous full peer review.We also encourage authors wherever possible to publish their data with us, either through supplementary material; on Elsevier's Mendeley platform; or by publishing a data article in Elsevier's Data in Brief Journal (which can then be linked to your article on Renewable Energy Focus). More details can be found in our Guide for Authors.To help you decide if your paper is in scope, here is a (non-exhaustive) list of subjects that we cover. Please remember that regardless of the overarching theme of your research, papers should focus in some way on aspects of renewable energy or its integration. Some examples include:Decentraliza... and its impact on decarbonizing the grid: This could relate to the integration of different technologies, advanced sensing and controls for highly distributed, decentralized integrated energy systems, storage technologies, and the ability to deploy energy effectively within different frameworks.How should the grid evolve to manage a complex interaction of different energy technologies reliably and economically, both in the developed and developing world?The role of Digitization and advanced IT technology to manage, decarbonize, co-ordinate and optimize the grid (and assets associated with it).How will market forces need to adapt to facilitate an energy transition (for example regarding Social and consumer attitudes and behavior, supply and demand, and the economics of integrating different technology profiles).How do the Power markets need to evolve to encourage continued investment in a broad and diverse range of technology profiles and energy systems - many of which have conflicting grid requirements, performance and outputs.What do we need to do to make the electrification of transport possible?- ISSN: 1755-0084
Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry
JEAC (Journal of Electroanalytical Chemistry) is the foremost international journal devoted to the interdisciplinary subject of electrochemistry in all its aspects, theoretical as well as applied.Papers presenting new and interesting electrochemical science that is accessible to the reader are particularly welcomed. Authors should pay particular attention to the key issues of novelty, topicality and quality. The presentation and discussion should be at a level that is consistent with the international status of JEAC.JEAC does not accept reports describing the application of well-established techniques to problems that are essentially technical. Similarly, papers that report observations but fail to provide adequate interpretation will be rejected. Papers dealing with technical electrochemistry should be submitted to other specialist journals unless the authors can show that their work provides substantially insights into electrochemical processes.- ISSN: 1572-6657
Decision Support Systems
and Electronic CommerceThe common thread of articles published in Decision Support Systems is their relevance to theoretical and technical issues in the support of enhanced decision making. The areas addressed may include foundations, functionality, interfaces, implementation, impacts, and evaluation of decision support systems (DSSs). Manuscripts may draw from diverse methods and methodologies, including those from decision theory, economics, econometrics, statistics, computer supported cooperative work, data base management, linguistics, management science, mathematical modeling, operations management, cognitive science, psychology, user interface management, and others. However, a manuscript focused on direct contributions to any of these related areas should be submitted to an outlet appropriate to the specific area.Examples of research topics that would be appropriate for Decision Support Systems include the following:1. DSS Foundations e.g. principles, concepts, and theories of enhanced decision making; formal languages and research methods enabling improvements in decision making. It is important that theory validation be carefully addressed.2. DSS Functionality e.g. methods, tools, and techniques for developing thefunctional aspects of enhanced decision making; solver, model, and/or data management in DSSs; rule formulation and management in DSSs; DSS development and use in computer supported cooperative work, negotiation, research and product.3. DSS Interfaces e.g. methods, tools, and techniques for designing and developing DSS interfaces; development, management, and presentation of knowledge in a DSS; coordination of a DSS's interface with its functionality.4. DSS Implementation - experiences in DSS development and utilization; DSS management and updating; DSS instruction/training... A critical consideration must be how specific experiences provide more general implications.5. DSS Evaluation and Impact e.g. evaluation metrics and processes; DSS impact on decision makers, organizational processes and performance.- ISSN: 0167-9236

Atmospheric Environment
Atmospheric composition and its impactsAtmospheric Environment has an open access journal, Atmospheric Environment: X, which covers emissions science and reductions strategies: If you have a paper related to those themes, please submit your paper here. Alternatively, if your paper is related to the scope of Atmospheric Environment (see below) please submit your paper using the link on the left of this page - "submit your paper".Atmospheric Environment is the international journal for scientists in different disciplines related to atmospheric composition and its impacts. The journal publishes scientific articles with atmospheric relevance of emissions and depositions of gaseous and particulate compounds, chemical processes and physical effects in the atmosphere, as well as impacts of the changing atmospheric composition on human health, air quality, climate change, and ecosystems.The overarching aim of Atmospheric Environment is to publish original research, reviews, and perspectives that advance the international scientific community's understanding of the composition of the atmosphere. Atmospheric Environment has adopted a broad perspective of the atmosphere to include the background locations in the troposphere and stratosphere, continental and urban locations, as well as indoor environments and microenvironments that expose humans to atmospheric components.The scope of the journal includes natural and anthropogenic sources, transformations, and transport of atmospheric components, as well as the impacts of atmospheric components on global and regional climate, sensitive ecosystems, visibility, and human health. Atmospheric Environment specifically focuses on policy-relevant science that will influence regulations, management and protection of atmospheric resources, protection of ecosystems and human health, and will drive future scientific research efforts that investigate the atmosphere. Additional information about the evolving and expanding scope of Atmospheric Environment is presented below.The editors of Atmospheric Environment will manage the journal to best advance its goals, whilst serving the atmospheric science community through delivery of the most recent high-quality research.Atmospheric Environment encourages submissions describing novel experimental and modeling studies that advance understanding of the composition of the atmosphere and that elucidate sources, transport and transformations, and impacts from atmospheric components.To be considered for publication in Atmospheric Environment, manuscripts should clearly show that the research directly advances the understanding of the composition of the atmosphere.The following manuscripts will NOT be considered for publication:studies of new experimental methods that are neither applied or do not advance the understanding of the composition of the atmosphere,studies that examine emissions from novel atmospheric sources but do not demonstrate how these emissions impact the composition of the atmosphere,studies that examine atmospheric transport but do not directly show how the investigated transport process impact the composition of the atmosphere,computati... studies that do not demonstrate the atmospheric relevancy of the computed chemical pathways or intermediate products, andstudies that focus on well-established or routine monitoring and modeling methods to investigate air pollution issues of local interest.As research tools continue to advance and broaden the understanding of the impacts of atmospheric components, Atmospheric Environment is currently encouraging additional manuscript submissions in these developing areas:indoor air quality,satellites and remote sensing,human health,the use of real-time or semi-continuous experimental observations of the composition of the atmosphere, andthe use of data science to understand sources, transformation, transport, and the impacts of atmospheric components. Please note that studies that utilize novel data science tools that focus on forecasting and do not provide insight into atmospheric sources, processes, and impacts are not suitable for publication in Atmospheric Environment.Atmosphe... Environment is open to policy, economic, and environmental justice studies that focus on changes in the composition of the atmosphere but will only consider manuscripts that are appropriately targeted for the readership of Atmospheric Environment.This journal welcomes contributions that support and advance the UN's sustainable development goals, in particular SDG 7 (Affordable and clean energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action)- ISSN: 1352-2310
