Energy & Environmental Science’s Impact Factor rises to 33.250

21 Jun 2019

By Dr Charlotte Marshall.

Energy & Environmental Science (EES) is delighted to announce its latest Impact Factor has increased to 33.250*.

EES is a leading international journal for the publication of extraordinarily high quality, agenda-setting research relating to energy conversion and storage, alternative fuel technologies and environmental science. With a 5-year impact factor of 32.826 and an Immediacy Index of 5.537, research published in EES has lasting impact and is highly visible within the community as soon as it is published.

Our broad scope and the interdisciplinary nature of research published in the journal, coupled with our rigorous peer review, ensures your work will quickly attract the attention it deserves.

We would like to thank all our authors, readers, reviewers and Editorial & Advisory Board members for their continued support in making the journal a success.

Find the all the RSC’s journals newly published 2018 Impact Factors* here.

*The Impact Factor provides an indication of the average number of citations per paper. Produced annually, Impact Factors are calculated by dividing the number of citations in a year, by the number of citeable articles published in the preceding two years. Data provided by 2018 Journal Citation Reports® (Clarivate Analytics, 2019) (Thomson Reuters)

Introducing Energy & Environmental Science’s new Editorial Board Member Jens Norskov

10 Apr 2019

By Daphne Houston.

We are delighted to introduce Professor Jens Nørskov as Energy & Environmental Science’s new Editorial Board Member.

Jens Nørskov is a Villum Kann Rasmussen Professor at Technical University of Denmark. He earned his PhD in theoretical physics from Aarhus University in Denmark in 1979, and is well known for his work on the theoretical description of surfaces, catalysis, materials and nanostructures.

Nørskov’s research aims at developing theoretical methods and concepts to understand and predict properties of materials. The aim is to understand which surface properties determine their chemical activity and to use that insight, in combination with large-scale computations, to design new catalytic surfaces and nano-structures. Applications are primarily in energy transformations, including (photo-) electrochemical water splitting, CO2 reduction, nitrogen reduction and syngas reactions.
