Aims and Scope. The International Journal of Green Energy will be focused on the forms and utilizations of energy with no, minimal or reduced negative environmental and societal impact with an emphasis on the energy diversity, energy localization, energy security, and sustainable development. International Journal of Green Energy provides a multidisciplinary and international forum for the rapid dissemination of the latest and high-quality research results in the field of energy research, management and conservation, especially the advanced environmentally friendly energy technologies; provides a medium for the free exchange and discussion of ideas and information; and provides a record of knowledge generated and technology know-how. Therefore, the Journal is devoted to the advancement of the science and technology of energy and energy utilization, to reduction of the growing impact of energy use on the environment, and to closely allied matters through the dissemination of original research papers disclosing new technical knowledge and exploratory developments and applications based on new knowledge. The Journal publishes a wide range of original, peer-reviewed, qualified research papers and critical reviews of recent research that deal with the analytical, numerical, and experimental investigations of all aspects of energy and energy technologies, ranging from fundamentals to practical applications, from energy resources to energy consumption and the consequence of energy use.

Submission of Manuscripts. Authors are strongly encouraged to submit manuscripts via e-mail to x6li@mecheng1.uwaterloo.ca, preferably in MS Word format. If an author prefers to submit in hardcopy, however, two printed copies of the manuscript should be sent to the Editor-in-Chief, Xianguo Li, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Waterloo, 200 University Avenue West, Waterloo, Ontario N2L 3G1, Canada. Tel.: 519-888-4567, ext. 6843; Fax: 519-888-6197. Hardcopies must be accompanied by an electronic file on a disk or CD. The disk or CD should be prepared using MS Word or WordPerfect and should be clearly labeled with the authors' names, file name, and software program. Each manuscript must be accompanied by a statement that it has not been published elsewhere and that it has not been submitted simultaneously for publication elsewhere. Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reproduce copyrighted material from other sources and are required to sign an agreement for the transfer of copyright to the publisher. All accepted manuscripts, artwork, and photographs become the property of the publisher. All parts of the manuscript should be typewritten, double-spaced, with margins of at least one inch on all sides. Number manuscript pages consecutively throughout the paper. Authors should also supply a shortened version of the title suitable for the running head, not exceeding 50 character spaces. Each article should be summarized in an abstract of not more than 100 words. Avoid abbreviations, diagrams, and reference to the text in the abstract. Abstract should include three to five key words that will facilitate indexing and data retrieval purposes.

Illustrations. Illustrations submitted (line drawings, halftones, photos, photomicrographs, etc.) should be clean originals or digital files. Digital files are recommended for highest quality reproduction and should follow these guidelines: 300 dpi or higher; sized to fit on journal page; EPS, TIFF, or PSD format only; and submitted as separate files, not embedded in text files.

Print + Online Reproduction: $900 for the first page of color; $450 per page for the next three pages of color. A custom quote will be provided for articles with more than 4 pages of color.

Tables and Figures. Tables and figures (illustrations) should not be embedded in the text, but should be included as separate sheets or files. A short descriptive title should appear above each table with a clear legend and any footnotes suitably identified below. All units must be included. Figures should be completely labeled, taking into account necessary size reduction. Captions should be typed, double-spaced, on a separate sheet. All original figures should be clearly marked in pencil on the reverse side with the number, author's name, and top edge indicated. 

Proofs. Page proofs are sent to the designated author using Taylor & Francis' CATS system. They must be carefully checked and returned within 48 hours of receipt.  

Reprints. Each corresponding author will receive one copy of the issue in which the article appears. Reprints of individual articles are available for order at the time authors review page proofs. A discount on reprints is available to authors who order before print publication.
