Original Articles
Original Articles present original and unpublished research results within the scope of Renewable Energy, Biomass & Sustainability (REB&S). These manuscripts may include experimental, theoretical, analytical, computational, applied, or field-based studies related to renewable energy, biomass, sustainability, environmental technologies, bioenergy, circular economy, and related areas.
Original Articles should clearly state the research objective, provide a sound methodological approach, present and discuss the results in relation to the current state of knowledge, and highlight the contribution of the study to the field. Manuscripts must include sufficient methodological detail to allow the work to be evaluated, reproduced, or applied by other researchers when appropriate.
All Original Articles are subject to editorial evaluation and double-blind peer review.
Review Articles
Review Articles provide a critical, organized, and up-to-date analysis of the scientific literature on a specific topic within the scope of REB&S. These manuscripts should synthesize existing knowledge, identify trends, methodological approaches, research gaps, limitations, and future perspectives in areas related to renewable energy, biomass, sustainability, environmental technologies, bioenergy, circular economy, and related fields.
Review Articles may follow a systematic, narrative, bibliometric, or integrative approach, depending on the objective of the manuscript. Authors should clearly describe the purpose of the review, the criteria or strategy used to select the literature, and the relevance of the topic to the journal’s scope.
