Focus and Scope

Journal of Alternate Energy Sources and Technologies (JoAEST) seeks to promote and disseminate knowledge of the various topics and technologies of renewable energy/green energy/clean energy, and therefore aims at assisting researchers, world agencies and societies to keep abreast of new developments in their specialist field and to unite in finding alternative energy solutions

• to replace fuel sources without the undesired consequences of the replaced fuels
• to current issues such as the global warming, greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone layer.

 Focus and Scope:

• Wind Energy
• Geothermal Energy
• Biogas & Bio-fuels
• Nuclear Binding Energy
• Biomass Conversion
• Greenhouse Effect
• Climatology and Meteorology
• Solar Thermal Applications
• Helioculture
• Energy Management and the ecologically friendly alternatives which are under research and or production

Peer Review Process

This Journal is managed by two executive bodies namely ‘Editorial board’ and the ‘Publication Management Team’. The ‘Editorial board’ of Journal comprises of a team of subject experts, nominated/ appointed by STM JOURNALS. Director STM JOURNALS is empowered to nominate/ appoint the editors. The editorial board of the Journal, over and above the outside experts, may have a couple of subject experts from the STM JOURNALS.

The ‘Publication Management Team' comprises of the Chairman [Director, (STM JOURNALS), India], and his support team- comprising of senior executives from STM JOURNALS and local/ out side subject experts appointed/ nominated by him.'Publication Management Team' may also have a representation of subject experts from the aforesaid 'Editorial board'.

The Chairman of the Publication Management Team of the Journal is empowered to nominate new members or dismiss the existing members of the Editorial Board and the Publication Management Team. The nomination of members is based on the knowledge, experience and their contribution in the said area of Journal and its allied branches. On the contrary, the dismissal is justified (with or without notice) on the grounds of their non- response, non-availability for longer times (without any intimation to the STM JOURNALS), non-contribution and objectionable act/ behaviour or a voluntary submission/ request to quit.

The 'Editorial board' is the competent authority in taking decision (s) on selection or rejection of the manuscripts of all the research/ review/ similar articles submitted to the Journal.The decision taken by Editors/ Reviewers is final in all respects and no further comments/ communications from authors in this regard is expected/ entertained.

In exceptional cases where it is difficult to arrive at a consensus, Publication Management Team's decision is taken as final.

The 'Publication Management Team' of Journal is fully responsible for publishing finally accepted manuscripts and maintaining the Journal publication timelines.

In addition, the 'Publication Management Team' members are also made responsible and empowered to contribute, screen-accept or reject the manuscripts of popular articles/ Short Communications that fall under the scope of the Journal.

The ‘Manuscript Management System' through the stipulated policies/ guidelines, attempts to provide the 'Editorial board' and the 'Publication Management Team' a tool to monitor the status from, submission, selection, pres-screening (initial quick) detailed review (main screening), refereeing to the acceptance/ rejection of a manuscript.

It may be noted that, the aforesaid policy may change with or without notice to the authors/ contributors of this journal. The decision of Journal in respect of management of a manuscript in every step is taken as final.

Journal of Alternate Energy Sources & Technologies

Journal of Alternate Energy Sources and Technologies (JoAEST) Journal of Alternate Energy Sources and Technologies seeks to promote and disseminate knowledge of the various topics and technologies of renewable energy/green energy/clean energy, and therefore aims at assisting researchers, world agencies and societies to keep abreast of new developments in their specialist field and to unite in finding alternative energy solutions

• to replace fuel sources without the undesired consequences of the replaced fuels
• to current issues such as the global warming, greenhouse effect and the depletion of the ozone layer.

The scope of the journal covers the following new concepts for alternative energy:

• Wind Energy Technology Biogas digestion
• Biomass Conversion
• Photovoltaic Technology Conversion
• Solar Thermal Applications
• Solar and Low Energy Architecture
• Climatology and Meteorology (Geothermal, Wave and Tide, Ocean Thermal Energies,     Mini Hydro Power and Hydrogen Production Technology)
• Socio-economic and Energy Management.
• Helioculture
• and also the Ecologically friendly alternatives which are under research and or    production.

All contributions to the journal are rigorously refereed and are selected on the basis of quality and originality of the work. The journal publishes the most significant new research papers or any other original contribution in the form of reviews and reports on new concepts in all areas pertaining to its scope and research being done in the world, thus ensuring its scientific priority and significance.
