The Electricity Journal

The Electricity Journal welcomes submissions from authors who present well-reasoned, topical papers that have not previously appeared in other publications. The goal of the Journal is to provide balanced views on thought provoking issues. We reserve the right to reject any submission that does not contribute to the high standards that the Journal seeks to maintain.

Most articles are 3000 to 5000 words in length. It is important that articles address electricity policy issues that will be of broad appeal, although regional issues of uncommon interest will frequently be considered.

Articles must be documented as appropriate. The Harvard Blue Book shall be the standard for all citations, utilizing endnotes, not references. It is important to provide complete author names (not initials or only last names), complete publication titles and dates, specific publishing locations and page numbers. Web URLs shall be considered as a supplement to, not a replacement for, conventional references. If URLs are submitted, please provide a specific article reference, not just a home-page link. It is also important for the author to advise when the reference material on the web was last visited to insure that it has not been updated prior to publication.

Authors will frequently incorporate graphics within papers to amplify and/or demonstrate relevant information. Any submitted graphics must be camera-ready figures in black and white to permit clarity in the printing process.

All submissions shall be in the Word format. A transfer of copyright shall be required to be executed by authors prior to publication. It is important to include complete biographical and contact information with each submission. This would include, but not be limited to, mailing addresses(no PO Boxes), email addresses, phone and fax numbers, etc.

The Editors will endeavor to quickly review all submissions, and reserve the right to edit papers as deemed appropriate. To the extent possible, authors will be engaged to discuss publication acceptance, rewrites and/or editorial changes.

Submission to this journal proceeds totally online and you will be guided stepwise through the creation and uploading of your files. The system automatically converts source files to a single PDF file of the article, which is used in the peer-review process. Please note that even though manuscript source files are converted to PDF files at submission for the review process, these source files are needed for further processing after acceptance. All correspondence, including notification of the Editor's decision and requests for revision, takes place by e-mail removing the need for a paper trail.
