Progress in Energy and Combustion Science

PROGRESS IN ENERGY AND COMBUSTION SCIENCE is a premier international journal published by Elsevier, renowned as one of the most authoritative and high-impact periodicals in the fields of energy, thermodynamics, and combustion engineering. With an ISSN of 0360-1285 and an exceptional 2026 Impact Factor of 41.300, the journal consistently ranks in the top Q1 quartile of its category, reflecting its elite standing and outsized influence on both fundamental science and applied technology. The journal’s scope is broad yet focused, encompassing critical reviews and authoritative analyses of the latest advances in energy conversion, combustion science, fuel technology, and environmental control. It covers a wide array of topics including internal combustion engines, gas turbines, power generation, alternative and renewable fuels, pollutant formation and mitigation, flame dynamics, and energy storage systems. True to its title, PROGRESS IN ENERGY AND COMBUSTION SCIENCE exclusively publishes comprehensive review articles rather than original research papers, offering in-depth syntheses of recent developments and future directions. These reviews are typically lengthy, thoroughly referenced, and written by leading experts, serving as definitive resources for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in academia and industry. The journal does not operate under an open access model by default but offers authors the option to publish open access for a fee. Its extraordinarily high Impact Factor, sustained over many years, places it among the most cited and prestigious journals in the energy and combustion disciplines, making it an indispensable reference for anyone seeking a thorough understanding of the state of the art in these critical scientific and engineering fields.
