Journal Guide

Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview.• Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation.• Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design.• Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems.• Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids.• The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques.• Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Electronic Commerce Research and Applications aims to create and disseminate enduring knowledge for the fast-changing e-commerce environment. A major dilemma in e-commerce research is how to achieve a balance between the currency and the life span of knowledge.Electronic Commerce Research and Applications will contribute to the establishment of a research community to create the knowledge, technology, theory, and applications for the development of electronic commerce. This is targeted at the intersection of technological potential and business aims.E-commerce is a multi-disciplinary area, which should be developed in co-operation with existing fields such as Information Systems and Technology; Marketing, Finance and Supply Chain Management; Business Strategy and Management; Public Policy; Computer Science and Telecommunications; and Legal Studies. We will solicit papers on current technologies from these areas, as well as publish papers on completely new topics. We also seek proposals for special issues on new topics in e-commerce that will create new directions for research.Electronic Commerce Research and Applications is inviting submission of articles in the following fields:Agent-based commerce; electronic auctions; e-business models; B2C and B2B EC; consumer behaviour; customer relationship management and data mining; pricing and marketing; digital economy; e-government, public policy and digital divide issues; electronic payment systems; IT and e-services; exchanges and electronic marketplaces; e-commerce in supply chain and inventory management; legal issues in e-commerce; industry studies and case analysis; economic and management science modelling; organizational and theory-building research; empirical studies of e-commerce problems; behavioral studies of e-commerce issues; recommender systems; protocols, technology and process standards for e-commerce; transformation of industries; security and trust; credit card and smart card applications; mobile-commerce and ubiquitous computing; inter-organizational systems in e-commerce; emerging technologies and technological innovation.We also encourage Methodological studies: these should be complete and ready for implementation, rather than papers that propose new frameworks.

The journal provides an effective way to publish research and review articles, short communications and technical notes, Video material, animation sequences and 3D are also accepted to support and enhance articles. The articles will be examined by a scientific committee and anonymous evaluators and published every two months in HTML and PDF formats (January 15th , March 15th, May 15th, July 15th, September 15th, November 15th).

Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics is a venue for the rapid electronic publication of the proceedings of conferences, of lecture notes, monographs and other similar material for which quick publication is appropriate. Organizers of conferences whose proceedings appear inElectronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics, and authors of other material appearing as a volume in the series are allowed to make hard copies of the relevant volume for limited distribution. For example, conference proceedings may be distributed to participants at the meeting, and lecture notes can be distributed to those taking a course based on the material in the volume.

Instructions for Preparing Manuscripts

This electronic publication requires that papers are prepared using LaTeX macro files that have been created to ensure a uniform format for the series.Electronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics does NOT publish papers prepared using word processing software. Please clickhttp://www.elsevier.com/inca/publications/misc/endm_package.ziphere to download the generic ENDM style package. This package contains the ENDM macro style files as well as instructions on how to use them and a template for preparing your paper.

Copyright Notice

Please note that the publication of an abstract or extended abstract inElectronic Notes in Discrete Mathematics will NOT restrict the author(s) from publishing a full-length article on the same topic and with the same title in another journal (possibly with another publisher) provided that the original publication is sufficiently enhanced (i.e. approximately doubled in size). However, a simple copyright form must be signed for the (extended) abstract in order for it to be posted on ScienceDirect.
