About the Journal

The International Journal of Emergency Energy (IJEE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal devoted to advancing research, innovation, and policy in the field of emergency, backup, and rapid-deployment energy systems. IJEE provides a critical forum for interdisciplinary scholarship addressing how energy systems respond to crises—including natural disasters, armed conflict, humanitarian emergencies, infrastructure failures, and climate-induced events.

Aim & Scope

IJEE aims to foster the development of resilient, decentralized, and rapidly deployable energy solutions that can sustain critical infrastructure, farming, healthcare, communication, and community survival in times of emergency. The journal encourages contributions that blend engineering, technology, public policy, logistics, and environmental science to improve real-world energy resilience, particularly in vulnerable or high-risk contexts.
Research Areas:
IJEE welcomes theoretical, empirical, and applied research in areas including (but not limited to):

• Off-grid and mobile energy systems for disaster zones
• Renewable energy in emergency response (solar, wind, biomass)
• Battery storage and portable power technologies
• Energy logistics and supply chain optimization during crises
• Microgrids and hybrid systems for post-disaster recovery
• Power system hardening and resilience modeling
• Emergency energy access in humanitarian settings
• AI and IoT for predictive energy allocation in crises
• Energy security in conflict zones
• Policy, regulation, and standards for emergency power deployment

Frequency of Publication

IJEE is published triannually (three times per year), with periodic special issues dedicated to major disaster responses, innovations in humanitarian engineering, or collaborations with emergency management organizations.

Article Processing Charge (APC)

To support sustainable open access, IJEE charges an APC of $65 USD per accepted article. Waivers and discounts are available for practitioners, NGOs, and researchers from under-resourced institutions or regions.
