Notes:

• Impact Factors and metrics are approximate for some journals where exact recent values weren’t available.

• APC (Article Processing Charges) are mostly for open access; many journals are hybrid (both subscription and open access options).

• Review times vary and are mostly not publicly specified except for Energy Reports.

• Scope is a short summary; all journals cover broader areas related to energy, engineering, and sustainability.

• All journals are Elsevier-published, as seen on ScienceDirect.
