Journal Title：Global Change Biology Bioenergy

GCB Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers, review articles and commentaries that promote understanding of the interface between biological and environmental sciences and the production of fuels directly from plants, algae and waste. The scope of the journal extends to areas outside of biology to policy forum, socioeconomic analyses, technoeconomic analyses and systems analysis. Papers do not need a global change component for consideration for publication, it is viewed as implicit that most bioenergy will be beneficial in avoiding at least a part of the fossil fuel energy that would otherwise be used.

Key areas covered by the journal:

Bioenergy feedstock and bio-oil production: energy crops and algae their management,, genomics, genetic improvements, planting, harvesting, storage, transportation, integrated logistics, production modeling, composition and its modification, pests, diseases and weeds of feedstocks. Manuscripts concerning alternative energy based on biological mimicry are also encouraged (e.g. artificial photosynthesis).

Biological Residues/Co-products: from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (stover, sugar, bio-plastics, etc.), algae processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW).

Bioenergy and the Environment: ecosystem services, carbon mitigation, land use change, life cycle assessment, energy and greenhouse gas balances, water use, water quality, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.

Bioenergy Socioeconomics: examining the economic viability or social acceptability of crops, crops systems and their processing, including genetically modified organisms [GMOs], health impacts of bioenergy systems.

Bioenergy Policy: legislative developments affecting biofuels and bioenergy.

Bioenergy Systems Analysis: examining biological developments in a whole systems context.

GCB Bioenergy 是一本國際期刊，發(fā)表原創(chuàng)研究論文、評論文章和評論，促進對生物和環(huán)境科學之間接口的理解，以及直接從植物、藻類和廢物中生產燃料。該期刊的范圍擴展到生物學以外的領域，包括政策論壇、社會經濟分析、技術經濟分析和系統(tǒng)分析。論文不需要全球變化部分即可考慮發(fā)表，這被視為隱含的，即大多數生物能源將有利于避免至少一部分原本會使用的化石燃料能源。

該期刊涵蓋的關鍵領域：

生物能源原料和生物油生產：能源作物和藻類及其管理、基因組學、遺傳改良、種植、收獲、儲存、運輸、綜合物流、生產建模、成分及其修改、原料的害蟲、疾病和雜草。還鼓勵基于生物模擬的替代能源手稿（例如人工光合作用）。

生物殘留物/副產品：來自農業(yè)生產、林業(yè)和種植園（秸稈、糖、生物塑料等）、藻類加工行業(yè)和市政來源（MSW）。

生物能源與環(huán)境：生態(tài)系統(tǒng)服務、碳減排、土地利用變化、生命周期評估、能源和溫室氣體平衡、用水、水質、可持續(xù)性評估和生物多樣性問題。

生物能源社會經濟學：研究作物、作物系統(tǒng)及其加工的經濟可行性或社會可接受性，包括轉基因生物 [GMO]、生物能源系統(tǒng)對健康的影響。

生物能源政策：影響生物燃料和生物能源的立法發(fā)展。

生物能源系統(tǒng)分析：研究整個系統(tǒng)中的生物發(fā)展上下文。

Global Change Biology Bioenergy創(chuàng)刊于2009年，由Wiley-VCH Verlag出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋AGRONOMY - ENERGY & FUELS全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 約1.0個月 ，影響因子指數5.9，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
