Scope

• The journal is an interdisciplinary title that covers the deep, broad and meaningful convergence between energy, water and agriculture该刊为跨学科期刊，覆盖能源、水与农业之间深层次、广泛的实质交汇。
• Its topics include grid systems dynamics, power-plant cooling, hydrology, increased production planning, aquaculture, biomass fuels, hydropower, renewable energy, and energy system dynamics modelling and informatics其选题包括电网系统动力学、电厂冷却、水文学、增产规划、水产养殖、生物质燃料、水电、可再生能源，以及能源系统动力学建模与信息学。
• The journal was created in response to growing competition, collaboration and demand for finite natural resources, and it focuses on the interrelationships between water, food and power该刊因有限自然资源的竞争与协作需求不断增强而创办，聚焦水、食物与「动力」之间的相互关系。
• In that framing power signifies a strong link with the energy sector, and the journal seeks to develop methodologies of analysis and tools that describe resource availability, use and recyclability在这一表述中，「动力」指与能源部门的强关联；该刊致力于发展可描述资源可得性、使用与可回收性的分析方法与工具。
• The journal is fully open access, so all articles are freely available to readers, and authors pay an article publishing charge on acceptance该刊为完全开放获取期刊，所有文章对读者免费开放，作者在录用后支付文章处理费。
• Its subject areas are energy and fuels, environmental sciences and the miscellaneous categories covering the resource nexus, reflecting the interdisciplinary remit of the title其学科领域为能源与燃料、环境科学，以及覆盖资源关联的综合性类别，体现该刊的跨学科定位。

History

• The journal began publication in 2021 as a new open access title of the publisher, and its first volume appeared in that year该刊于 2021 年创办，作为出版方新增的开放获取期刊，其第 1 卷即在该年出版。
• It was presented at the outset as Energy Nexus: Water, Food, and Power, a journal designed to analyse the availability, use and recyclability of resources across the three sectors该刊最初以（Energy Nexus: Water, Food, and Power）之名推介，定位为分析能源、水与食物三个领域资源可得性、使用与可回收性的期刊。
• The journal follows a continuous volume scheme rather than an annual volume, and volume 18 appeared in June 2025, which illustrates the pace of its output该刊采用连续卷制而非单一年度卷，第 18 卷于 2025 年 6 月面世，可见其发文节奏。
• The journal is included in the Journal Citation Reports through the Emerging Sources Citation Index, and its impact factor was 9.5 in 2024 and 8.2 in 2025该刊经（Emerging Sources Citation Index）纳入期刊引证报告，其影响因子 2024 年为 9.5、2025 年为 8.2。

Editors

• The editor-in-chief is Pietro Bartocci, whose base is the Swedish research institute RISE and whose work concerns energy systems and life cycle assessment主编为 Pietro Bartocci，其任职于瑞典研究机构（RISE），研究方向为能源系统与生命周期评价。
• The journal is guided by an interdisciplinary editorial board whose members work on energy systems, water resources and agricultural production, matching the three sectors the title addresses该刊由跨学科编委会指导，成员分别从事能源系统、水资源与农业生产研究，与期刊所关注的三个领域对应。
• Manuscripts are assessed for their interdisciplinary contribution, and submissions that address only one sector without a nexus dimension fall outside the journal's editorial aims稿件须具备跨学科贡献；仅涉及单一领域、不具关联维度的投稿不符合该刊编辑定位。
• The journal operates under the publisher's open access policy, in which the editorial board decides on acceptance and the article publishing charge is levied after acceptance该刊执行出版方的开放获取政策：由编委会决定是否录用，文章处理费在录用后收取。
• As editor-in-chief, Bartocci also represents the journal in the life cycle assessment and energy research community, where he has described the journal's scope and editorial direction作为主编，Bartocci 亦在生命周期评价与能源研究界代表该刊，并在相关场合介绍其范围与编辑方向。
• The journal's editorial contact, aims and submission route are published on the publisher's journal page, which is updated as the board changes该刊的编辑联系信息、宗旨与投稿入口在出版方期刊页公布，并随编委变动更新。
