Global Change Biology Bioenergy

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 是一本国际期刊，发表原创研究论文、评论文章和评论，促进对生物和环境科学之间接口的理解，以及直接从植物、藻类和废物中生产燃料。该期刊的范围扩展到生物学以外的领域，包括政策论坛、社会经济分析、技术经济分析和系统分析。论文不需要全球变化部分即可考虑发表，这被视为隐含的，即大多数生物能源将有利于避免至少一部分原本会使用的化石燃料能源。

该期刊涵盖的关键领域：

生物能源原料和生物油生产：能源作物和藻类及其管理、基因组学、遗传改良、种植、收获、储存、运输、综合物流、生产建模、成分及其修改、原料的害虫、疾病和杂草。还鼓励基于生物模拟的替代能源手稿（例如人工光合作用）。

生物残留物/副产品：来自农业生产、林业和种植园（秸秆、糖、生物塑料等）、藻类加工行业和市政来源（MSW）。

生物能源与环境：生态系统服务、碳减排、土地利用变化、生命周期评估、能源和温室气体平衡、用水、水质、可持续性评估和生物多样性问题。

生物能源社会经济学：研究作物、作物系统及其加工的经济可行性或社会可接受性，包括转基因生物 [GMO]、生物能源系统对健康的影响。

生物能源政策：影响生物燃料和生物能源的立法发展。

生物能源系统分析：研究整个系统中的生物发展上下文。

Global Change Biology Bioenergy创刊于2009年，由Wiley-VCH Verlag出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖AGRONOMY - ENERGY & FUELS全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 约1.0个月 ，影响因子指数5.9，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
