Energy Reports is a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal covering all aspects of energy research. The journal was established in 2015 and is published by Elsevier. The editor-in-chief is Annamaria Buonomano (Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II).[1] Authors pay article processing charges, but do not retain unrestricted copyrights and publishing rights.[2]

Abstracting and indexing

[edit]

The journal is abstracted and indexed in Ei Compendex,[3] Scopus,[4] and the Science Citation Index Expanded.[5] According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2021 impact factor of 4.937.[6]

Fictitious author identities and affiliations

[edit]

In 2024, Energy Reports retracted two articles by Nicholas Zafetti[7][8] for authorship manipulation and the fact that Zafetti's claimed affiliation, Clemson University, stated that "The records of the university do not support a relationship between Clemson University and Nicholas Zafetti as a student, faculty, or visiting scholar." In fact, Zafetti's identity is likely fictitious.[9]

At nearly the same time, an article by Dragan Rodriguez, allegedly of Case Western Reserve University, was retracted for similar reasons.[10][11] Two other articles by Rodriguez remain without amendment as of February 2025.[12][13]

Another article was retracted partly because one of the authors stated an affiliation to a fictitious company.[14]
