Authors Guidelines
Information for Authors
Introduction
Progress in Energy and Environment aims for high-quality papers that address contemporary issues related to energy and environmental problems. The journal practises a double-blinded review policy. The authors must fulfil the following points before submitting a paper.
- Submitted manuscripts must be original work that does not commit plagiarism. Articles from abstract-only proceedings can be considered, provided that the content is extended appropriately.
- Submitted manuscripts must not be under consideration for possible publication elsewhere.
- Submitted manuscripts should not have any illegal, defamatory or discriminatory content.
Article Types
The journal accepts research articles, review articles, case studies, and short communications.
Research articles present the original experimental or computational research work, in which the results contribute to the body of knowledge in a specific field.
A review article shall at least render a comprehensive overview in a specific research field within the journal's scope. A critical review that reveals the core issues and puts forward constructive recommendations is welcome. The journal will also consider mini-reviews.
A case study presents a systematic investigation into the scientific problems or development of a particular person, institution, or small region within a fixed time frame.
A short communication is a short paper that proposes or demonstrates an original yet significant research idea prior to deeper and more thorough investigations.

Manuscript Preparation
Your manuscript should contain a title, an abstract, a graphical abstract (recommended), keywords, an introduction, a methodology, results and discussion, an acknowledgement, and references. Ensure you have included all authors' names, emails, affiliations, and possibly the ORCID ID of all authors (strongly encouraged). There is no specific format you must follow during the submission stage. However, we suggest authors prepare the manuscript single-spaced with 1.5 or 2.0 line spacing. Only a Word file is accepted for submission.
Language. You can use American or British English, but please ensure it is consistent.
Referencing Style. Authors are free to use any referencing style during submission. However, authors are advised to apply our journal's referencing style. If you do not apply the referencing style during submission, you will be requested to reformat it when your manuscript is accepted for publication. Authors must disclose all the necessary references' info, including the doi whenever available.
Figures and Tables. Authors may include all figures and tables in the main manuscript. However, we encourage the submission of figures and tables as separate files. Ensure the figures have sufficient resolution, while the tables must be editable.
Mathematics and Equations. Please use SI units to present your data. If your manuscript contains equations, the equations must be editable. All the symbols in the equation must be explained.
Additional Information. You must prepare a cover letter, including a declaration of interest and two suggested manuscript reviewers. Alternatively, when filling in "Comments to Editors", you may do so. Authors can indicate to their handling editor of their manuscript, who knows their research field better.

Graphical Abstract. You have to prepare a graphical abstract during submission. The graphical abstract shall interestingly and concisely deliver the highlights of your manuscript.
Upon Acceptance, we will practise a double-blinded peer-review process. If your article is accepted with revision, you must revise and resubmit it with a response list within the time frame given by the handling editor. When submitting the revised article, you must use the format the journal prescribes. It is the responsibility of authors to have a final proofread before publication.
Publication Charge. Karya Ilham Publishing charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) once an article is accepted for publication to cover the cost of providing open access. There are no charges for rejected articles, submission charges, or surcharges based on the length of an article, tables, figures, or supplementary data. The APC charged for accepted articles is RM250.

Referencing Style
The referencing style for ProgEE will follow the ascending numbering system. The possible referencing source may comprise a journal [1], book [2], book section [3], conference proceeding [4], dissertation [5] and government publication or other reports [6]. If there are two references to be cited, use comma to separate the numbers without spacing between them [5,6].
If there are more than two references to be cited, use a dash between the numbers [4,7–9]The reference illustrates the referencing style for various types of sources. Authors must adhere to the referencing style as prescribed.
