This means that any scientific opinion\u2014controversial as it may be\u2014on any topic falling within our journal\u2019s scope is peer-reviewed with the utmost attention to its interest for the energy-conversion-systems community, to its scientific merit, to the methods of the research and to the appropriateness of the citations, conclusions, ethics, and academic style.
