Energy Storage Technology and application (ESTA) is a journal focussed on all aspects of energy storage and its application. This journal publishes original and novel research papers, short communications, and review articles. The published paper in this journal expressed that the relevant work has not been, and will not be published elsewhere, except in abstract or as part of a lecture.
Energy Storage Technology and application covers the following topics.
Science, technology and applications of electrochemical, chemical, mechanical, electrical energy storage
Engineering, control, optimization, numerical and modelling aspects of energy storage systems
Applications, load profiles and requirements of storage technologies in grid-scale electrical storage, electric vehicle transportation, traction applications, off-grid systems, uninterruptible power supplies, and portable electronic applications
Testing, test procedures, evaluation, lessons learned, life cycle costs, life cycle assessment, and safety of energy storage systems
Economic, policy and regulatory aspects, markets, market models, and market introduction concepts of energy storage systems.
The submitted manuscript should have relevance with energy storage development. Papers with no relation to the topics are not acceptable.

3. PREPARATION AND SUBMISSION
3.1. Use of word-processing software
Make sure the manuscript is written in detail using appropriate English and saved in the original format that used by the author. Writing abstract, table and picture captions, and references use one and a half spaces, font type Arial 11 (except the title uses bold Arial 12) with a maximum of 20 pages for original paper, and left and right margins are 3 cm. The names of the authors are written directly below the title and must include the address, email and postal code. The author's link to the address is typed using Arabic numbers in the superscript and the author's correspondence is marked with a star sign. The main title from the Abstract to the Conclusion is typed in italics and bold where the first letter uses capital and left aligned.

3.2. Article structure
Introduction
Present the objectives of the study and the background of the author's topic selection. In this section, the author can use references from other journals that support the research background. When using references, the writer must include citation.
Materials and Method
State an explanation of the work process including tools, materials and methods used. Explain the novelty from your research. Use references if needed to support your method.
Results and discussion
The results and discussion must be interconnected and clearly presented in this section. In addition, comparing the results of research with previous studies of articles that have been published will greatly help the author in discussing research results. Use ethics in citing an article.
Conclusions
The conclusions in the article can be presented in concise Conclusions section or presented in sub sections such as Discussion or Results and Discussion
Supplementary
If there is more than one supplementary, they should be identified as S1, S2, etc. Formulae, equations, tables and figures should be given separate sub-sections. All supplementary should be combined within a single file.
Important information
- Title. Concise and informative. Titles are often used in information-retrieval systems. Avoid abbreviations and formulae where possible.
- Author names and affiliations. Where the family name may be ambiguous (e.g., a double name), please indicate this clearly. Present the authors' affiliation addresses (where the actual work was done) below the names. Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author's name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
- Corresponding author. Clearly indicate who will handle correspondence at all stages of refereeing and publication, also post-publication. Ensure that telephone and fax numbers (with country and area code) are provided in addition to the e-mail address and the complete postal address.
- Present/permanent address. If an author has moved since the work described in the article was done, or was visiting at the time, a "Present address" (or "Permanent address") may be indicated as a footnote to that author's name. The address at which the author actually did the work must be retained as the main, affiliation address. Superscript Arabic numerals are used for such footnotes.
3.3. Abstract
An abstract of 200 words maximum is required. The abstract should contain brief research aim and purpose, factual main results and conclusions. An abstract is provided separately from the article, so it must be able to stand alone, therefor please avoid references in an abstract. However, if it is essential, they must be fully cited and separated from the list of references section. Keep in mind that non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.
3.4. Keywords
Immediately after the abstract, provide 5 keywords, using American spelling and avoiding general and plural terms and multiple concepts (avoid, for example, "and", "of"). Use abbreviations to a minimum: limited to firmly established abbreviation in the field. These keywords will be used for indexing purposes.
3.5. Abbreviations
Define abbreviations that are not standard in this field in a footnote to be placed on the first page of the article. Such abbreviations that are unavoidable in the abstract must be defined at their first mention there, as well as in the footnote. Ensure consistency of abbreviations throughout the article.
3.6. Acknowledgments
Collate acknowledgments in a separate section at the end of the article before the references and do not, therefore, include them on the title page, as a footnote to the title or otherwise. List here those individuals who provided help during the research (e.g., providing language help, writing assistance or proof reading the article, etc.).
3.7. Nomenclature and Units
Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI). If other quantities are mentioned, give their equivalent in SI. You are urged to consult the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). For further information, please visit http://www.iupac.org.
3.8. Footnotes
Footnotes should be used sparingly. Number them consecutively throughout the article, using superscript Arabic numbers. Many word-processors build footnotes into the text, and this feature may be used. Should this not be the case, indicate the position of footnotes in the text and present the footnotes themselves separately at the end of the article. Do not include footnotes in the Reference list.
3.9. Artwork
General points
- Make sure you use consistent lettering and sizing of your original artwork.
- Avoid manually add text to illustration. Text in illustration should be united with the illustration.
- Use Arial in the illustrations.
- The illustrations should be numbered sequentially.
- Relatable and logical name should be use for illustration.
- Caption figure should be presented separately from the illustration.
- Figure sizes should be appropriate to the desired printed version.
Formats
Regardless of the application used, when your electronic artwork is finalized, please "save as" or convert the images to one of the following formats (note the resolution requirements for line drawings, halftones, and line/halftone combinations given below):
EPS: Vector drawings. Embed the font or save the text as "graphics".
TIFF: color or grayscale photographs (halftones): always use a minimum of 300 dpi.
TIFF: Bitmapped line drawings: use a minimum of 1000 dpi.
TIFF: Combinations bitmapped line/half-tone (color or grayscale): a minimum of 500 dpi is required.
DOC, XLS or PPT: If your electronic artwork is created in any of these Microsoft Office, applications please supply "as is".
Color artwork
Please make sure that artwork files are in an acceptable format (TIFF, EPS or MS Office files) and with the correct resolution.
Figure captions
Make sure every figure has a caption, and provide separately. A caption should comprise a brief title (not on the figure itself) and a description of the Figures. Minimize the text in the figures and avoid confusing symbols and abbreviation.
3.10. Tables
The tables number should appear and in sequential order in the text. Any footnotes should be type under the table using lowercase letter. Do not use vertical typing in the table. Repeated data statements in table and in the text should be avoided.
3.11. References
Citation in text
