Energy Research & Social Science

Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) is a peer-reviewed international journal that publishes original research and review articles examining the relationship between energy systems and society. ERSS covers a range of topics revolving around the intersection of energy technologies, fuels, and resources on one side and social processes and influences - including communities of energy users, people affected by energy production, social institutions, customs, traditions, behaviors, and policies - on the other. Put another way, ERSS investigates the social system surrounding energy technology and hardware. ERSS is relevant for energy practitioners, researchers interested in the social aspects of energy production or use, and policymakers. Energy Research & Social Science (ERSS) provides an interdisciplinary forum to discuss how social and technical issues related to energy production and consumption interact. Energy production, distribution, and consumption all have both technical and human components, and the latter involves the human causes and consequences of energy-related activities and processes as well as social structures that shape how people interact with energy systems. Energy analysis, therefore, needs to look beyond the dimensions of technology and economics to include these social and human elements.

《Energy Research & Social Science》（ERSS）是一份同行评审的国际期刊，发表研究能源系统与社会之间关系的原创研究和评论文章。ERSS 涵盖一系列围绕能源技术、燃料和资源以及社会进程和影响的交叉主题，包括能源用户社区、受能源生产影响的人们、社会机构、习俗、传统、行为和政策。换句话说，ERSS 调查围绕能源技术和硬件的社会系统。ERSS 与能源从业者、对能源生产或使用的社会方面感兴趣的研究人员以及政策制定者相关。它提供了一个跨学科论坛，讨论与能源生产和消费相关的社会和技术问题如何相互作用。
