Subscribe: http://hq.ssrn.com/jourInvite.cfm?link=Review-Environment-Energy-Economics

The Review of Environment, Energy and Economics, in short Re3, is a tool for the dissemination of the work and research-based policy analysis of FEEM researchers and leading international scholars, covering the areas of the environment, energy and economics, and offering new insights into the challenges ahead.

The target readership spans from researchers and academics to policy makers, journalists, professionals, firms, and a general audience of readers wishing to understand the intricacies of the environment-energy-economics challenge. Re3 publishes non technical scientific articles and policy-oriented contributions, selected presentations, literature surveys, interviews to leading scholars and experts, short briefs on FEEM research areas and book reviews.

It collects both invited contributions and unsolicited submissions, and readers will have the opportunity to comment on the posts. Re3 aims at a steady flow of contributions, and it publishes new submissions as they become available, rather than collecting articles for release as an issue. Open access is provided to all readers, and the processes of submission, evaluation, and publication are electronic.
