Submission to the WES - NAWEA '24 Special Issue can be done here. Please note the details below.

Conditions by WES:

• All submitted papers will be peer reviewed according to the journal's high-quality standards.
• A 27% discount (for a maximum of 20 pages) on the publication charges will be automatically applied to all accepted papers. The discount is sponsored by EAWE and by the journal publisher Copernicus. 
• The offer is valid for papers based on work presented at NAWEA/WindTech 2024 and submitted to the journal at the latest one week after the end the conference (Friday Nov. 8, 2024).

Why WES?

• WES is an open-access international scientific journal publishing high-quality fundamental and pioneering research, reviews and commentaries in wind energy. The Editorial Board is composed by leading scientists in their fields, supported by a large pool of expert reviewers, together ensuring the highest scientific standards.
• Divided into six thematic areas, the journal covers all main fields of wind energy: wind and the atmosphere; fluid mechanics; dynamics and control; wind technologies; materials and operation; electrical conversion, integration and impacts. Soon after submission, papers under review are posted on the journal website. This means that papers are visible and accessible immediately after submission and throughout the entire peer-review process. 
• WES has a unique interactive public peer-review process. In addition to the expert referees nominated by the Editorial Board, readers too can post comments to a manuscript submitted to the journal. By taking an active role in the review of new research, readers can help improve scientific quality and foster discussion and transparency.
