Release of the Open Journal of Power Electronics

In 1996, the SOBRAEP Deliberative Council proposed the release of an Open Journal, focused on Power Electronics and Electrical Drives, the Open Journal of Power Electronics. The first issue of the Open Journal of Power Electronics was released on June 1996 (vol. 1, n. 1), with the main objective of disseminating the national researches in the field of Power Electronics, not only in the academic circles, but also in the productive/industrial environment.


Major transformations were accomplished from 2003, both in terms of formatting, and, mainly, implementing a fully electronic system to submit and analyze papers for the Open Journal of Power Electronics, called iSOBRAEP system.

The goal of increasing the visibility of the Open Journal of Power Electronics has become feasible with the development of the iSOBRAEP system, and with the transformation of the publication mainly to the electronic form, Open Access, distributed over the Internet, it was intended to increase the visibility of the Open Journal of Power Electronics, increasing its impact factor in bibliographical references.

In 2018, several improvements were made aiming the indexation in the Scopus Database. The submission system was moved to the well known ScholarOne Manuscripts and a new website was built, including the Journal database. Another improvement was the DOI (Digital Object Identifier) attribution to all published papers by the Open Journal of Power Electronics since its first edition in 1996.

Since December 2023, Eletrônica de Potência uses the CC BY 4.0, and since january of 2024 the frequency of publication was changed and it is published continuously. Besides, our editorial policy follows the research communication in the Open Science modus operandi

Update on Publication and Extra Page Fee Charging Procedure

2026-03-26

The editorial team of Eletrônica de Potência (Open Journal of Power Electronics) informs that an update has been implemented in the procedure for charging publication fees and extra page fees.

Previously, these fees were charged before the submission of the final manuscript files. In some cases, this procedure led to delays in the editorial workflow, particularly due to constraints faced by authors regarding payment processing. Additionally, since the editing process may naturally result in changes to the final number of pages, uncertainties could arise regarding the correct amount to be charged.

To improve transparency, efficiency, and alignment with the editorial process, a new procedure has been established:

  • Extra page fees will now be charged after the submission of the final manuscript files. All communications will be conducted using official SOBRAEP e-mail addresses.
  • The final number of pages will therefore be considered, providing greater clarity to authors regarding the applicable charges;
  • All charges will be handled directly by the treasury of the SOBRAEP, ensuring better financial management, improved payment tracking, and proper issuance of receipts (when necessary). 

It is important to emphasize that the fee amounts remain unchanged, as specified in the journal’s Instructions for Authors. The main goal of this update is to increase transparency, facilitate payment control, and contribute to a more efficient editorial workflow. As a result, a shorter time between article acceptance and final publication is also expected.

The new procedure is already being implemented and will apply to all articles published from 2026 onward.
