    • Power Electronics and Drives achieves an significant increase in Journal Impact Factor!
    We are thrilled to share an exciting news that Power Electronics and Drives has achieved its 2024 Journal Impact Factors (JIF)™, IF=1.5, as revealed in the 2024 edition of the Journal Citation Reports (JCR), where it has been raised from Q4 to Q3 journal.
    This new IF is more than twice its inaugural 2023 value.
    This recognition marks a remarkable milestone and a testament to the journal’s growing impact.
    This significant achievement is a result of the invaluable contributions made by our esteemed authors, reviewers, and editorial team.



    To celebrate this momentous occasion, we invite you to contribute your cutting-edge work to Power Electronics and Drives, especially survey-type papers. As a token of appreciation, we are offering 30% discount for survey articles till end of this year.

  • April 2025:

    • Power Electronics and Drives has been positively evaluated for inclusion in SCOPUS.
    After two unsuccessful applications, in 2019 and 2022, as a result of the last application in February 2025, the Scopus Title Evaluation Team positively assessed our journal Power Electronics and Drives and decided to include it in the Scopus database (5.04.2025).
    Thus, another milestone (after its inclusion in the prestigious Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) within the Web of Science Core Collection in October 2024) has been achieved and from now on PEAD will be indexed in both of the most renowned indexing databases for scientific journals.
    This success was achieved through intensive work by the journal’s editorial office, related not only to meeting all formal requirements regarding the review process of articles, their editing and form, but also to acquiring new authors and renowned Associate Editors and organizing special sections. All of this resulted in an increase in journal citations and thus a positive assessment by Scopus experts.
    We attribute this remarkable achievement to the unwavering support and dedication of our esteemed journal editors, diligent reviewers, talented authors, and avid readers. This moment would not have been possible without the invaluable contributions of each of you.
    As we celebrate this milestone, we extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have played a pivotal role in the success of our journal.

To ensure compliance with this requirement, the submitting author should, prior to the submission, contact all co-authors and request that they, if necessary, edit contact details in their authors accounts.

  • The Power Electronics and Drives journal has been positively evaluated for inclusion in the Web of Sciences (Emerging Sources Citation Index - ESCI).
    After the reviews received from Clarivate Analytics in July 2021, which did not accept the journal into this database, a two-year waiting period was required while the journal addressed the suggestions made by CA. Last year, in July 2022 a new application was submitted to Clarivate, and at least after 1.5 year the CA recognized the continued development of the journal and the Editors’ reply.

  • Documenting papers published in Power Electronics and Drives

    Since the journal Power Electronics and Drives is a continuation of the journal "Scientific Papers of the Institute of Electrical Machines, Drives and Measurements of the Wroclaw University of Technology. Studies and Research" (ISSN 1733-0718), at realigning articles in the PBN Base, you will need to manually link them with the old title. This is due to the fact placing our journal “Power Electronics and Drives” in the "List of scientific journals that contain the history of the journals from the lists published for the years 2013-2016” (pdf) under the previous title "Prace Naukowe Instytutu Maszyn, Napędów i Pomiarów Elektrycznych Politechniki Wrocławskiej. Studia i Materiały".

    (W związku z tym, że czasopismo Power Electronics and Drives jest kontynuacją czasopisma "Prace Naukowe Instytutu Maszyn, Napędów i Pomiarów Elektrycznych Politechniki Wrocławskiej” (ISSN 1733-0718) przy ujednolicaniu czasopisma w Bazie PBN konieczne będzie jego powiązanie ręczne ze starym tytułem. Związane jest to faktem umieszczenia naszego czasopisma Power Electronics and Drives na "Wykazie czasopism naukowych zawierających historię czasopisma z publikowanych wykazów za lata 2013-2016" (pdf) pod poprzednim tytułem "Prace Naukowe Instytutu Maszyn, Napędów i Pomiarów Elektrycznych Politechniki Wrocławskiej”.)
