《燃料电池科学和技术杂志》发表经同行评审的档案学术文章、研究论文、技术简报，以及关于各种类型燃料电池的科学、工程和制造等各方面的专题文章。具体的重要领域包括但不限于：组成材料的开发、连接、结合、连接、相间/相间区域以及密封、电池设计、加工和制造、多尺度建模、联合和耦合行为、老化。出版的大部分论文将介绍原始的学术著作，但一些已出版的论文将介绍案例研究、新颖的过程、最近的研究、开发或制造的进展、现场堆叠测试的结果等。涉及燃料电池政策或监管问题的档案文件也将属于期刊的范围。此外，还将出版特刊，其中载有具体燃料电池会议的论文。
The Journal of Fuel Cell Science and Technology publishes peer-reviewed archival scholarly articles, Research Papers, Technical Briefs, and feature articles on all aspects of the science, engineering, and manufacturing of fuel cells of all types. Specific areas of importance include, but are not limited to: development of constituent materials, joining, bonding, connecting, interface/interphase regions, and seals, cell design, processing and manufacturing, multi-scale modeling, combined and coupled behavior, aging, durability and damage tolerance, reliability, availability, stack design, processing and manufacturing, system design and manufacturing, power electronics, optimization and control, fuel cell applications, and fuels and infrastructure.The majority of the papers published will present original scholarly work, but a number of published papers will describe, for example, case studies, novel processes, recent research, development or manufacturing advancements, results from on-site stack tests, etc. Archival papers addressing policy or regulatory issues relating to fuel cells will also fall under the scope of the journal. Special issues will also be published that contain the papers of specific fuel cell conferences.
