光电技术的进展为报告这一迅速发展的技术的进展提供了一个享有声望的论坛，旨在让所有感兴趣的专业人士、研究人员和能源政策制定者了解这一进展。关键的标准是所有提交的论文都应该报告光伏技术的实质性进展。论文被鼓励报告实质性的“进展”，比如在独立认证的太阳能电池效率方面取得的进步，有资格进入该期刊广泛引用的太阳能电池效率表的新条目。例子的论文将不考虑出版是那些报告发展材料对电池性能的数据没有关系,常规分析、描述或细胞或造型处理序列,常规报告系统性能,改善电子硬件设计,或国家项目,虽然邀请可能偶尔征集论文在这些领域捕捉积累的“进步”。系统论文只在例外情况下才会被考虑，例如系统应用的新发展已在能源产量或可靠性方面取得重大进展。鼓励未来的作者考虑他们的贡献在多大程度上报告了该领域的重大进展，并考虑为那些没有达到光电进展所要求的高标准的人提供其他出版手段。

Progress in Photovoltaics offers a prestigious forum for reporting advances in this rapidly developing technology, aiming to reach all interested professionals, researchers and energy policy-makers.The key criterion is that all papers submitted should report substantial “progress” in photovoltaics.Papers are encouraged that report substantial “progress” such as gains in independently certified solar cell efficiency, eligible for a new entry in the journal's widely referenced Solar Cell Efficiency Tables.Examples of papers that will not be considered for publication are those that report development in materials without relation to data on cell performance, routine analysis, characterisation or modelling of cells or processing sequences, routine reports of system performance, improvements in electronic hardware design, or country programs, although invited papers may occasionally be solicited in these areas to capture accumulated “progress”.Systems papers will only be considered in exceptional cases, such as where new developments in system applications have produced substantial progress in energy yield or reliability.Prospective authors are encouraged to consider the degree to which their contributions report significant progress in the field and to consider other means of publication for those not meeting the high standard required by Progress in Photovoltaics.
