For many energy policy analysts, Nicky France has been a landmark editor. She developed the journal Energy Policy (Butterworths; Elsevier] as a globally most recognized and outreaching platform to discuss energy policy issues. Through EP, a variety of visions, approaches, and propositions could find their way to a global audience. Although sometimes chaotic, Nicky found acceptable solutions for the broadest spectrum of ideas to speak out.<\/li>\n<li>Vested energy interests, incorporated in global fossil fuels, nuclear and power supply companies, were not happy with the independent and franc Energy Policy journal. Since 2012, the open energy policy platform at \u2018Energy Policy\u2019 is being destroyed. Nicky France was removed for Michael Jefferson and Lorna Greening as editors. Since then, independent and critical research is no longer welcome at Energy Policy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Three cases illustrate the practices applied (more evidence on the cases can be supplied).<br \/>\nOur experience was not exceptional, as a letter from the Sustainability Transitions Research Network illustrates.<br \/>\nBecause the practices were unacceptable and there were no intentions to curb them soon, I resigned from Energy Policy\u2019s Board. The new editor left (voluntary or forced?) a few months later.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doclink\" href=\"\/~documents\/transversal-issues\/176-20140714-trans-energy-policy-editorial-practices-case-nuclear-discourses-vt\/\">20140714 TRANS Energy Policy editorial practices Case Nuclear discourses VT<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doclink\" href=\"\/~documents\/transversal-issues\/177-20140819-trans-energy-policy-editorial-practices-case-too-much-oil-vt\/\">20140819 TRANS Energy Policy editorial practices Case Too much oil VT<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doclink\" href=\"\/~documents\/transversal-issues\/178-20140909-trans-energy-policy-editorial-practices-case-viewpoint-electricity-sector-transition-vt\/\">20140909 TRANS Energy Policy editorial practices Case Viewpoint Electricity Sector Transition VT<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doclink\" href=\"\/~documents\/transversal-issues\/179-20141015-trans-sustainability-transitions-research-network-letter-to-energy-policy-editor\/\">20141015 TRANS Sustainability Transitions Research Network Letter to Energy Policy editor<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doclink\" href=\"\/~documents\/transversal-issues\/180-20150202-trans-aviel-verbruggen-s-resignation-from-energy-policy-board-vt\/\">20150202 TRANS Aviel Verbruggen&#8217;s Resignation from Energy Policy Board VT<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/article>\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"elementor-post elementor-grid-item post-303 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-transversal-issues\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post__text\">\n\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-post__title\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/avielverbruggen.be\/en\/transversal-issues\/65-list-of-downloadable-files\/\" >\n\t\t\t\tDownload files about Transversal issues\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t<p>Please find here the list of documents on transversal issues:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doclink\" href=\"\/~documents\/about-aviel\/235-20200612-aviel-roadmap-website-english-vt\/\">20200612 AVIEL Roadmap Website English VT<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doclink\" href=\"\/~documents\/transversal-issues\/228-20191000-trans-energy-governance-in-belgium-at\/\">20191000 TRANS Energy Governance In Belgium AT<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doclink\" href=\"\/~documents\/transversal-issues\/46-20170000-trans-sustainable-energy-transition-research-vt\/\">20170000 TRANS Sustainable Energy Transition Research VT<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"doclink\" href=\"\/~documents\/about-aviel\/169-20140900-trans-could-it-be-that-stock-stake-holders-rule-transition-arenas-at\/\">20140900 TRANS Could it be that stock stake holders rule transition arenas?
