%X The purpose of this research is to establish a comparative analysis between open access journals and those open access journals whose sole purpose is to research on energy as a socialized conduit. To achieve such objective three tools will be used, namely: 1) the bibliographic database of abstracts, 2) the citations of articles for scientific journals, including Scopus, and 3) bibliometric analysis. Different studies show research that has been published in non-open access journals is larger in content than those published in open access journals. Non-open access journals establish a trend indicating better SNIP and SJR scores in comparison to their open access journal counterparts. Such trends are considered very atypical, and they certainly cannot be pre-determined in other areas of knowledge which would include: medicine, agronomy, biochemistry, mathematics, and planetary sciences. So far, the United Kingdom has been the leading-edge country which has provided more funding for both non-open access journals and open access journals in terms of energy research.
