Abstract: We derive the gravitational energy momentum tensor $a{u}_{alpha}^{eta}$ for a general Lagrangian of any order $L=Lleft(g_{muu},g_{muu,i_1},g_{muu,i_1{i}_2},g_{muu,i_1{i}_2{i}_3},cdots,g_{muu,i_1{i}_2{i}_{3}cdots{i}_n}ight)$ and in particular for a Lagrangian such as $L_g=(overlineR+a_0{R}^2+su{m}_{k=1}^p{a}_{k}RBo{x}^{k}R)sqrt-g$. We prove that this tensor, in general, is not covariant but only affine, then it is a pseudo-tensor. Furthermore, the pseudo-tensor $a{u}_{alpha}^{eta}$ is calculated in the weak field limit up to a first non-vanishing term of order $h^2$ where $h$ is the metric perturbation. The average value of the pseudo-tensor over a suitable spacetime domain is obtained. Finally we calculate the power per unit solid angle $Omega$ carried by a gravitational wave in a direction $hatx$ for a fixed wave number $mathbfk$ under a suitable gauge. These results are useful in view of searching for further modes of gravitational radiation beyond the standard two modes of General Relativity and to deal with nonlocal theories of gravity where terms involving $BoxR$ are present. The general aim of the approach is to deal with theories of any order under the same standard of Landau pseudo-tensor.
