Peer Review Process

This journal operates a conventional single-blind reviewing policy in which the reviewer's name is always concealed from the submitting author. Authors should present their papers honestly without fabrication, falsification, plagiarism, or inappropriate data manipulation. Submitted papers are evaluated by anonymous referees for contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation. Papers will be sent for anonymous review by at least two reviewers who will either be members of the Editorial Board or others of similar standing in the field. In order to shorten the review process and respond quickly to authors, the Editors may triage a submission and come to a decision without sending the paper for external review. The Editor shall inform you of the results of the review as soon as possible, hopefully in 8-12 weeks. The Editors’ decision is final, and no correspondence can be entered into concerning manuscripts considered unsuitable for publication in this journal. All correspondence, including notification of the Editors’ decision and requests for revisions, will be sent by email. No changes in the author list will be permitted after a manuscript has been accepted.

Publication Ethics and Publication Malpractice Statement

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science (IAES) is a non-profit international scientific association of distinguished scholars engaged in engineering and science devoted to promoting research and technologies in engineering and science field through digital technology. IAES Journals are peer-reviewed international journals. This statement clarifies ethical behavior of all parties involved in the act of publishing an article in our journals, including the authors, the editors, the peer-reviewer­­­­­s and the publisher (Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science). This statement is based on COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.

Ethical Guideline for Journal Publication

The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering (IJECE) is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the authors, the journal editors, the peer reviewers, the publisher, and the society. 

Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science (IAES) as publisher of IAES Journals takes its duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously and we recognize our ethical and other responsibilities. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprinting, or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions. In addition, the IAES and Editorial Board will assist in communications with other journals and/or publishers where this is useful and necessary.

Publication decisions

The editors of the IAES journals are responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editors may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editors may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Fair play

An editor at any time evaluates manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality

The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and conflicts of interest

Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author.

Duties of Reviewers

Contribution to Editorial Decisions

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper.

Promptness

Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality

Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity

Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest

Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

Duties of Authors

Reporting standards

Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable.

Data Access and Retention

Authors are asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review and should be prepared to provide public access to such data (consistent with the ALPSP-STM Statement on Data and Databases), if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism

The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted.

Multiple, Redundant, or Concurrent Publication

An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable.

Acknowledgement of Sources

Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work.

Authorship of the Paper

Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors.

Policy of Plagiarism Detection

The peer-review process is at the heart of scientific publishing. As part of IAES's commitment to protecting the integrity of the scholarly record, IAES feels a strong obligation to support the scientific community in all aspects of research and publishing ethics. All submitted manuscripts must be free from plagiarism contents. All authors are suggested to use plagiarism detection software to do the similarity checking before submitting their manuscript to the journal (please use iThenticate or Turnitin to check the similarity). Editors will also check the similarity of manuscripts in this journal by using Turnitin or iThenticate software. The manuscript will instantly be rejected if there is plagiarism indicated or detected. The final camera-ready also will be checked again for the similarity rate. The overall similarity rate of a manuscript should not exceed 25 percent, and the similarity rate to a single source should not exceed 10 percent.

 

Checklist for preparing your paper for publication

  1. Is your manuscript written in IAES format? At this stage, it is essential that you follow every detail of the IAES format. Please try to follow the format as closely as possible. Be sure to carefully review our most up-to-date manuscript submission guidelines.
  2. Is your title adequate and is your abstract correctly written? The title is the part of a paper that is read the most, and it is usually read first. The title is max 10 words, without acronyms or abbreviations. The Abstract (MAX 200 WORDS) should be informative and completely self-explanatory (no citation in the abstract), provide a clear statement of the problem, the proposed approach or solution, and point out major findings and conclusions.
  3. Authors are suggested to present their articles in the sections structure: 1. Introduction - 2. The Proposed Method/Algorithm/Procedure specifically designed (optional) - 3. Research Method - 4. Results and Discussion – 5. Conclusion. Authors may present complex proofs of theorems or non-obvious proofs of the correctness of algorithms after the introduction section (obvious theorems & straightforward proofs of existing theorems are NOT needed).
  4. Introduction section: explain the context of the study and state the precise objective. An Introduction should contain the following three parts (within 3-7 paragraphs):
    - Background: Authors have to make clear what the context is. Ideally, authors should give an idea of the state-of-the-art of the field the report is about.
    - The Problem: If there was no problem, there would be no reason for writing a manuscript, and definitely no reason for reading it. So, please tell readers why they should proceed with reading. Experience shows that for this part a few lines are often sufficient.
    - The Proposed Solution: Now and only now! - authors may outline the contribution of the manuscript. Here authors have to make sure readers point out what are the novel aspects of authors' work.
    Authors should place the paper in proper context by citing relevant papers. At least 15 references (recent journal articles) are used in this section.
  5. Method section: the presentation of the experimental methods should be clear and complete in every detail facilitating reproducibility by other scientists.
  6. Results and discussion section: The presentation of results should be simple and straightforward in style. This section reports the most important findings, including results of statistical analyses as appropriate and comparisons to other research results. Results given in figures should not be repeated in tables. This is where the author(s) should explain in words what he/she/they discovered in the research. It should be clearly laid out and in a logical sequence. This section should be supported with suitable references.
  7. Conclusion section: Summarize sentences the primary outcomes of the study in a paragraph. Are the claims in this section supported by the results, do they seem reasonable? Have the authors indicated how the results relate to expectations and to earlier research? Does the article support or contradict previous theories? Does the conclusion explain how the research has moved the body of scientific knowledge forward?
  8. Language. If an article is poorly written due to grammatical errors, it may make it more difficult to understand the science.
  9. Figures and Tables. Relation of Tables or Figures and Text: Because tables and figures supplement the text, all tables and figures should be referenced in the text. Avoid placing figures and tables before their first mention in the text. Authors also must explain what the reader should look for when using the table or figure. Focus only on the important points the reader should draw from them and leave the details for the reader to examine on her own.
    Figures:
    a. All figures appearing in the article must be numbered in the order that they appear in the text.
    b. Each figure must have a caption fully explaining the content
    c. Figure captions are presented as a paragraph starting with the figure number i.e. Figure 1, Figure 2, etc.
    d. Figure captions appear below the figure
    e. Each figure must be fully cited if taken from another article
    f. all figures must be referred to in the body of the article
    Tables:
    a. Material that is tabular in nature must appear in a numbered captioned table.
    b. All tables appearing in the article must be numbered in the order that they appear in the text.
    c. Each table must have a caption fully explaining the content with the table number i.e. Table 1, Table 2, etc.
    d. Each column must have a clear and concise heading
    e. Tables are to be presented with a single horizontal line under the table caption, the column headings, and at the end of the table.
    f. All tables must be referred to in the body of the article
    g. Each table must be fully cited if taken from another article
  10. Please be sure that the manuscript is relevant, up-to-date, balanced, dynamic, concise, and direct. Please ensure that all statements are supported by appropriate and up-to-date references (see 11). 
  11. Is the manuscript clearly written? Is the article exciting? Does the content flow well from one section to another? Please try to keep your manuscript on the proper level. It should be easy to understand by well-qualified professionals, but at the same time please avoid describing well-known facts (use proper references instead). Often manuscripts receive negative reviews because reviewers are not able to understand the manuscript, and this is the authors' (not the reviewers') fault. Notice that if reviewers have difficulties, then other readers will face the same problem and there is no reason to publish the manuscript.
  12. Do you have enough references? The minimum number of references is 25 to 30 entries (and the 20 entries are recent journal articles) for original research articles, and the minimum number of references is 50 to 55 entries for review papers.  Citations of textbooks should be used very rarely and citations to web pages should be avoided. All cited papers should be referenced within the text of the manuscript.
  13. Use tools such as EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero for reference management and formatting, and choose IEEE style. Each citation should be written in the order of appearance in the text in square brackets. For example, the first citation [1], the second citation [2], and the third and fourth citations [3], [4]. When citing multiple sources at once, the preferred method is to list each number separately, in its own brackets, using a comma or dash between numbers, such as: [1], [3], [5]. It is not necessary to mention an author's name, pages used, or date of publication in the in-text citation. Instead, refer to the source with a number in a square bracket, e.g. [9], that will then correspond to the full citation in your reference list. Examples of in-text citations:
    • This theory was first put forward in 1970 [9].
    • Zadeh [10] has argued that ...
    • Several recent studies [7], [9], [11]-[15] have suggested that....
    • ... end of the line for my research [16].
  14. Self-citations: to control citation manipulation (COPE, 2019), this journal asks that authors keep self-citation to a minimum. We would strongly recommend no more than 5 (including jointly authored publications), or 20% self-citations, whichever number is lower.

  15. Please be aware that for the final submission of a regular paper, you will be asked to tailor your paper so the last page is not half empty.

 

Withdrawal of Manuscripts

Authors are not allowed to withdraw submitted manuscripts, because the withdrawals are a waste of valuable resources that editors and referees spend a great deal of time processing submitted manuscripts, money, and works invested by the publisher.

If authors still request withdrawal of their manuscripts when the manuscripts are still in the peer-reviewing process, authors will be punished with paying $200 per manuscript, as a withdrawal penalty to the publisher. However, it is unethical to withdraw a submitted manuscript from one journal if accepted by another journal. The withdrawal of manuscripts after the manuscripts are accepted for publication, the author will be punished by paying US$500 per manuscript. Withdrawal of manuscripts is only allowed after the withdrawal penalty has been fully paid to the Publisher.

If authors don't agree to pay the penalty, the authors and their affiliations will be blacklisted for publication in this journal. Even their previously published articles will be removed from our online system.

 

Checklist for finalizing your camera-ready paper for publication

URGENT!! Pay close attention to the directions below! Please try your best to prevent any publishing delays while you finish writing your final article. YOU MUST TAKE ACTION!

1). Please adhere strictly to the guide of the authors! Follow the checklist for preparing your final paper for publication: http://ijece.iaescore.com/index.php/IJECE/about/editorialPolicies#custom-3.

2). The final paper must be presented using the "IMRADC style" section structure.
     1. INTRODUCTION
     2. The Proposed Method/Algorithm/Procedure specifically designed (optional)
     3. METHOD
     4. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
     5. CONCLUSION
     See http://iaescore.com/gfa/ijece.docx
Prepare all tables as our template (NOT as figure)

3). Add author biographies as our template. Include links to the profiles of the four authors and don't get rid of any of the icons in the template. As many links as you can to the four icons (Scholar, Scopus, Publons, and ORCID) for each author. It must be done!

4). Please make sure that your text properly cites all sources. Choose IEEE style and organize your references using a program like EndNote, Mendeley, or Zotero. In square brackets, each citation should be listed in the text's order of appearance. The first citation [1], the second citation [2], and the third and fourth citations [3], [4], are a few examples. It is preferable to put each number separately, in its own brackets, using a comma or dash to separate the numbers, as in [1, [3,] [5]. This is how several sources should be cited at once. It is not required to include an author's name, the pages they were on, or the publication date in the in-text reference. Instead, cite the source with a number enclosed in square brackets, such as [9], which will then match the whole citation in your reference list. Examples of in-text citations:
    This theory was first put forward in 1970 [9].
    Zadeh [10] has argued that ...
    Several recent studies [7], [9], [11]-[15] have suggested that....
    ... end of the line for my research [16].

5). Please utilize IEEE style and provide all references in their entirety (include information on DOIs, volume, number, pages, etc.). DOI data must be provided if it's available. Take a look at http://iaescore.com/gfa/ijece.docx.

6). When showing various findings in your figures or visuals, use distinct PATTERNS (instead of different colors). It is necessary! Take a look at http://iaescore.com/gfa/ijece.docx.
