Announcements

Authors need to know

  
1. A journal differs from a conference. A journal follows a regular publication schedule and publishes a set number of papers in each issue and each year. In a journal, the number of published papers must be reasonable and understandable for each issue and year, as announced on the website.

2. During the review process, each author competes with the others. Authors should utilize the time allocated by the editor to revise and update their work when necessary, considering feedback from reviewers and editors, with the goal of winning the competition. Authors should be aware that the publication quota of a journal is limited. The journal will only publish the best papers, rejecting all others due to the limitation.

3. Once a manuscript receives acceptance, it still requires additional processing, such as preparing the final camera-ready paper and proofreading, among other things. Authors should be aware and cooperative with all processes. Even after the processing has been completed, authors should exercise patience in waiting for the publication scheduling due to point number 1.

4.Scopus has three metrics (SJR, CiteScore, and SNIP). ScimagoJR announces the SJR and quartile every year around May, while Scopus directly announces the other metrics, CiteScore and SNIP. Scopus also will classify quartiles based on CiteScore. So, metrics and quartiles of a journal can fluctuate every year.

5. A journal indexed by Scopus can be flagged by CSAB Scopus for reevaluation at any time due to radar (mainly self-citations and bursts of published papers), metrics, etc. When Scopus flags a journal, the process of adding published papers to it remains pending. The re-evaluation decision can either pass or fail, and time for re-evaluation varies, either consuming fast or long times (some weeks, some months, or even more than 1 year). If the re-evaluation result is passed, published papers will continue to be added to the Scopus database, but if it fails, the journal will be discontinued for inclusion, and there will be no added new published papers to the Scopus database.

6. Authors should be aware of the above matters; therefore, the cooperation of authors and editors is needed to maintain, establish, and accelerate the journal's performance.

Should you cite yourself or not? avoid citing your published papers in this publisher whenever possible in the future

  

Self-citation in academic publishing is a complex issue that can have a significant impact on how people perceive scholarly work. Institutional frameworks may unintentionally encourage authors to cite themselves, reducing the value of their work. This raises concerns about academic integrity and the possibility of technical plagiarism. Researchers should consider why authors self-cite and promote honesty in scholarly communication in order to reduce self-citation and increase credibility. Authors should exercise caution when citing their own work, particularly if they write for the same publisher. This can raise concerns about academic integrity and result in biased research dissemination. Avoiding self-citation not only improves the credibility of their work, but it also encourages a more comprehensive engagement with a larger body of scholarship. Understanding proper citation techniques strengthens an author's adherence to ethical scholarly practices. Navigating the nuances of academic citation practices is critical for scholars seeking integrity and clarity in their work. Over-reliance on one's own publications may unintentionally indicate a lack of interaction with the broader scholarly community. Scholars from various backgrounds may face unique challenges in understanding academic integrity conventions, particularly those involving self-referential citations. To maintain objectivity and credibility, authors should use a strategic approach when referencing their own work. Overreliance on previous papers can give the impression of self-validation and reduce the impact of research within the larger academic discourse. As a result, authors should avoid citing their published papers from this publisher whenever possible in the future.

Multiple Submission (Simultaneous Submissions) and Prior Publication

  

Dear Authors,

Authors should only submit original work that has not previously been published or is currently under review for another refereed publication. The Institute of Advanced Engineering and Science (IAES) and Intelektual Pustaka Media Utama (IPMU) does not allow manuscripts under review in a journal or conference proceeding to be under review for another publication at the same time.

Simultaneous submissions should be avoided because they may result in copyright violations or disputes if the work is published in multiple publications and consumes the production and financial resources of more than one publication that could have been used for other research. Multiple publications waste money and space, do not provide full value to members and libraries, and cause citation and indexing confusion. It should be avoided.

Authors who fail to properly cite their previous work or who submit the same manuscript to two or more publications without informing the editor that the paper is under review by another publication may face disciplinary actions such as:

1. A reminder that the action is unethical scholarly practice
2. A requirement to submit an apology to the editors, and/or
3. Authors are suspenseful of publication in the IAES journals for one year.

Your cooperation is very appreciated

Best Regards,
IAES Editorial Office
