Submission Preparation Checklist:

As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission's compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.

• ✔ The submission has not been previously published, nor is it under consideration by any other journals.
• ✔ The submission file must be prepared using JSEE’s template. Manuscripts that do not follow the journal’s template will be declined.
• ✔ An original manuscript (in MS Word format) must be submitted with a complete list of authors.
• ✔ At least two suggested reviewers with contact details (including e-mail)

Manuscripts submitted to JSEE include review articles and original scientific research articles. Papers that have been published or under consideration elsewhere and/or copyrighted will not be considered for publication in JSEE. Where necessary, exceptions to this rule may be made when a particular manuscript has only appeared in conference proceedings with abstracts or has only had limited distribution. Authors of such manuscripts must report this issue in the submission process.

Manuscript Preparation:

All manuscripts submitted for review must be written in English. Manuscripts should contain names, affiliations, e-mail addresses of all the authors, an abstract of no more than 250 words, and a list of not more than 5 keywords. Sections and sub-sections of the paper should be numbered serially. All figures and tables must have individual titles and appear where they fit most into the text material to which they refer. Materials published elsewhere and used in the manuscripts should be referenced rather than paraphrased or reproduced. Proofs, calculations and derivation that detail the flow of thought and reading should be placed in Appendix. References should be arranged in the main text using the numbering method of citation. They should be arranged in the list of references (numbers in square brackets) in the order in which they appear in the text. Only the references that are cited in the text should be added to the reference list. Authors should follow the referencing format provided in the journal template.

Journal Template:

All manuscripts must be prepared in Microsoft Word and submitted online. All contributions submitted to JSEE will be checked for compliance before being sent for review. The template for manuscript preparation must be strictly followed and can be downloaded here:

The journal is committed to maintaining a high level of integrity in the content published. All parties involved in the publication process including, authors, editors and reviewers must agree to the following ethical behaviors:

Ethics of Authors:

Authors of a submitted manuscript should ensure that it is original and has not been published elsewhere. It should be written in good English with sufficient information and suitable citations. A duplicate of submission is not allowed. Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, a copyright transfer agreement is to be signed by the corresponding author and submitted to the Managing Editor. The authors of published articles are solely responsible for the content of their papers, including any scientific mistakes or plagiarism issue.

Ethics of Editors and Reviewers:

A "double-blind" peer review process is followed in JSEE meaning that for a particular manuscript, the names of the authors and reviewers are kept mutually exclusively confidential. The editors are responsible for ensuring that the peer review process is fair and done in a timely manner. Once a manuscript has been submitted to JSEE, the Managing Editor will be responsible for checking that it is relevant to the scope of the journal and the topics covered. If the manuscript complies with the scope and meets the basic requirements of the journal, it will be sent for review by a Subject Editor selected by the Managing Editor. Two reviewers with relevant expertise and no conflicts of interest with the authors of the manuscript will be selected by the Subject Editor. Reviewers should assist Subject Editors in making proper decisions as well as provide advice in case of possible misconduct, including, plagiarism, improper manipulation of data, duplicate submission, etc. Reviewers should inform authors how to improve their manuscripts. Any reviewed manuscript is to be treated in a confidential manner.

Publication Decisions:

A manuscript will be accepted for publication, or rejected, in accordance with the review results. In case of dubious results, a third reviewer may be invited to evaluate the manuscript. Subject Editors are responsible for the final decision regarding publication. This is to be informed to the managing editor who will then inform the authors accordingly and oversee copyright transfer agreement. JSEE will only accepts original research articles, including review papers that have not been published elsewhere.

Plagiarism:

If plagiarism is observed, the editors will immediately inform the authors of the rejection. If plagiarism is proven after publication, the article will be retracted from the journal and the authors informed accordingly. A record of plagiarism is kept in the database of the journal.
