Our JESTIE journal has a NEW category – Discover “Pioneering Work”!
14 February, 2022
We are happy to announce that our IEEE Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics in Industrial Electronics has a NEW category, “Pioneering Work.”
At JESTIE, we publish pioneering work in rapid mode. The review will be done in one month’s time and a quick decision will be taken to ensure that PIONEERING WORK reaches the audience very quickly.
Such papers will not wait in the queue and will be published in the immediately next issue in JESTIE.
JESTIE publishes the following category of papers:
- PIONEERING WORK (PW): Fundamental/pioneering works with experimental verification are published under this category. Decision (ACCEPT/REJECT or MINOR REVISION) will be taken after the first review. There will not be any MAJOR REVISION. Minor revision may be asked by the AE and a maximum of two weeks’ time will be given to attend to the revisions recommended. The motivation of this category is to encourage submission of fundamental and pioneering work in areas that are within the scope of JESTIE. All papers accepted in this category will not be in queue and will be published immediately in the next issue in JESTIE. A manuscript in this category should preferably be within 8 to 12 pages (single spacing double column format) in length including photo and bio of the authors. As a decision will be taken after the first review, authors need to be careful in preparing the manuscript. PW papers should be very new such as opening a new area of research. Authors need not pay any extra page charge for PW papers.
- EXPRESS REGULAR (ER): An EXPRESS REGULAR (ER) promotes fast publication of research work that is novel. All decisions will be taken in the first stage of review itself. No major revision is allowed. Minor revision may be asked by the AE and a maximum of two weeks’ time will be given to attend to the revisions recommended. A manuscript in this category should be within 8 pages (single spacing double column format) in length including photo and bio of the authors. Mandatory page charges will apply beyond the first 8 pages if the manuscript becomes more than 8 pages after editing and final formatting by IEEE. Note that photo and bio are not mandatory.
- EXPRESS BRIEF (EB): An EXPRESS BRIEF (EB) promotes fast publication of a part of the research work that is novel. New developments of established concepts are also welcome. Authors must be very careful to prepare the manuscript as all decisions will be taken in the first stage of review itself. No major revision is allowed. Minor revision may be asked by the AE and a maximum of two weeks’ time will be given to attend to the revisions recommended. A manuscript in this category should be within a maximum of 6 pages (single spacing double column format) in length including photo and bio of the authors. Note that photo and bio are not mandatory. As the length of the manuscript is restricted to maximum 6 pages, no extra page charge will apply.
- REGULAR: Any research work that is within the scope of JESTIE having page length between 8 to 10 pages (including photo and bio of the authors) comes in this category. Decisions will be taken in a timely manner but several stages of revision may be asked by the Associate Editor and the EIC depending on the comments from the reviewers. At every stage, decisions may be ACCEPT/REJECT/MINOR or MAJOR revision. Mandatory page charge will apply beyond the first 8 pages. It is expected that a decision will be taken within a maximum of three REVISION unless there is a special case as decided by the AEs and the EIC.
- SPECIAL SECTION: SPECIAL SECTION (SS) papers are similar to the regular category but this is focused on the area of an SS. These papers are published clubbed under the corresponding SS. In case any SS doesn’t have at least 5 papers (accepted), such SS-papers will be published as regular papers in the journal.
- CONFERENCE: Manuscripts in conference category must cite the conference paper in the reference. Authors can submit papers from the conferences sponsored/co-sponsored by IES, DEIS, IAS, PELS and PES. Papers must be within the scope of IES and in emerging areas only as listed in the JESTIE website. Authors may submit modified and improved versions of the conference paper. Similarity-index should be below 50% considering all related publications including the “conference paper”. Maximum page length at the time of submission to be between 8 to 10 pages (including photo and bio of the authors if authors prefer to add the same). Decisions will be taken in a timely manner but several stages of revision may be asked by the Associate Editor and the EIC depending on the comments from the reviewers. At every stage, decisions may be ACCEPT/REJECT/MINOR or MAJOR revision. Mandatory page charge will apply beyond the first 8 pages. It is expected that a decision will be taken within a maximum of three REVISION unless there is a special case as decided by the AEs and the EIC.
- LETTER: A letter is focused on a specific topic where authors would like to publish one aspect of some work. All LETTERS must have experimental verification of the proposed concept. A LETTER can be a maximum of 4 pages (single spacing double column format) in length without Photo and Bio. Note that for letters, Photo and bio are not required.
For JESTIE, all categories of papers require some form of experimental verification of the proposed concept except papers in some of the emerging areas such as in power systems, cybersecurity etc., where conducting experiments are almost impossible. All manuscripts must be within the scope of JESTIE. Authors are requested to regularly check the EMERGING and SELECTED areas in JESTIE-website. SS papers must be within the scope of the corresponding SS.
