l When the manuscript is accepted, a receipt e-mail with information on how to complete the mandatory IEEE Copyright Transfer & Export Control Form will be sent to authors.
l The biographies for all authors of an accepted manuscript MUST be included.
l The recommended maximum length is 12 pages for technical paper, and 20 pages for survey paper (effective since September 20, 2022). Besides, if the manuscript exceeds 8 pages (for both regular and "Special Section" papers in TCE), 250 USD will be charged per extra page by IEEE. For instance, If your manuscript has 12 pages finally, 1000 USD will be charged.
l English Editing Services are provided and recommended for non-native speakers to improve the paper quality if necessary.
TCE invites state-of-the-art research to be submitted as "Invited Paper". Authors may self-nominate. Please write to kf.tce.eic@gmail.com to notify the Editor-in-Chief of your submission.
Please contact the EiC, Kim-Fung Tsang at kf.tce.eic@gmail.com and copy tce.eic.assistant2@gmail.com in case authors have questions related to the submission or the review process of the manuscript.
*For speedy publication purpose, and with the consent of GEs of the corresponding SS, the Editor-in-Chief may post special section papers to regular paper track
Policies and guidelines
1) IEEE Peer Review Policy
The manuscripts to the IEEE TCE are peer reviewed in compliance with the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual's standards (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A). Each submitted manuscript will be reviewed by at least THREE (3) independent reviewers through single-blind peer review process.
2) IEEE Copyright Policy
Authors must sign a digital version of the IEEE Copyright Form upon acceptance of the paper to conform with the United States Copyright Law. After the manuscript is accepted, authors will be instantly led to the eCF (electronic Copyright Form).
3) IEEE Plagiarism Policy
It includes THREE (3) statement that deals with multiple submissions or publications of the same work; plagiarism; and electronic posting of papers on author websites. Authors are responsible for understanding, complying with these policies, and acknowledging them when submitting. Failure to comply with these policies may lead to penalties for future publication in IEEE venues.
4) Article Processing Charges Waiver Policy
Open access APCs are waived or lowered for corresponding authors from low-income countries.
