Overview
The IEEE Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering is committed to the timely publication of high-quality papers that advance the state of the art in Electrical and Computer Engineering research. The journal publishes theoretical research presenting new techniques, concepts, or analyses and applied contributions reporting on experiences and experiments with actual systems.
Policies on Plagiarism
Submission of previously published work or works under review at a different journal is strictly forbidden and could attract severe penalties.This is the act of double submission and a serious departure from honesty under IEEE plagiarism guidelines followed by the IEEE CJECE editorial board. Papers that have been previously published fully or in part in another journal or book will not be considered for publication in IEEE CJECE.
In case a submission contains material which has been previously published in any form, Authors must include specific information identifying such prior publication(s) together with a link to the publication(s), as well as a brief explanation of the differences between the prior publication(s) and the present submission. The IEEE guidelines state that it is not uncommon in technical publishing for material to be presented at various stages of its evolution. For instance, new ideas can be published in a workshop, more developed work can go in a conference proceeding, and a fully developed contribution can take the form of a journal or transactions paper. This publication process is an important means of scientific communication. However, it is required that this evolutionary process is fully referenced by the author(s).
A similarity threshold of at most 25% is the current accepted standard for the journal.
Paper Categories
The minimum number of pages for IEEE CJECE articles are 8 pages throughout the initial submission and revision process. The following categories of papers are accepted for publication based on the Journal's scope:
- Papers presenting new and original results, techniques or concepts.
- Survey-style papers providing a rigorous analysis of existing results.
Peer Review
The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual. Each published article is reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-anonymous peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.
Copyright Information
The IEEE CJECE requires a filled and signed copy of the IEEE Copyright Form when a manuscript is uploaded for submission. Authors will automatically be redirected to the eCF (electronic Copyright Form) after they have submitted the final files. The eCF makes signing a publishing agreement easy. The form will determine which agreement meets the authors’ needs, and enables an author to complete it on-screen. This is consistent with the IEEE policy.
Submission Charges and Payment
The ICJECE financial administrator will email the corresponding author and co-authors a processing fee invoice upon manuscript publication acceptance. ICJECE publication processing fees are the mandatory page charges: 100 CAD per page for up to 8 pages, and an additional 150 CAD per page for extra pages. The processing fee payment is required before publication. Payments should be submitted using PayPal in Canadian Dollars (CAD). Other methods of payment are available by request at time of invoicing.
If authors wish to have open access for their paper, the open access pricing can be found at https://open.ieee.org/for-authors/article-processing-charges/.
Publication Language
IEEE CJECE accepts submissions in both English and French Languages. Authors are advised to submit manuscripts written in plain and clear language.
