Impact Factor 5.4
In order to expedite review process, reviewers are asked to complete the review within three weeks of receipt of the manuscript. Reminders of deadlines will be sent to the reviewers from the Publications Office in pursuit of this deadline.
For a recommendation of acceptance for publication, the following two criteria are necessary: ORIGINALITY (innovation or novelty) and PRESENTATION (a well written manuscript within the scope of ICT Express). Reviewers are asked to evaluate both the quality of the technical contribution and the quality of the presentation. In addition, the manuscript must be new and previously unpublished with interesting contributions to ICT convergence. Given that ICT Express focuses mainly on ICT convergence and its applications, manuscripts do not necessarily include lots of mathematics to imply that the problems under consideration are worth solving. It is rather important for reviewers to evaluate the manuscripts whether the contributions are interesting and potentially relevant to a fundamental problem/question in convergence of information and communication technology or some related application domains.
Accept - An accept decision means that an editor is accepting the paper with no further modifications. The paper will not be seen again by the editor or by the reviewers.
Reject - The manuscript is not suitable for the ICT Express publication.
Revisions - The acceptance of the manuscript would depend on the revisions. The author needs to provide a point by point response or provide a rebuttal if some of the reviewer’s comments cannot be revised. only one round of major revisions is allowed. Authors will be asked to resubmit the revised paper within 14 days and the revised version will be returned to the reviewer for further comments.
Accept - The paper is accepted without any further changes.
Reject - The article has serious flaws, makes no original contribution, and the paper is rejected with no offer of resubmission to the journal. Note that decision revise is not allowed to any manuscripts other than the original version.
