Refereeing

After successful submission, each manuscript will be visible to the general public but can only be refereed by qualified persons.

The scientific community will review and score articles in 3 categories:

   Intellectual Merit
   Broader Impacts
   Critical Quality.

Referees give articles a score ranging from 1~5 in each of these categories, 5 being the highest. There are two levels of Referees:

   Level-1 Referees:  Must have a B.S. in a relevant technical discipline.
   Level-2 Referees:  Typically have a Ph.D. in a relevant technical field or research publications.

Level-1 referees can only score the Critical Quality category. Level-2 Referees, however, can score all 3 categories. Manuscripts can be rejected by Level-1 or Level-2 referees but can only be accepted by Level-2 referees. Anyone can author and view papers.

Referees who truly want to be helpful will give a very thorough review during the Review Period in order to ensure the quality of the journal and in order to spare the author potential subsequent criticism. The only payment that potential referees might expect is that the author may return the favor at some future time, by offering an equally thorough review of their work.
