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:  Must have a Ph.D. in a relevant 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 cannot be on the advising committee of the author if the author is a student. 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.
