[AISWorld] Invitation for publications in SAIEE Journal

[Alta van der Merwe]

We hereby want to invite you to submit your research papers in Computer Science, Information Systems and Software Engineering to the SAIEE journal. This journal publishes research, survey and expository contributions in the field of electrical, electronic, computer, information and communications engineering. Articles may be of a theoretical or applied nature, must be novel and must not have been published elsewhere. 

Of particular interest to the Computing community is the track, Computer, Information Systems and Software Engineering. For other research tracks see http://www.saiee.org.za/publications/tracks.htm

All contributions are reviewed with the aid of appropriate reviewers. A slightly simplified review procedure is used in the case of Research and Development Notes, to minimise publications delays. No maximum length for a paper is prescribed. However, authors should keep in mind that a significant factor in the review of the manuscript will be its length relative to its content and clarity of writing. Membership of the SAIEE is not required.

For your convenience we have included some notes on the process for initial submissions below. 

Regards,

Prof Etienne Barnard, Specialist Editor Computer Science

Prof Barry Dwolatzky, Specialist Editor Software Engineering

Prof Alta van der Merwe, Specialist Editor: Information Systems

      Each submission will be assigned to a Specialist Editor. The Specialist Editor will co-ordinate the peer review process.

      With a paper submission, authors are requested to indicate the applicable research track and suggest at least one reviewer. Also, provide a contact e-mail address and institute of affiliation (if not obvious from the e-mail address) for the suggested reviewer. The suggested reviewer may not be from the same institute(s) as the author(s). The Specialist Editor assigned may or may not use the suggested reviewer.

      These submissions will be used in the review process. 

      Receipt will be acknowledged by the office of the Editor-in-Chief and subsequently by the assigned Specialist Editor, who will further handle the paper and all correspondence pertaining to it. Once accepted for publication, you will be notified of acceptance and of any alterations necessary. You will then be requested to prepare and submit the final script.

       The initial paper should be structured as follows:

      1.     TITLE in capitals, not underlined.
      2.     Author name(s): First name(s) or initials, surname (without academic title or preposition by)
      3.     Abstract, in single spacing, not exceeding 20 lines.
      4.     Use the template - MS-Word (~50 kB) or guidelines (PDF) (~40 kB) or TeX (~714 kB)
      5.     List of References (references to published literature should be cited in the text using Arabian numerals in square brackets and arranged in numerical order in the List of References).
      6.     Author(s) affiliation, postal address(es) and e-mail address.
      7.     PDF format files should be "press optimised" and include all embedded fonts, diagrams etc.
      8.     All diagrams to be in black and white (not colour)    Graphics: Quality Checker
      9.     Footnotes, if unavoidable, should be typed in single spacing.
      Format of the final manuscript

      The final manuscript will be produced in a "direct to plate" process. 

      The final manuscript must be prepared meticulously in line with the style-sheets provided above and all images must be at least 300 dpi. Should this not be the case, the publication of your paper will be delayed.

      The assigned Specialist Editor will provide you with instructions for preparation of the final manuscript and required format, to be submitted directly to:
             The Managing Editor
             SAIEE Africa Research Journal 
             P O Box 751253, Gardenview, 2047, South Africa.
             E-mail: researchjournal at saiee.org.za

      Page charges

      A page charge of ZAR 200 per page will be charged to offset some of the expenses incurred in publishing the work. Detailed instructions will be sent to you once your manuscript has been accepted for publication.
