You can submit your article in any journal. The journal manager or editor will either send it for review or reject it considering your articles scope and journals scope. Journals in life science will not accept engineering research article. Apart from scope matching, authors might be interested to get maximum citation from their publication. How will you know that, this journal will give you maximum citations in next couple of years? Here goes my pick on journal selection criteria:
1. Scope: check scope of the journal before submitting. If it is a multidisciplinary journal and you are confused about its scope whether it covers your subject area, send an enquiry to check with the journal editor. 


2. Impact factor: Among hundreds of journal in your subject area, there are prestigious high impact journals promising you maximum citation as these journals has higher visibility then low impact journals. Thanks to google scholar, the visibility issue does not play much important role now-a-days. However, Publication in high impact journal boosts researchers’ confidence and it helps in getting scholarships, job, research funding as well as reputation as a researcher. So, aim for the highest impact journal where you can get your article accepted for publication.

3. Review lead time: Selecting a first track journal is important for PhD/masters students as they need articles published during their candidature. Some journal takes nearly years to give a decision from reviewers. Journals publishing six (6) or more issue per year will review articles quickly than quarterly journals.

4. Acceptance rate: Do not get upset by low acceptance rate of a journal. There are tonnes of article submitted in reputed journals and they reject 80% of them. But most rejections are based on mismatch of subject area and bad formatting of articles. However, low acceptance rate journals might take longer lead time to review as there is a long queue. So take it as an important selection criterion while choosing a journal.

5. Regional & society Journals: Research topics focused on a regional issues, like geography of Southeast Asia, or Europe should be published in journals published from those regions. Many professional societies publish journals regularly. Some of these societies are highly reputed in their subject area. Young scientists have a tendency to avoid such journals and focus more on renowned publishers only. But interested authors must anticipate tough peer reviewing.

Some important tools for selecting journal:
1. Elsevier Journal Finder: Not a top-notch search engine yet. Still in developing stage.
2. ISI Journal citation report
3. Journalseek


Publication.Easy is offering Journal Finder service. We consider clients need and articles quality to select most suitable journal for quick publication considering all the above mentioned criteria. So, check with us before underestimating or overestimating your article. Treat yourself better!


Happy publishing!
Most researchers are eager to submit their paper immediately after finishing the write up. Being too excited to get the paper published leads to some common mistakes. After finishing write up and enough revisions, take a break. Celebrate the occasion.




1. Check scope: Give some extra time in finding your suitable journal. If you are not completely convinced by the aim and scope of the journal (in most cases, multidisciplinary journals are confusing), better ask the journal editor/manager to check whether that journal is suitable for your  article. Send them your title and keywords. Wait for a day for response. Its always a good practice to check before submitting.

2. Take some time off: Journal article submission is not like sending email. Take your time to register and provide all necessary info. Some journal asks for highlights. Most authors do not write highlights in manuscript preparations. They just types it in haste to submit it quickly. Give some time to write highlights and cover letters to editor. Check all figure files before submitting. 

3. Author list: It is vital for all postgrads. Do not submit a paper without consulting your supervisors. If he/she is too busy to read it all(in most cases they are), at least take instructions about author-list. Order of supervisors in author-list could be vital. Some mean supervisor can get offended by your author-list. Its better to avoid unwanted complications with supervisors. Another important issue is corresponding author. Try to get corresponding authorship. Getting your name in first position of author-list can add value in job  and scholarship applications.

Happy publishing!

IEEE conference proceedings and journal articles cover a substantial research works in the area of electrical and computer engineering. From IEEE sponsored international conferences to IEEE transaction journals, our bona-fide reviewers have long time experience in reviewing and preparing #IEEE based research manuscripts. Our reviewers are from diverse background such as#electrical #engineering , computer engineering,  #computer science, and #biomedical engineering. Even after having excellent research aptitudes, many authors have hard time in articulating their hypotheses, contributions, and arguments in literature. While plagiarism itself is a blatant academic offense, the concept of self-plagiarism is often ignored. Self-plagiarism often conceals the authors’ novel contribution which may result in a rejection or even a conviction of plagiarising own work. Therefore, a researcher may have concern about his own sentences, terminologies, and style of writing which continue to repeat over the time as he/she tries to avoid self-plagiarism. This often happens inadvertently for those who are contributing over their existing works on regular basis. A revision through an expert eye can reformat the articles to lessen the percentage of self-similarity or self-plagiarism.


Publication.EASY also review for plagiarism upon request and amend the writing style up to a certain range. All you have to do is confidently claim the novelty or contribution of your work without copying anything that already exists in literature.  We can shape your ideas and results through proper scientific language and IEEE format. Our reviewers cum editors are also adept in Latex based editing as well as word to #Latex , Latex to word, PDF to word conversions. We also check if your final manuscript is compliant with IEEE format as well as make necessary amendments which include changing figure quality, size, page margins, and so on.

End of the day, you have to produce a thesis. Not end of this month, not year, end of the day. I meant DAY. Yes, write it. Start writing your thesis. No matter what stage of research you are currently in. Start it now, change it later. If you have something, you will have something to change yesterday. 

 How to start your thesis writing?

1. Isolate yourself from internet and distractions. 


2. Plan a thesis title for your area of research. You can start by downloading some thesis in your field.

3. Make some subtitles according to aim/objectives.

4. Start building argument.



5. If you do not have argument, keep noting down key points of most important relevant journal/conference articles you have gone through.

6. DO it everyday.
Happy writing!

Reviewers are hard, cruel and adamant academicians. So, do not fall into the trap of winning an argument with reviewers. It is just WRONG approach. 
  1. Be humble, be polite in reasoning. 
  2. Thank them for their valuable comments(which may not improve your publication quality but at least it will get it published . 
  3. Try your best to address all issues in response list. 
  4. In case of journals, you will find one out of every three reviewers highly skeptical about your work. So, do not get upset. Make necessary changes and reply politely. 
  5. Replying reviewers comment is a better choice than resubmitting in another journal. Resubmitting kills time.

Thesis reviewers or examiners makes up weird questions and comments to freak out postgraduates at the end of long struggle in PhD life. Thesis comments are most disturbing as students find those as only barrier to graduate.

Here is a story for you:

A typical PhD thesis received a comment from reviewer and the student emailed us in publication.easy@gmail.com

The reviewer said "You do not have enough theory in it, get some more". Its a major revision. We have faced this question so many times from so many postgrads that, it became a FAQ for our expert panel. A thesis is not like a petrol tank – you can’t just ‘top it up’ with some missing ingredient. What you should do to avoid such problems:

1. Check your thesis with your supervisor. In most cases supervisors takes a hands-off approach and does not read it all as they have busy schedule. But if your supervisor is a caring one: you will get best advice with some solution from him. Feel lucky!

2. Unlucky fellows (who don't have a caring supervisor who likes to spoon-feed students) should send their thesis chapter by chapter to experts of relevant field. Our expert panel can do it.(This is real advertisement :).

3. Do not treat your data as theory. Do not import some other literature data and treat it as theory.
4. Tailor your theory for your data set so that it covers your case results.

5. Get rid of loose statements. Do not try to define things loosely. Use appropriate words to generalize the special case you are focusing and where the theory works/matches with your result.


Finally, present it well. Good presentation in thesis can ease your way to success. Best of luck.

for any kind of academic support (thesis/journal article/research proposal).

Literature review is first step of every young researcher and an essential task for writing a research proposal. It is to know the state of art of the topic. There is no shortcut in literature review. One has to read a lot and search time to time. Extend of reading depends on which topic you chose to review. It could be hundreds of articles or some dozens, if it’s a new area and not much published articles is available.

Why should you do literature review?:
 a. You can publish review paper.
b. Review papers are highly cited.
c. Completing a chapter of thesis.
d. To knows state of art.
e. Finding research gap and planning further research.

Three simple rules:

1. Search: Search is the main work for starting any work. Search for basics of that area, by another review paper or book to know the state of art.Search engines: google scholar, Google patents, books, papers , sciencedirect.com, scopus.com, and thesis. Effective searching and gathering information is very important to get a complete picture of your research area. While reading a paper, you can search the important references. Read through the abstract, conclusion, methodology and download it. Another important thing is arranging and keeping files in searchable media. Rename files properly. Keep in folders with similar papers. You can use google desktop to search within the folders once you have more than hundred papers (in that case you need to put the folders in your desktop).

2. Compile: Once you have downloaded many files and read a lot, you will start forgetting. So, start writing as well. Keep writing the main points of every paper (methodology, sample name, key points in conclusion etc). Use EndNote software for keeping references.

3. Critical review: This is the most important and crucial part. If you read a lot and write a lot---that does not make a review paper publish-worthy. You have to critically review it. This is a work of an expert. But being an amateur, one can try with following simple steps


3a. Use new figures, tables. Blend figures from different sources to make a brand new representation. Make new figures from long prosy paragraphs. Like a classifications of many segmentation can easily be put in colorful figures using smart art in MS Word. (Examples).

3b. Similarly, tables can be good source of getting numerous citations. Tables with similar results or, summary of many types of methodology can be managed in a table with corresponding references.

3c. Find shortcomings of other research works. Find bold statements which are not properly backed by experimental results. Find contradictory results and reasons for such contradictions. But be very tactful and courteous in making this kind of statements.

Idea Mapping

Scope: After reading a lot, you might get an idea of whole research area with many different research approaches and sub-sectors. Now, narrow down the area and define scope of your article. Like, you may have gone through many articles on solar energy. But your article should be on a specific type solar cell/solar energy technology.

Outline: After defining scope of your article, please try to write the outline of your article. It could be changed later. But you must have an outline first so that anything that you read can be feed inside the skeleton of your article. Outlined points should have a flow which will also help to keep coherence of narration.

Selection of Figure and table: Review papers should not just cite table/figures from other articles. A review paper will get more citation if it contains some important figures or tables of its own which gives readers a brief overview of the subject.

 If you have a thesis and you want to publish the literature review chapter as a paper, your first emphasis should be on updating the text with some recent articles and managing the references. Then you should look for a journal that is interested to publish review articles. Not all journals are interested in this type of article which does not have any research finding or results. So, author must check with that scope of the journal before submitting any review article. There are some journals which publish review articles only.

Review articles are long articles. It requires more time to process and format for submission than usual original research article. So, keep patience and keep going. Happy Publishing!
