Copyright and access
All accepted articles will be published under open access. All open access articles will be published under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). CC BY allows authors to retain copyright of their article and permits a very broad range of reuse. An article published under the CC BY license is freely available online and may be freely reused as long as the original author and publication are credited. Under the CC BY license, authors are responsible for protecting their content from possible abuses such as infringement and plagiarism.
Archive
The publisher is committed to the permanent availability and preservation of the published content in CJEE.
Ownership and management
CJEE is sponsored by China Machinery Industry Information Institute (China Machine Press).
Funding
The publication costs for Chinese Journal of Electrical Engineering (CJEE) are covered by the sponsor, so authors do not need to pay an article-processing charge.
Authorship
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, experimental design, execution, and/or the analysis and interpretation of data associated with the work contained in the article, and contributed to drafting the article or reviewing and/or revising it for intellectual content. The others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, should be acknowledged or listed as authors. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all listed authors have seen and approved the final version of manuscript before submission, including the names and order of authors, and have agreed to its submission for publication. Once the list and order of authors has been established, it should not be altered without permission of all living authors of that article. Due to a result of special circumstances, if it is necessary to change, the corresponding author should put forward a written application including the consent of all authors before the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) makes final decision for the paper. It can be modified after EIC approval. Please note that changes to authorship cannot be made after acceptance of a manuscript.
Punitive measure
1. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. And that is highly likely to have serious moral and legal consequences.
2. After screened, if the paper is found there are more than 30% similar to the previous published journal article or more than 50% similar to the authors’ own paper published in conference proceedings, the paper will be regarded as plagiarism and will be rejected.
3. In case an author has submitted the paper under consideration to another journal, the paper will be rejected. CJEE will inform the institute of the author and other journals within the field of Electrical Engineering, and will reject to publish all the papers submitted by this author forever.
Conflicts of Interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest which should be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest stage possible.
Corrections and Retractions
Authors, readers or organizations who become aware of errors or ethics issues in a published article are encouraged to contact CJEE in the first instance via the contact details available on the journal website. All reports will be considered by the Editors; additional expert advice may be sought when deciding on the most appropriate course of action.
1. Corrections
Changes to published articles that affect the interpretation and conclusion of the article, but do not fully invalidate the article, will, at the Editor(s)’ discretion, be corrected via publication of a Correction that is indexed and bidirectionally linked to the original article.
2. Retractions
On rare occasions, when the interpretation or conclusion of an article is substantially undermined, it may be necessary for published articles to be retracted. CJEE as part of IEEE will follow the COPE guidelines in such cases. Retraction notices are indexed and bidirectionally linked to the original article. The original article is watermarked as retracted and the title is amended with the prefix “Retracted article:”
Confidentiality
Editors will treat all manuscripts submitted to CJEE in confidence. Reviewers are also required to treat manuscripts confidentially. CJEE will not share manuscripts with third parties outside of CJEE except in cases of suspected misconduct.
Peer review process
All manuscripts accepted by CJEE would undergo rigorous and thorough single-blind peer review. This usually involves review by two independent peer reviewers.
All submissions to CJEE are assessed by an Editor, who will decide whether they are suitable for peer review. Where an Editor is on the author list or has any other competing interest regarding a specific manuscript, another member of the Editorial Board will be assigned to assume responsibility for overseeing peer review. Submissions felt to be suitable for consideration will be sent for peer review by appropriate independent experts. Editors will make a decision based on the reviewers’ reports and authors are sent these reports along with the editorial decision on their manuscript. Authors should note that even in light of one positive report, concerns raised by another reviewer may fundamentally undermine the study and result in the manuscript being rejected.
All papers submitted to CJEE will be screened for plagiarism by CrossCheck software.
Peer review is a system based on trust. Each party—the reviewer, the author, and CJEE—relies on the others to operate professionally, ethically, expediently, and confidentially.
1. Responsibilities of the Reviewer
2. Responsibilities of the Author
3. Responsibilities of CJEE
Any questions from authors or reviewers about the peer review process should be directed to the Editor.
