Hello everyone, please suggest some good quality and free journal with very short response time for antenna related research? Journal should be SCOPUS or SCI indexed. Thanks.
IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagations (SCI) and IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (SCIE) These two journals take around 2-3 months.
Thanks Amrit for asking this as not only you but several other research scholars (including me) are bit confused about the journal selection. Thanks Sudipta Sir for the clarification as I also asked the same question from you personally.
Dear Gaurav, Thanks for your kind reply. SCIE and SCI both are same, as per my knowledge goes. The difference is due to storage process. SCI is stored in CD/DVD format whereas SCIE is stored in online. All are Internationally well accepted.
IEEE Access is also a very good sci journal which gives decision within 1-2 months. It has impact factor of 3.557 and also review of the journal is very rigorous. It gives constructive criticism in vivid manner. But it has binary decision like IET electronic letters
Some times you need confidence to do more in the relevant field and this is possible when someone receives comments on the research work in some specified time. But still thank you Denis Jaisson
(Is the social status of authorship more important to you, than the technical value of your manuscript? ).. No.. It is only about technical value. But sometimes awareness about review process also play a significant role in the future research work. Thank you once again
The answer is quite similar, letter by letter except point 2. Even, you forget to chnage the serial number. Copy and paste is not a good sign in research.
According to my post (Oct 27, 2017),
1. PIER (Scopus indexed, not SCI, within 1.5 - 2 months)
2. IET Electronics Letter (SCI, less than 1.5 month)
3. AEUE short paper (SCI, within 1.5 month)
4. MOTL (SCI, 3 - 3.5 months on avg)
We would like to know more free journals, instead of repeating others answer.
You can go for MOTL(microwave and optical Technology Letters) or Frequenz. Both are SCI indexed journals which publish quality Antenna research and response time is quite less.
