VIII.PUBLICATION PRINCIPLES watermarking for images,” IEEE Trans. Image Process., vol.
10, no. 5, pp. 767-782, May 2001.
The contents of the journal are peer-reviewed and
archival. The journal INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF
ENGINEERING AND INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
(IJEIT) publishes scholarly articles of archival value as
well as tutorial expositions and critical reviews of classical
subjects and topics of current interest.
Authors should consider the following points:
1) Technical papers submitted for publication must
advance the state of knowledge and must cite relevant
prior work.
2) The length of a submitted paper should be
commensurate with the importance, or appropriate to
the complexity, of the work. For example, an obvious
extension of previously published work might not be
appropriate for publication or might be adequately
treated in just a few pages.
3) Authors must convince both peer reviewers and the
editors of the scientific and technical merit of a paper;
the standards of proof are higher when extraordinary or
unexpected results are reported.
4) Because replication is required for scientific progress,
papers submitted for publication must provide
sufficient information to allow readers to perform
similar experiments or calculations and use the
reported results. Although not everything need be
disclosed, a paper must contain new, useable, and fully
described information. For example, a specimen's
chemical composition need not be reported if the main
purpose of a paper is to introduce a new measurement
technique. Authors should expect to be challenged by
reviewers if the results are not supported by adequate
data and critical details.
IX. CONCLUSION
A conclusion section is not required. Although a
conclusion may review the main points of the paper, do not
replicate the abstract as the conclusion. A conclusion might
elaborate on the importance of the work or suggest
applications and extensions.
