Aim The Journal of the Chinese Institute of Engineers (JCIE) is devoted to publishing articles in all aspects of engineering and related fields in applied sciences, ranging from fundamental principles to practical applications. A platform for the timely dissemination of original engineering researches and emerging technologies, the findings and ideas published in this journal are considered to have significant enduring value in the field. JCIE is published eight times a year in January, March, April, June, July, September, October and December, to ensure effective distribution of research results. For years, the journal has brought its readers the latest in technology trends, by the very creators and innovators of these technologies. JCIE has been recognized as one of the leading international journals in its field. Because of our dedication to constant improvement, we aim to extend our reach by establishing relationships with prestigious authors via international conferences, and inviting them to publish with us. To facilitate references of related topics, we also prepare special sections or issues compiled of accepted technical papers, to highlight a particular technology of interest. Scope Encompassing a wide range of engineering disciplines and industrial applications, JCIE includes the following topics: 1. Chemical engineering 2. Civil engineering 3. Computer engineering 4. Electrical engineering 5. Electronics 6. Mechanical engineering and fields related to the above. Peer Review Process As soon as the Editorial Office receives a submitted manuscript, the Editorial office will forward the manuscript to an appropriate Subject Editor based on the paper content and initiate the review process. The Subject Editor examines the submitted paper to determine whether it falls within the scope of JCIE. If it does, the Subject Editor selects a panel of referees to perform the paper's review. Referees are normally asked to respond within four weeks. If they are late, reminders are sent. If the Subject Editor does not receive a timely response from the referee, the manuscript is then sent to an alternative referee. The Subject Editor then evaluates reviews when they come in. If a review is deemed lacking in critical quality (i.e. the technical and scientific strengths or shortcomings of the work have not been adequately addressed), then an additional review is sought. Copies of the reviews (at least two) are referred to the Subject Editor who examines all materials and decides on a course of action. The decision is also checked by the Executive Editor and is then conveyed to the author by the Editorial Office. A ScholarOne Manuscripts™ online submission site is being built for this journal and will go live in 2011.
