Dear Esteemated Professor Kolp,
It is to inform you that our peer-reviewed journal entitled "Advances in Computer Science and Engineering" will be published as Open-Access journal with effect from April 18, 2018.
In this light, it is our pleasure to request you to consider submitting an original research paper / a critical survey article on a topic of your interest for possible publication in our peer reviewed journal "Advances in Computer Science and
Engineering" bearing ISSN: 0973-6999.
AIMS and SCOPE: The Advances in Computer Science and Engineering is a peer-reviewed journal which considers publication of original research papers in all aspects of computer science both theoretical and experimental in
nature extending support to different areas of current interest in engineering, technology, industries, and business. Besides covering basic issues in every branch of computer science, electronics and engineering such as
modeling and simulation, artificial intelligence, image processing, data base and data mining, software engineering, hardware systems and bioinformatics, the journal considers frontier issues in soft computing, grid and
scalable computing, web and internet computing, digital signal processing, GIS, cryptography and their applications.
The journal encourages publication of survey articles devoted to recent development in any area of computer science and engineering together with teaching and research methodologies. Being aware with ever-expansion of the
subject, the journal remains open for upcoming newer topics.
FREQUENCY: The journal is published in a volume annually (An article after acceptance and complete formalities of publication will be put online immediately).
SUBMISSION MODE:
1. Online submission (.pdf and .doc files): http://www.pphmj.com/journals/acse.htm
2. Through e-mail (any format): acse@pphmj.com and kkazad@pphmj.com
ARTICLE PROCESSING CHARGES (APC):
An open-access journal provides wide range of accessibility to published articles and thus is beneficial to the contributors. However, on account of no subscriptions, etc., the journal suffers financially. To meet the publication standard,
peer-review is necessary which requires a lot of correspondences. Also, proper composing and proof-reading costs are to be met. Maintenance of an efficient office is to be afforded.
Therefore, we have the article processing charge (APC) for an accepted paper. The APC for a paper not exceeding 20 pages is US$ 450, and in case this limit exceeds US$ 15 per page is charged, in addition. For authors in India this
charge is INR 4000.00 per paper not exceeding 20 pages, beyond this limit INR 300 per page is charged, in addition.
We shall be grateful if you encourage us by submitting your valuable article(s) and also promote our journal amongst your colleagues and fellow-workers.
Expecting to have a favourable response and with kind regards,
Yours sincerely
Arun Azad
