Manuscript Review
Each manuscript is initially evaluated by the journal Editor-in-Chief and then assigned to an Associate Editor who provides an additional evaluation of the manuscript and assigns the paper to two or more reviewers in the field for confidential review. The review process is designed both to encourage the reviewer’s objectivity and to ensure the thoroughness of his or her evaluation. Technical content, importance to the field, style and clarity, including mastery of the language, and completeness of the manuscript all are rated by the reviewer. The reviewer is asked also for advice concerning the specific merits and/or deficiencies of the manuscript. However, the decision to publish, to require revision before publication, or to reject for reasons cited lies first with the Associate Editor and ultimately with the Editor-in-Chief. It may take 02 weeks after receipt of the manuscript to accomplish the manuscript evaluation and review and any subsequent revisions requested of the author.
Acceptance and Publication
Accepted articles are edited to ensure the journal format and style, and page proofs are returned to corresponding authors for input and approval. Authors should respond to queries and carefully proofread their proofs to catch inadvertent errors and to ensure that all equations are displaying correctly. Once the feedback of authors is incorporated, articles are prepared for online publication. Articles are also scheduled for publication in forthcoming numbered issues. Depending upon the number of articles awaiting publication in an issue and the projected size of issues, this may require that articles be scheduled several issues ahead. When feasible, articles will be published in the order of their original receipt.
Electronic complimentary copies of published articles are available to authors upon publication. You will receive an automatic email from Power System Technology (PST) granting access once your article is published online.
