UPDATED MESSEGE WITH A NEW DEADLINE
Your Revision in the International Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed
Systems
My name is Madjid Tavana and I am the new Editor-in-Chief for the International
Journal of Communication Networks and Distributed Systems (IJCNDS). You have
been recently advised by the editorial staff of IJCNDS to revise your
manuscript. Here are a few VERY IMPORTANT requirements:
1. You were asked to include a set of specific references in your revised
manuscript. Please DISREGARD those specific references. That said, IJCNDS is a
scholarly academic journal and the currency of your literature review is
extremely important. I will be imposing the criterion of CURRENCY very
rigorously. To this end, your revised manuscript MUST include at least 25
relevant references published in academic journals dated 2015 to present. A
typical academic paper should have around 35-45 references. You MAY also want
to look at the previously published papers in IJCNDS to strongly couple your
paper with the RELEVANT existing works published in our Journal.
2. Please carefully proofread your paper and eliminate language errors
involving spelling, grammar, punctuation, format, and style. Papers with
readability problem will be rejected immediately.
3. Your revised manuscript is due by March 31, 2018. This is a hard deadline
and your revision submitted after this deadline will be handled as a new
submission.
4. Please include a short report in the beginning of your revised manuscript
(without your name) describing what is changed in your revision. All changes,
including your new references in the body of the paper and in your Reference
List, must be highlighted in yellow.
You MUST also carefully pay attention to the following NEW requirements:
TITLE: as concise as possible, avoid abbreviations and acronyms, Maximum 18
words.
ABSTRACT: approximately 100 words in one paragraph, maximum 150 words.
KEYWORDS: approximately 6-7 words or short phrases, maximum 10 words.
ACRONYMS: acronym overuse reduce readability. Introduce acronyms once in the
abstract of your article and then again upon the first use in the body of the
article.
Please follow these guidelines so your manuscript is not sent back. My goals
are efficiency and expediency. I look forward to receiving your revision by
March 31, 2018.
NOTES:
- In general we expect to receive your revised manuscript within three months
or by the revision deadline established by the editor. Please contact the
editor if you will take more than three months to resubmit your revised
manuscript.
- It is the publisher's policy to give authors the opportunity to revise and
improve their submitted papers to be accepted for publication, as requested by
the referees. Please note that all the revisions, editing and English
correction requested have to be made and accepted by the referees otherwise the
paper will be rejected at any stage of the refereeing process.
Your prompt attention is much appreciated.
