The papers cannot be identical, and the journal paper should be justified by a clearly identifiable benefit that its publication offers to the research community beyond the already published conference paper. However, authors are required to cite their related prior work, either in the introduction or in a footnote. It is acceptable for conference papers to be used as the basis for a more fully developed journal publication. For English language help, IEEE recommends the following service for authors: American Journal Experts (Authors can view the IEEE Author Center ' Refining the Use of English in Your Article' for more information. The IEEE does not provide editorial services for correcting grammatical errors, but we can point authors to services that they can make use of at their own expense. In assessing appropriateness, you should consider the scope of the journal, completeness of the technical work, and quality of the writing.In such cases, the journal submission should include some new elements, such as expanded theoretical discussion, algorithm refinements, more extensive experiments, and/or new results analysis. In assessing novelty, you should be aware that it is acceptable for authors to submit expanded versions of their work that has been previously published in a conference paper, but that the prior work must be cited and the extensions clearly explained in the body of the paper.There are two criteria necessary for a recommendation of acceptance for publication: NOVELTY (new or innovative methods or approaches to a problem of engineering, science, or mathematics) and APPROPRIATENESS (a complete, well-written manuscript that falls within the scope of the transactions to which it was submitted).

However, you must ensure that there is no identifying information in the properties of any documents that you upload. Signal Processing Society operates on a “single-blind” reviewing system, in which the identity of every reviewer is carefully protected. Associate Editors cannot enter the reviews for you. Please utilize the ScholarOne Manuscripts system to submit your review. Please refer to the manuscript ID number in all correspondence with the Associate Editor or the Signal Processing Society Publications Office. Questions about accessing ScholarOne Manuscripts should be directed to the journal’s coordinator. Reminders will be sent from the Publications Office in pursuit of these deadlines.Īny questions you may have about this manuscript or the review process should be directed to the Associate Editor. Please note, the peer review cycle for Signal Processing Letters is three weeks. (NOTE: if you are reviewing a paper in Transactions on Computational Imaging, you are asked to complete your review in four weeks.) For the review of revised manuscripts, reviewers are asked to complete their reviews within three weeks. Per your agreement with the Associate Editor, you are asked to complete the review within six weeks of receipt of the manuscript.
