Submission Guideline

2.      Do not mind the “untrusted connection” warning message in your browser.

3.      If you do not have an account with JEMS, you have to create one.

4.      When you submit your paper online, take a minute to select APNOMS topics which are closest to the contents of your paper. You are encouraged to select topics when applicable. This will help us to provide good quality reviews to your paper.

5.      When you initially register your technical paper in JEMS, make sure that the list of authors and the paper title are correctly registered in the JEMS registration page, which are identical with them in the uploaded PDF file. In other words, all authors must be listed in JEMS at registration stage in correct order, and they should not be modified at paper uploading and final camera-ready. If your paper submission fails to comply with this policy, your paper may be withdrawn from the review process.

6.      In case of possible violations of the IEEE ethics rules in publishing, the case will be investigated by Technical Program committee that reports to the IEEE Publications.
