Journal of Communications and Information
Networks
Journal of Communications and Information Networks (JCIN) aims to foster dissemination of the novel revolutionary technologies and to trace the continued developing research areas covering both conventional subjects and inter-disciplines. Authentic articles in various directions of communications and information networks, scientific commentaries involving the emerging research issues are welcome.
The general scope ranges from theoretical contributions to practical implementation, and includes,but is not limited to the following: broadband wireless communications, optical communications,satellite communications, high altitude platform communications, software defined radio,cognitive radio networks, mobile Ad hoc networks, software defined networks, multimedia communications, Internet of things, cyber security, network management.
The manuscript is suggested to be no more than 15 pages. Full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
Manuscripts submitted to JCIN should neither be published previously nor be under consideration for publication in another journal. The main article types are as follows.
Original Articles (including references, notes, captions and appendix, the same as below) are expected to present original and new advance on the emerging fields of communications and information networks. Original articles include an abstract of about 200 words, 3-8 key words (the same as below), an introduction, sections with brief subheadings, conclusion, and up to 60 references. Additional supplemental material is permitted as appendix in the end of the article.
Reviews should describe and synthesize recent developments of communications and information networks of significance and highlight future directions. A review should include an abstract, an introduction that outlines the main theme, brief subheadings, an outline of important unresolved questions, and up to 100 references.
Authors must use the JCIN LaTex Template to prepare their manuscript. Using the template file will substantially shorten the time to complete copy-editing and publication of accepted manuscripts.
Title
Concise and informative.
Authors
Authors’ full first and last names must be provided. One author should be designated as the corresponding author and should be marked with superscript asterisk (*). All authors’ email addresses should be included and placed in the footnote of the front page.
Affiliations
Affiliations of all authors should be provided. Each affiliation should include complete address information including city, zip code, state/province, and country (e.g., University of New South Wales, Sydney NSW 2052, Australia; Peking University, Beijing 100871, China). The affiliations should be placed in the footnote of the front page.
Abstract
Abstract (150-250 words) must be a concise yet comprehensive reflection of what is in your article. It should start with some brief background information: one or two sentences giving a broad introduction to the field comprehensible to the general reader, and then a brief summary of more detailed background information specific to your study. This should be followed by an explanation of the objectives/methods and then the results. The final sentence should outline the main conclusions of the study, in terms that will be comprehensible to all of our readers.
In particular, the abstract must be self-contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. It should be a microcosm of the full article. The abstract must be written as one paragraph, and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material. Ensure that your abstract reads well and is grammatically correct.
Keywords
3-8 words/phrases. We recommend that the keywords are specific to the article, yet reasonably common within the subject discipline.
Funding
All sources of funding of the study should be disclosed. Clearly indicate grants that you have received in support of your research work and if you received funds to cover publication costs. A listing of complete funding information should be placed in the footnote of the front page.
Main Text
The manuscript should start with a brief introduction describing the paper’s significance. The introduction should provide sufficient background information to make the article intelligible to readers in other disciplines, and sufficient context that the significance of the experimental findings is clear. Technical terms should be defined. Symbols, abbreviations, and acronyms should be defined the first time they appear. All tables and figures should be cited in numerical order. All data must be shown in the main text. References to unpublished materials are not allowed to substantiate significant conclusions of the paper.
Nomenclature and units: Follow internationally accepted rules and conventions: use the international system of units (SI).
Math formulae: Matrices and vectors are in bold. Number consecutively any equations that have to be displayed separately from the text (if referred to explicitly in the text).
Illustration
Authors are encouraged to prepare illustrations in color, especially in those cases where color enhances technical details and comprehension; for this reason, we have been publishing color figures with no charge to the authors. All figures and tables should be inserted into the main text close to their first citation and must be numbered following their number of appearance (Fig. 1,Figs. 2-6, Tab. 1, etc.). Each figure, sub-figure, and table should have a short explanatory title and caption.
Figures and tables should be provided during submission as separate electronic files and named numerically (e.g., fig1.eps, fig2.vsd, fig2.pdf, table3.pdf). In order to preserve the figures’ integrity across multiple computer platforms, you are encouraged to provide vector graphics in the following formats: .EPS/.PDF/.VSD/.PS (make sure that the graphics have no sawteeth when they are extended to whatever bigger size). All fonts must be embedded in order to achieve the best-quality results.
References
References are required to be numbered in order of appearance in the text (including table captions and figure legends) and listed individually at the end of the manuscript, with numbers within square brackets [ ]. Each reference should have a unique number; do not combine references or embed references in notes.
TEXT CITATIONS
Cite references in consecutive numerical order starting with Ref. [1]. Once you number the reference, use the same number in all subsequent citations. It is not necessary to mention the author(s) of the source unless it is relevant to your text. If you do include author names in text, list the first author’s family name. If there are two or more authors, use “et al.”. (Note that “et al.” Is not italicized.)
Examples:
1. One author: “SMITH[1] reports …”
2. Two or more authors: “SMITH et al.[23] report …”
3. To cite more than one source at a time: [2,3], [3-6], [12-14,19]
THE REFERENCE LIST (at the end of the manuscript)
List references in the order they were cited (numerical order, starting with [1]). List only one reference per bracketed number. The names of all authors should be given in the reference list unless there are more than three, in which case you may use “et al.”. The citation style of JCIN adheres to Chinese Standard GB/T 7714-2005. We recommend preparing the references with a bibliography software package, such as EndNote to avoid typing mistakes and duplicated references.
