JCISE Completes Five Years of Publishing!

Abstract

With our last issue, JCISE completed five years of publishing. Since our first issue came out in March 2001, we have produced 20 issues containing 217 articles, of which 170 were full length research papers. Our average review time is around 2.5 months and the overall acceptance rate after two review cycles is around 35%. Paper submissions have climbed at a steady rate of 15–20 % a year. Since our page quota is fixed (400 pages maximum annually) and our acceptance rates have not changed significantly, our backlog of accepted papers waiting to be published has grown to about 6–9 months. This is a healthy number since it allows journal publication to proceed on time.
