Manuscript Submission Overview

Submission Process

Manuscripts should be submitted online through the ASTESJ submission system by registering and logging in to the system. Once registered, authors may submit manuscript until the special issue deadline. All submissions that pass the initial editorial and technical screening are sent for independent external peer review. Accepted papers are published online after acceptance and listed together on the special issue website.

Research articles, review articles, and technical notes are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract of about 250 words may be sent to the Editorial Office for an initial scope check.

You can download the Online Submission Guidelines for the step-wise submission process.
During Online submission, authors must select Special Issue Paper from the Track menu and then select SI on Advanced Electrical and Communication Technologies 2019 in Special Issue/Selection.
In the cover letter section, the author must specify the topic from the above list (minimum 1 with maximum 3) and also write the Invitation code in it.

Important Dates:

Paper Submission Deadline: closed (April 30, 2019)
Acceptance Notification: 4-6 weeks (after submission)
Publication Date: 2 weeks after acceptance

Submitted manuscripts must not have been published previously and must not be under consideration for publication elsewhere, except where a related conference version is fully disclosed and properly extended. Authors should review the Instructions for Authors, Editorial Process, Publishing Ethics, Open Access Policy, and Publication Fee pages before submission.

Formatting and Language

For initial submission, ASTESJ journal formatting is not required. The manuscript should be clear, anonymized for review, and organized using the IMRaD structure where applicable: Introduction, Methods, Results, and Discussion.

Submitted papers should be written in good English, use SI units where applicable, define abbreviations at first use, and provide enough technical detail for editorial screening and external peer review. Authors may use the ASTESJ template package when preparing revised or final files.

There is no submission fee. Article processing charges, discount options, waiver options, and any page charges are described on the Publication Fee page.

Benefits of Publishing in this Special Issue

Focused visibility: accepted papers are grouped under a clearly defined ASTESJ special issue theme.
Easy navigation: readers can access the special issue call, Special Issue Editors, topics, and published papers from one page.
Topic-level discoverability: each article remains linked to the special issue page, section page, DOI, PDF, and article metadata.
Same journal standards: all submissions follow ASTESJ editorial screening, independent peer review, publication ethics, and final editorial decision rules.
Continuous publication: accepted papers can be published online after acceptance and then listed together under the special issue page.

Special issue submissions follow the same editorial screening, independent peer review, publication ethics, and final decision standards as regular ASTESJ submissions. Guest Editor involvement does not guarantee acceptance and does not replace independent peer review or final editorial decision-making.

Design, Implementation and Performance Analysis of a Dual Axis Solar Tracking System

by Ba Thanh Nguyen and Hong-Xuyen Thi Ho

Advances in Science, Technology and Engineering Systems Journal, Volume 5, Issue 3, Page # 41–45, 2020; DOI: 10.25046/aj050306

Abstract:

This study presents the design and construction of the Dual Axis Solar Tracking System to ensure maximum energy gain. The solar tracking system will automatically follow the sun’s position to maximize the intensity of the light emitted from the sun. When the light intensity decreases, the system automatically changes its direction to get the maximum…
