Special Issue Information
The Special Issue on Advanced Electrical and Communication Technologies 2020 invites original research articles, review papers, and industrial case studies addressing recent developments in electrical engineering, communication systems, and intelligent digital infrastructures. The issue focuses on next-generation communication technologies, smart energy systems, embedded platforms, wireless networks, signal processing, renewable energy integration, and intelligent monitoring and control applications. Contributions related to 5G and beyond communication systems, IoT, smart grids, power electronics, energy-efficient communication protocols, machine learning applications, cyber-physical systems, and advanced electrical infrastructures are particularly encouraged. The special issue aims to provide a multidisciplinary platform for researchers, engineers, and industry practitioners to present innovative theoretical models, simulation approaches, experimental studies, and practical engineering implementations that support efficient, reliable, scalable, and sustainable electrical and communication technologies.
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 2020 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 (March 31, 2021)
- 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.
Published Papers (5 papers)

This special issue presents research contributions focused on electrical engineering systems, communication technologies, and intelligent digital applications. The published papers investigate renewable energy education, hydrogen fuel cells, LTE-Advanced communication systems, load-aware dynamic point selection, e-learning as a knowledge management tool, collaborative filtering and neural recommendation systems, customer behavior toward green advertising, and intelligent communication architectures. Additional studies address wireless communication optimization, smart energy technologies, machine learning applications, distributed systems, sustainable engineering practices, and intelligent data-driven solutions. The issue demonstrates the growing convergence of electrical engineering, communication networks, artificial intelligence, and digital technologies in developing adaptive, efficient, and sustainable engineering systems for modern industrial, educational, and societal applications.

How Ready is Renewable Energy? A Review Paper on Educational Materials and Reports Available for the Teaching of Hydrogen Fuel Cells in Schools
Today, the costs of most Renewable Energy (RE) technologies especially hydrogen energy technologies such as fuel cells, are still beyond the means of poorer economies in developing countries. Hence, there is little public awareness and local expertise in RE in these countries and even lesser in hydrogen energy. To solve this problem, it is important…
Read MoreActual Traffic Based Load-Aware Dynamic Point Selection for LTE-Advanced System
Coordinated MultiPoint (CoMP) has been introduced for LTE-Advanced system to overcome the inter-cell interference problems and enhance the signal quality of cell-edge UEs (User Equipments). With such concept, the overall system performance should be improved considerably to support the significantly increasing amount of demand on data transmission via mobile communication that happens nowadays. Dynamic Point…
Read MoreCustomer Behavior of Green Advertising: Confirmatory Factor Analysis
The implementation of green advertising is relatively low for credibility but has an impact on green customer behavior. Based on the phenomenon, the purpose of this study is to examine factors affecting green advertising development, which is based on experienced customers towards products and advertisements and environmental issues. This research focuses on customers to create…
