2. Submission
All submissions to JoWUA must be made using the our online submission system integrated with this official web-site ofJoWUA. The submissions will be assigned to at least two independent referees who have professional backgrounds in the related subject area. To submit a paper, please log onto online submission system. If you don’t have one already, you will need to create your account.3. Manuscript Format
All submissions must include the following elements: title, abstract, key words, illustrations, and bibliography. References should appear in a separate bibliography at the end of the paper, with items referred to by numerals in square brackets. Figures should be placed exactly where they are to appear within the text. Submitted papers must use one-column formatting with single-spaced text in a 11-point font. A manuscript style file is available and acceptable only for Latex:JoWUA uses the easychair Latex class. The submitted regular paper is suggested to from 10 to 20 pages, and the short paper is from 3 to 6 pages. All papers should be written in English. An abstract is essential for each paper with 100 to 200 words for a regular paper and 50 words for a short paper.3.1. Manuscript Format: Title and Abstract
Select a title that accurately and clearly tells what the paper is about. Choose title terms as highly specific as content and emphasis of the paper permit. The typical length is might 6 to 12 words. Avoid special symbols and formulas in titles unless essential to indicate content. An abstract is essential for each paper with 100 to 200 words for a regular paper and 50 words for a short paper. The abstract should state the objectives of the work, summarize the results, and give the principal conclusions. Abstracts must not include mathematical expressions or bibliographic references. Non-standard or uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, but if essential they must be defined at their first mention in the abstract itself.3.2. Manuscript Format: Figure and Table
Figures include graphs of results, schematic drawings, samples of output screen dumps, and photographs of special equipment or displays. Each figure should be numbered and have a caption. Care should be taken to ensure that the legends and labels within the figure are large enough to be readable after they are reduced. For final submissions, high quality (at least 600 dpi) figures should be included. Number tables consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters.3.3. Manuscript Format: Reference
Please ensure that every reference cited in the text is also present in the reference list (and vice versa). Unpublished results and personal communications are not recommended in the reference list, but may be mentioned in the text. The followings are examples for references:- Reference to a Journal: I. You, J.-H. Lee, K. Sakurai and Y. Hori, “ESS-FH: Enhanced Security Scheme,” Journal of Wireless Mobile Networks, Ubiquitous Computing, and Dependable Applications, vol. 1, no. 1, pp.23-45, May 2010.

4. Peer Review Process
JoWUA adopts the single-blind peer review process as follows:The submitted manuscripts are evaluated by anonymous referees for originality, relevance, and presentation. Revisions requested by the editor should be submitted through which will be forwarded directly to that editor. After the refereeing process is complete, a handing editor makes a decision for acceptance or rejection. There are two types of revisions: major or minor. For a major revision, original referees will be invited to review the manuscript again, and make a recommendation. For a minor revision, no more reviews are required, the handing editor makes the final decision of acceptance if both the content and format are acceptable.
5. Once Accepted
If the reviewed manuscript is acceptable, we will send you a detailed guide and an author checklist for final manuscript submission requirements. And each author will be asked to sign and submit the COPYRIGHT AND CONSENT FORM, which formally accepts their copyright transfer
to the journal publisher, Innovative Information Science & Technology Research Group.
That is, each author needs to agree with the copyright requirements in the form, which is available at here.
Note that this charge can be waived or discounted depending on a situation.
6. For the authors of conference (or workshop) papers
she or he should consider the followings:
- The author should cite the conference paper while clearly describing it is extended for the journal version.
- The conference paper should be considerably extended by at least 30%.
- The extended paper should not include the figures, tables, and paragraphs used in its conference version.
please do not hesitate to contact the editorial board or directly Editor-in-Chief of JoWUA.
8. Submission Preparation Checklist
As part of the submission process, authors are required to check off their submission’s compliance with all of the following items, and submissions may be returned to authors that do not adhere to these guidelines.
- The submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration.
- The base font is Times New Roman-like, and the sans-serif font is Helvetica. The text is single-spaced; uses a 11-point font; employs italics, rather than underlining (except with URL addresses); and all illustrations, figures, and tables are placed within the text at the appropriate points, rather than at the end.
