≫ Purpose
This regulation describes the procedure and standard required for the review process of technical papers,(including short, regular, invited, and review papers,) submitted to the TechArt: Journal of Arts and Imaging Science. The qualification and appropriateness of manuscripts for the publication are also specified.
≫ General Review Procedure
Following steps are proceeded for the review of submitted manuscripts:
1. The editor-in-chief assigns the associate editor(s) who will then be requested to choose appropriate reviewers within a week.
2. An official review request is sent to the reviewers who accepted the review invitation. The evaluation form and manuscript are included in the request. One month of review period is given to complete the first review process, unless specified.
3. Recommendations and decisions from the reviews are sent to authors with description of status of submitted manuscript. One of the following decisions may be indicated to the authors: accepted as it is, accepted with minor revision, re-review required with major or minor revision, and declined.
4. Upon re-review recommendation, one month is allowed for the authors to complete revision of manuscript, unless additional extension of revision period is specifically requested.
5. Once revised manuscript is received from the authors, it is sent to the reviewers who were originally assigned, unless specified. Three weeks are allowed for the reviewers to complete the re-review of the revised manuscript, unless additional extension of review period is specifically requested.
6. Based on review recommendations and decisions from the reviewers, final decision for the manuscript is made by the editor-in-chief and is informed to authors.
≫ Categorization of manuscripts
Technical areas of submitted manuscripts are categorized and decided by the TechArt: Journal of Arts and Imaging Science subcommittees. Authors may be requested to specify one of 50 technical areas where the manuscripts are reviewed. For cases with no match found, the editorial board specifies relevant areas to assign reviewers.
≫ Submitting Original Papers and Plagiarism Policy
All authors are supposed to submit the manuscript containing original contents. The manuscript which has not been simultaneously submitted to, nor published in any other publication channels, solely can be accepted. If the same paper is found appearing or published in any other publication, the paper will be automatically rejected. The paper previously published in other minor publications such as conference, workshop, seminar, or proceedings can be eligible for being reviewed and published in the Transactions. But we require that the paper be substantially revised with at least 30% new contents which have never been published in the previous publications. Even though the new results from the conference paper are not required, the revised manuscript version should include expansion of key ideas, examples, explanations, figures, tables, elaborations, etc. The manuscript should indicate its previously published conference name and date as a footnote in the left bottom of the first page. Authors very briefly indicate how the new submission offers substantial novel contributions beyond those of the previously published paper(s) or proceedings. We strictly prohibit plagiarism and self plagiarism. If plagiarism is found in a paper in review or in the publication, the Steering Committee of the TechArt: Journal of Arts and Imaging Science will immediately investigate the case. The severe penalty will be imposed on the author(s) related to the plagiarism case based on the investigation.

≫ Review Process
The sent paper will be reviewed by two or more independent referees who have professional backgrounds in the pertinent subject area.
Authors are only given one time revision.
There is no more than one time revision except for a special case which the editorial board members consider a paper to be extraordinarily high quality or interesting to the readers.
The authors should adhere strictly to the revision deadline. Unless the revised manuscript does meet the requirements of the referees and editors, it will be rejected without further process.
The sent paper will be given ‘Publication’, ‘Publication(Direct)’, ‘Re-review after Revision’ or ‘Declined of Publication’.
≫ Requesting for Correcting the File (After Submission)
If you have made an error in submitting your manuscript (e.g., uploaded the wrong file, left one or more files out, etc.), please e-mail the TechArt: Journal of Arts and Imaging Science assistant to notify us and make corrections.
≫ Submitting Final Publication Materials
If the sent paper is accepted for publication after review process, we will send you a detailed guide and an author checklist for final paper submission requirements. Please be advised to pay close attention to the detailed requirements. You are supposed to send the final manuscript along with author’s photos and read copyright transfer form. You can download the copyright transfer form below: download
The paper is conditionally accepted with some requirements. A revision means that the paper should go back to the original reviewers for a second round of reviews.
We strongly discourage editors from making a decision based on their own review of the manuscript if a revision had been previously required.
