Aims and Scope

Each issue of the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC) is devoted to a specific technical topic and thus provides to JSAC readers a collection of up-to-date papers on that topic. These issues are valuable to the research community and become valuable references. The technical topics covered by JSAC issues span the entire field of communications and networking. JSAC publishes only papers that are submitted in response to a Call-for-Papers. These calls are published in JSAC issues and other publications of the IEEE Communications Society as appropriate to the subject area of the call. Papers submitted for review for possible publication in a JSAC issue must be submitted to one of the Guest Editors listed in the Call-for-Papers. See "Information for Authors" found in any JSAC issue for additional instructions. Topics for JSAC issues are determined by the JSAC Editorial Board after review of proposals submitted by interested parties. All are invited to submit proposals. Instructions for submitting proposals are included in the Guidelines for Proposal preparation on the JSAC website. Recent issue themes included: Network Coding for Wireless Communication Networks, Wireless and Pervasive Communications for Healthcare, Network Infrastructure Configuration, Broadband Access Networks: Architectures and Protocols, Body Area Networking: Technology and Applications, Underwater Wireless Communication Networks, Game Theory in Communication Systems, Exploiting Limited Feedback in Tomorrow’s Communication Networks.

Verified Reviews

Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.

This journal is a pure SI (special issue), and there must be a suitable topic for submission. There are a total of four reviewers who provided over 50 comments, with one reviewer's comments being extremely harsh, almost making me doubt my life. In the end, I wrote a response of over 70 pages carefully addressing all the reviewers' comments and luckily got accepted. It can be said that when submitting to JSAC (Journal of Selected Areas in Communications), one must be mentally prepared to be scrutinized. All the reviewers' comments were very professional and sharp, and it was obvious that three of them were junior colleagues. It can be seen that these comments are not something that a student who just wrote a paper can provide. Most of the comments hit the core issues and pointed out all the ambiguities in the paper. It is said that the reviewers are mostly invited top-tier professors and senior doctoral students. Moreover, based on my submission and review experience, if there is one reviewer who wants to reject your paper, then it's basically over for this submission.

I submitted it at the end of August, received major revisions in mid-November, and returned the revised manuscript in mid-December. The reviewer was very strict and professional, asking helpful questions and pointing out some areas in my paper that I wanted to avoid.
