Interdisciplinary Research

PJECS encourages interdisciplinary contributions that integrate electrical engineering, computing, information technology, and related disciplines. Such submissions must demonstrate a clear and substantial scientific, computational, or engineering contribution relevant to the journal's scope.

Editorial Considerations

Submitted manuscripts must demonstrate originality, technical or scientific significance, methodological rigor, appropriate validation, and a clear contribution to existing knowledge. The journal welcomes both theoretical advances and well-supported applied research, including experimental studies, computational investigations, and reproducible engineering solutions.

The scope is indicative rather than exhaustive. Manuscripts addressing emerging topics may be considered when their principal contribution aligns with the journal's aims and disciplinary focus.
