Information for Authors

ARCHIVES OF ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING (previously Archiwum Elektrotechniki), quarterly magazine of Polish Academy of Sciences, has published scientific papers in Polish, English, French or German for over fifty years. Beginning from January 1995 Archives of Electrical Engineering is publishing exlusively in English original scientific articles and short communiques from all branches of Electrical Power Engineering. All published papers are revised. All contributions should be addressed to the Editor-in-Chief or the Editorial Office.

The main fields of interest are related to:

• theory & engineering of the components of electrical power system: switching devices, reactors, etc. together with basic questions of their insulation, ampacity, switching capability etc.,
• electrical machines and transformers,
• modelling & calculation of circuits,
• electrical & magnetic fields problems,
• electromagnetic compability,
• control problems,
• power electronics,
• electrical power engineering.
• nondestructive testing & nondestructive evaluation

Technical Details

All authors should have participated sufficiently in the work to take responsibility for the content, either all of the work or an important part of it. Each author must be able to defend the content (all or important part) and conclusion of the article if publicly challenged. Sufficient participation means that substantial contributions have been made in each of the following areas:

1) Conception and design, or acquisition of data, or analysis and interpretation of data

2) Drafting the manuscript or revising it critically for important content, and

3) Approval of the version of the submitted manuscript.

• Submission of an ARTICLE to the Archives of Electrical Engineering is understood to imply that the article is original, unpublished and is not being considered for publication elsewhere. The submitted articles should not exceed 70 000 characters (ca. 20 pages on A4 paper with 11 pt font size, single line spacing and 4 cm margins).
• The reviewing process: Each paper submitted for publication in Archives of Electrical Engineering is subjected to the following review procedure:

a) the paper is reviewed by the editor in chief or guest editor for general suitability for publication in AEE,
b) if it is judged suitable two reviewers are selected and a double review process takes place,
c) based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the editor then decides whether the paper should be accepted in its present form, revised or rejected,
d) the author(s) is(are) informed by e-mail on the results of the reviewing procedure. 

• The TITLE of article should be brief yet informative. Short title, used in header, should not exceed 50 characters. Below the title the FULL NAME(S) of Author(s) and their AFFILIATION(S) followed by the full postal and e-mail addresses should be given. The ABSTRACT should be concise yet informative, not only indicating the general scope of the article, but also stating the main results and conclusions. The abstract should be complete in itself and should not exceed 200 words. A list of 3-6 KEY WORDS has to be given just after the abstract.
• The TEXT of the article should be divided into sections and, if necessary, subsections. Any special characters (e.g. Greek script etc.) should be named in the margin where the character first occurs in the text. Metric, SI units and the Celsius measurements should be used throughout. Abbreviations should be explained when they first appear in the text. TABLES may be included into the text with their sequential number (Tab. ...) and caption placed above the table.
• The Microsoft Equation Editor or the MathType add-on should be used for typing EQUATIONS. Equations should be typed within the text, centered, and should be numbered consecutively throughout the text. Their numbers should be typed in parentheses, flush right. Equations should be referred to in text, e.g. (1). All symbols appearing in equations have to be defined in the text, before or just after the equation.
  Vectors and matrices should be in bold and variables in italic.
• The ILLUSTRATIONS (line diagrams and photographs) should be suitable for direct reproduction. The lettering as well the details should have proportional dimensions to maintain their legibility after the usual reduction. Authors wishing to use the facility of color printing should consult the editors. All illustrations should be numbered consecutively (Fig. …). Figures, photos, tables or other parts of manuscript that have previously appeared in a publication or are not the property of the authors must be properly acknowledged in the manuscript. Permission to republish these items must be obtained by the corresponding author from a person or institution holding the copyright, usually the publisher. Authors are requested to send the figures (diagrams, line drawings and photographic images) in separate computer files. The desired position of each illustration should be marked in the typescript.
• REFERENCES in text must be numbered consecutively by Arabic numerals placed in square brackets. Do not include the unpublished data, personal communications or manuscripts " in preparation". Such materials, if necessary, can be included into the text and left unnumbered. Please ensure that all references in the Reference list are cited in the text and vice versa. Please provide name(s) and initials of author(s), title of the paper, editors (if any), title of the journal or book, volume number, the page range, and finally year of publication in brackets.
