Members of a special interest group of Internet and Operation Technology (IPSJ SIG-IOT) plan the special issue of Journal of Information Processing (JIP) “the Internet and operation technologies by constructing resilient information systems”. As a SIG-IOT’s own trial to improve papers submitted for the special issue, we will advise authors on their manuscripts before the submission deadline (June 2018).
Effect
It is not useful for both the authors side and the editorial side to be judged or to judge as “significant modification is necessary” in the first peer review. Therefore, for the purpose to improve the quality of the submitted papers, we carry out “the advice to a draft” that points out what are likely to be judged as reject due to the necessity of major revision at the first judgment.
