Author Guidelines

International journal of scientific research in network security and communication, better known as IJSRNSC, is one of the leading and growing open access, peer reviewed, fully refereed and scientific journal for scientists, engineers, research scholars, students and academicians. It is the vision of IJSRNSC to publish original research papers/articles, review articles, survey papers, refereed papers and articles as well as auxiliary material such as- case study, technical notes, short communication in all areas of human study without financial restriction.

The journal intends to disseminate original scientific research and knowledge in the field of, primarily, Network Security and Privacy, Information Security, Mobile Computing, Network Communication, Neural Networks, Ad-hoc Network, Computer Science, Information technology, Cloud computing, Security and privacy, Sensor Networks, Forensics Computing and Security, Parallel and distributed systems, Pervasive computing, Security, Trust and Privacy, Data mining and privacy, Cloud and Big Data Analytics, Computer vision, Data warehouse, Internet of Things, Biometrics and Pattern Recognition, Engineering, Computational Sciences, Software Security, Digital Image Processing, Green and Sustainable Computing, and Web Technologies Software Testing Tools & Technologies, Artificial Intelligence, Applied Informatics, Information Processing.But not limited to the above coverage areas.Original and unpublished research papers, based on theoretical or experimental works, are published in IJSRNSC. We publish two types of issues; Regular Issues and Theme Based Special Issues. Announcement regarding special issues is made from time to time, and once an issue is announced to be a Theme Based Special Issue, Regular Issue for that period will not be published.

Papers for Regular Issues of IJSRNSC can be submitted, round the year. All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editors, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All submissions and peer review are conducted online via Editorial Manager.

After the detailed review process, when a paper is finally accepted, the decision regarding the issue in which the paper will be published, will be taken by the Editorial Board; and the author will be intimated accordingly. As an author, you are required to secure permission if you want to reproduce any figure, table, or extract from the text of another source. This applies to direct reproduction as well as "derivative reproduction" (where you have created a new figure or table which derives substantially from a copyrighted source. Before a manuscript can be accepted, copies of all permissions and credit lines must be faxed to the editor's office. It is the responsibility of the contact author to ascertain that all co-authors approve the accepted manuscript and concur with its publication in the journal.

Submission of a paper implies that the work described has not been published previously (except in the form of an abstract or academic thesis) and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The submission should be approved by all the authors of the paper. If a paper is finally accepted, the authorities, where the work had been carried out, shall be responsible for not publishing the work elsewhere in the same form. Paper, once submitted for consideration in IJSRNSC, cannot be withdrawn unless the same is finally rejected.
