What to Look for When Choosing a Journal
Before submitting your research, evaluate journals on these key criteria:
- Scope match — does the journal cover your technology domain or application area?
- Indexing — Google Scholar indexing and CrossRef DOI assignment are essential
- Review timeline — technology research moves fast; choose journals with quick turnarounds
- Open access — ensures your paper reaches practitioners, startups, and global researchers
- Transparent APC — no hidden fees; clear publication charge policies
- Active editorial board — experts in technology, computing, or applied science

Fast Publication: All Keith Publications journals complete initial review within 2–5 business days and full peer review within 2–4 weeks. Articles are published online within 5–10 days of acceptance — making us one of the fastest open access publishers in the engineering and technology field.
Why Open Access Matters for Technology Research
Technology research thrives on open sharing. Open access publication ensures that your innovations, methodologies, and findings are freely accessible to engineers, developers, entrepreneurs, and researchers worldwide — not just those at institutions with expensive journal subscriptions. Keith Publications' technology journals are fully open access, with no reader-facing paywalls, maximising the reach and citation potential of your academic papers.
Technology Research Scope at Keith Publications
Keith Publications accepts technology research across a wide spectrum: information technology, communication systems, software and hardware engineering, digital transformation, internet of things (IoT), cloud computing, cybersecurity, human-computer interaction, and emerging technology policy. If your paper advances understanding in any technology domain, the CJET or ASETJ is a natural home for your work.
Tips to Maximise Your Acceptance Chances
- Align your topic with the journal's scope — read the aims and scope carefully before submitting.
- Write a compelling abstract — it's the first thing editors and reviewers read. Make it clear, concise, and keyword-rich.
- Ensure strong methodology — clearly describe your research design, experimental setup, or computational approach.
- Use current and relevant citations — include recent publications (within the last 5 years) alongside seminal engineering works.
- Follow formatting guidelines exactly — non-compliant manuscripts are often desk-rejected without review.
- Present results clearly — use tables, figures, and graphs to communicate quantitative findings effectively.
- State practical implications — explain how your engineering or technology findings can be applied in practice.
