“Institute of Physics has always been fair and accurate. I published quite a number of times in their journals, and I was always happy with the way the manuscripts were handled. The peer review process always resulted in improving the manuscripts. I recommend IOP to everyone.”


Ann-Marie-Pendrill

Professor Ann-Marie Pendrill, Lund University

(From skating rink to physics assignment—viewing a photo from a mechanics perspective, Physics Education)

“I enjoy publishing with Physics Education, which I find has a good and relatively unique scope, covering student age groups from around 10 year-olds to introductory university, with a mix of papers from physics to educational research, but always with the usefulness to physics teachers at the centre.

I do appreciate the fast turnaround and in general good and constructive comments from IOP reviewers and editors, which I remember also from my atomic physics days, publishing in J. Phys. B. I like the smooth and accurate submission and production process from LaTeX template to proof and publication.” (photo credit Emelie Asplund)

Ms Sophia Flury, University of Massachusetts Amherst

(The Low-redshift Lyman Continuum Survey. II. New Insights into LyC Diagnostics, The Astrophysical Journal)

“•The peer review process was excellent in both cases and truly helped the papers to mature as scientific works before publication.

•The flexibility for deadlines with refereed revisions was readily provided when needed, for which we are grateful.

•The science editor (ApJS) for paper I provided excellent assistance in making our results publicly available to the rest of the community.

•The comments from copy editors were prompt and straightforward.”

Mr-Benjamin-J-Hord Mr Benjamin J Hord, University of Maryland

(The Discovery of a Planetary Companion Interior to Hot Jupiter WASP-132 b, The Astronomical Journal)

“As an early career scientist, AAS Journals made it very easy for me to navigate the submission, peer review, and publication process which can oftentimes seem opaque to those without prior experience submitting to a scientific journal. I am definitely pleased with the level of service I received. The process was smooth and very straightforward. I look forward to publishing in the AAS Journals again!”

Professor Ulisse Munari, INAF Astronomical Observatory of Padova

(Flickering Returns as RS Oph Reestablishes Quiescent Conditions Following its 2021 Nova Outburst, The RNAAS Research Notes of the AAS)

“I enjoyed the way my RNAAS was handled by the editorial staff and by the publishing team.

I believe the format adopted for RNAAS is a good one: the 1,500 words limit is a good balance between going straight to the point and be able to put the results into some context and provide sufficient guidance on errors and uncertainties. The limit of one figure or one table also helps authors to focus on what is the key result they what to deliver.”

(SU (1,1) the hidden dynamical symmetry group for an exact bound state of the Hulthen potential, Physica Scripta)

“IOP Publishing organization is a great place to publish your fascinating ideas that would lead to the the development of needed scientific knowledge. Their website is loaded with lots of guide tips and some relationship tips, on how to present your written article and respond to the referees comments. I bet you, you would learn a whole lot even if your article is rejected.”

 


Dr. Ayman Sandouqa, Al-Balqa Applied University

Mr. Chia-Lung Hung, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University

(Design, Process, and Characterization of Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor Circuits and Six-Transistor Static Random-Access Memory in 4H-SiC, ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology)

“The reason I chose the ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology for my research works is because of it’s reputation and the peer review process is rigorous and time-efficient compared to other journals. The most important thing is the quality of the published papers. As you may know, there are lots of so called ‘predatory journals’ prevailing the academic field. Papers from those kinds of journals normally don’t have qualified review and could make the reader glean the wrong information or, even worse, make a researcher take the wrong direction in their experiments. This is the main point I want to highlight about IOP Publishing.

I also want to highlight the submit and review system. It is very easy for an author to deliver works without spending too much time figuring out what they need to do with the system. During the review process, I also felt comforted by the question feedback and solutions from the Editor in Chief.

So overall, IOP publishing is very helpful to authors who can deliver their research works efficiently and quality controlled. I would be happy to deliver my works to IOP publishing in the future.”


Professor Anna Gina Perri, Polytechnic University of Bari

(Review—Thermal Effects in the Design of CNTFET – Based Digital Circuits, ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology)

“It was great for me to publish with IOP Publishing / ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology.

The whole process of submitting the paper, its peer review, the acceptance and post acceptance processes were fast and I never had any problems in getting in touch with either the editor or the publishing staff regarding the progress of publishing. In particular I wish to thank James Cottle, Production Editor, and Paul Cooper, Beth Schademann and Andrea Guenzel, Editorial Managers of ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology, for their constant support and kindness.

Moreover, I am very impressed by the high quality of publications in IOP Publishing journals, which are of great benefit to all researchers and students around the world to get information on state-of-the-art technologies.

With the kind of experience that I have had, I would love to publish with IOP Publishing again in the future too and, in particular, to support the prestigious ECS Journal of Solid State Science and Technology, whose topics fall into my research field.”
