Electrical and electronics engineering (EEE) research moves fast, covering renewable integration, EV chargers, smart grids, power electronics and embedded systems. Many EEE authors work from MATLAB/Simulink simulations or prototype hardware and look for an affordable journal. This guide describes what EEE reviewers expect, how to handle references with Mendeley, and what the “Mendeley indexed” claim really means. Keep a record of your simulation settings from the start, since reviewers often ask for them.
EEE Research Topics Right Now
- Solar and wind grid integration; energy storage
- Power electronic converters, EV charging and battery management
- Smart grids, protection and demand response
- Harmonics, power quality and FACTS devices
- Motor drives and control systems
- VLSI, embedded systems and IoT sensing
How to Report MATLAB/Simulink and Hardware Work
| Work type | Report |
|---|---|
| Simulation | Test scenarios, sampling time, solver settings, parameters and model blocks |
| Hardware prototype | Measurement equipment, controller, component ratings and circuit diagram |
| Both | Simulation and hardware results set side by side |
| Comparison | Measured against conventional methods or published results under identical conditions |
References and Style
Most EEE journals follow the numbered IEEE reference style, and a reference manager helps keep it consistent: Mendeley, Zotero and EndNote all include IEEE style. Mendeley suits this purpose, but it is a reference manager and not a journal index, so “Mendeley indexed” on a journal’s website says nothing about quality. Always run a final manual check, because automated formatting can miss small errors.
What Reviewers Look for in EEE Papers
Realistic parameters
Ratings and values consistent with real equipment.
Fair comparison
Identical conditions for the proposed and conventional methods.
Dynamic performance
Transient results alongside steady-state ones.
Standards
Compliance with standards from IEEE/IEC, for example harmonic limits.
Publishing Affordably
- Confirm your requirement. Compare journals with IEEE conferences for API or PhD purposes.
- Draw up a shortlist of affordable reviewed journals. Look for modest fees, payment after acceptance and DOIs.
- Check indexing claims. Use Scopus, the Master Journal List or Google Scholar instead of trusting badges.
A Simulation Parameters Table That Reviewers Expect
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| PV array rating | 5 kW |
| DC link voltage | 400 V |
| Switching frequency | 10 kHz |
| Grid voltage / frequency | 230 V / 50 Hz |
| Solver / step size | Discrete, 5 µs |
| Controller gains | Kp = 0.8, Ki = 120 |
A single table of parameters lets reviewers judge realism quickly and allows others to reproduce your results. The values shown are illustrative.

Presenting Circuits, Waveforms and Results
Circuit diagrams
Draw with standard symbols and give every component its value.
Waveforms
Label axes with quantities and units, and state the scope settings for hardware captures.
Comparison plots
Plot the proposed method against baselines on shared axes.
Tables of parameters
Give simulation and hardware parameters so others can reproduce the results.
Refer to preparing figures and tables and IEEE format.
Checking Simulation Results Against Hardware
- Document the simulation setup — the software, its version, the solver and the step size
- Build a prototype or cite one — and list its components and ratings
- Compare key metrics — such as efficiency, THD, settling time or other relevant measures
- Account for discrepancies — losses, parasitics and measurement uncertainty
- Make data or models available — where possible, to support reproducibility
Preparing an Electrical Engineering Paper for Affordable Publication
Reviewers of electrical engineering papers look for reproducible circuits, honest simulations and tidy references. These tips focus on the small details that make a submission easier to assess.
- Label every symbol once. Define each variable, subscript and unit the first time it appears, and keep notation consistent between equations, figures and tables. Inconsistent symbols are a frequent cause of reviewer confusion.
- Export figures at readable quality. Save waveforms and block diagrams as vector graphics where possible, with legible axis labels and distinct line styles. Colour alone may disappear when a reader prints the article in grey.
- State the tools and settings. Name the software, solver type, step size and any toolbox used. Without these details, another researcher cannot reproduce your simulated results, however convincing the plots look.
- Describe the hardware setup honestly. Mention instrument models, sampling arrangements, calibration and known limitations of the test bench. Reviewers trust a paper more when it admits where measurement errors could arise.
- Sort references by relevance. Within your reference manager, group foundational standards, comparable designs and your own earlier work. This helps you cite the strongest comparisons instead of padding the list.
Make your notation, tools, settings and test conditions explicit so another engineer could rebuild your work and reach similar results.
