Electrical Engineering Journal (TEE): Scope, Indexing and How to Publish in 2027

Trends in Electrical Engineering reports an average acceptance time of 25.07 days and published 66 articles in 2024. It is a peer-reviewed, hybrid open access electrical engineering journal publishing since 2011, now in Volume 16, indexed in eight databases including Index Copernicus, Journal TOCs and Indian Science Abstract. It is not indexed in Scopus or Web of Science.

Most authors looking for a venue ask two questions: will it be reviewed properly, and how long will it take. Most journals answer the first and avoid the second.

Trends in Electrical Engineering (TEE) publishes both numbers. Average acceptance: 25 days. Average time to publication after that: 67 days. For a doctoral candidate with a submission deadline or a team reporting against a funded milestone, that is the difference between a paper that counts and one that arrives too late.

What TEE Covers

This electrical engineering journal focuses on rapid publication of fundamental research papers across all areas of electrical engineering.

Fifteen years of continuous publication, both ISSNs registered, and a DOI on every article. The full Focus and Scope is on the journal page.

The Numbers That Matter

Most journals at this level do not publish operational metrics at all. TEE does.

Twenty-five days to a decision is fast by any standard. Large commercial electrical engineering titles routinely take three to eight months for a first decision. Sixty-six articles in 2024 also tells you the editorial pipeline is genuinely active rather than struggling to fill issues.

Set your expectations accordingly: a well-prepared manuscript can realistically move from submission to publication inside three months.

Indexing

This electrical engineering journal is indexed in Google Scholar, Advanced Science Index, Index Copernicus, Scientific Literature (SCILIT), Genamics, Journal TOCs, SJIF and Indian Science Abstract.

Two are worth noting. Indian Science Abstract, maintained by NISCAIR under CSIR, is a national abstracting service relevant to Indian institutional evaluation. Journal TOCs lets researchers set subject alerts, so your paper reaches people who have registered interest in electrical engineering rather than waiting to be found by search.

Index Copernicus Value: 60.42 in 2022.

SJIF:

Said plainly: This electrical engineering journal is not indexed in Scopus or Web of Science. If your institution requires either, confirm before submitting anywhere. SJIF is also not the Clarivate Journal Impact Factor.

What Actually Gets Published

Recent issues cluster into five areas, and the mix leans strongly toward energy systems and electric mobility.

Power Systems and Distribution Networks

Distributed generation, voltage regulation, reactive power management, D-STATCOM placement and optimisation. Recent work assesses DG integration impact on power losses and voltage profiles.

Electric Vehicles and Battery Systems

Onboard charging, battery management systems, state of charge and state of health estimation, thermal protection and fault detection. This is one of the journal’s busiest areas.

Smart Grids and Energy Management

AC microgrids, IoT-based energy management, demand response and household energy optimisation. Recent papers combine deep learning with optimisation techniques for load scheduling.

AI and Machine Learning in Power Systems

Electricity price forecasting, demand prediction, deep neural networks applied to energy markets including Indian Energy Exchange data.

Renewable Energy Integration

Grid integration of renewables, stability under variable generation, and the control challenges that follow.

Recent Papers

Designing a Smart, IoT-Based Energy Management System for AC Microgrids — Mhaske and Agrawal build an energy management system aimed at efficiency and security for microgrids operating in resource-constrained environments.

Design of an Intelligent Battery Monitoring and Protection System for Electric Vehicles — Kamble and colleagues implement a BMS measuring cell voltage, pack current and temperature, with SOC and SOH estimation and coordinated protection.

Impact Assessment of Distributed Generations with D-STATCOM in Distribution Network — Patel, Tripathi and Patel address power losses, voltage regulation and reactive power management as DG penetration rises.

Optimized Household Energy Management System for Demand Response using DFDGCN-BWWPO — Gursal and Agrawal combine a deep feature dynamic graph convolution network with binary weighted whale particle optimisation for load scheduling.

Design and Implementation of Onboard Electric Vehicle Charging System — Munshi and team build a microcontroller-based onboard charger with AC-DC conversion, real-time monitoring and thermal protection.

The house style: a defined electrical system, an implemented or simulated solution, and measured performance. These are tagged as Original Research, which matches what they actually are.

Who Runs the Journal

The Editor-in-Chief is Dr. Sudhir Ramdas Paraskar, Principal at Mauli College of Engineering, Shegaon, Maharashtra. His institutional profile is published and verifiable on the college’s own site, and he maintains an APID profile.

The full editorial board lists practising researchers, and manuscripts are routed by subject expertise.

Is This the Right Journal for Your Paper?

Probably a good fit if:

• You need a decision quickly — the published average is 25 days
• Your work is power systems, EV, smart grid or energy management with results
• You have a simulation or implementation study with measured performance
• Eight-database indexing including Indian Science Abstract meets your requirement
• Your paper is applied electrical engineering that larger journals call incremental

Look elsewhere if:

• Your institution requires Scopus or Web of Science indexing
• You need a Clarivate Journal Impact Factor for a promotion file
• Your work is pure electronics or communications with no electrical power component
• You have a conceptual paper without simulation or experimental data

How to Submit

Confirm the electrical engineering core. Power systems, machines, drives, energy management or electrical control must be central. Pure electronics or signal processing fits less well.

Follow the guidelines. Author Guidelines and Instructions for Authors cover structure, references and figures.

Submit through the portal. Upload via the manuscript submission system.

Prepare properly before you submit. A 25-day average assumes your manuscript does not need three rounds of basic corrections. The checklist below is what actually determines whether you hit that average.

Check the APC. As a hybrid journal, TEE charges a processing fee for the open access route. See the Article Processing Charges page.

What Reviewers Will Look For

Electrical engineering journal submissions come back for a predictable set of reasons.

• System parameters stated in full. Ratings, voltage levels, line impedances, transformer data, load models. A power system study without these cannot be reproduced.
• Simulation environment specified. Software and version, solver, time step, convergence criteria.
• Base case defined. Your optimised configuration needs the unoptimised one next to it under identical conditions.
• Test system named. IEEE 33-bus, 69-bus or whichever standard network, with the data source cited.
• Results quantified. Loss reduction in kW and percent, voltage profile improvement per bus, convergence time — with units.
• Hardware specified for implementation papers: microcontroller, sensors, power electronics, measurement instruments.
• Multiple scenarios tested. Light load, peak load, fault condition. A single operating point is weak evidence.
• Comparison with published methods under matched conditions, not just against your own baseline.
• Current references. EV, smart grid and energy management all move quickly.

Verifying This Journal Yourself

Since the UGC CARE list was discontinued, researchers verify journals independently. For TEE, each indexing listing can be checked directly on the respective database, both ISSNs are registered, DOIs are assigned under the prefix 10.37591/TEE, the Editor-in-Chief’s affiliation is traceable to his college’s own site, and the journal publishes its acceptance and publication times openly.

The journal also publishes a UGC Suggested Parameters page mapping itself against the current UGC criteria.

Conclusion

This electrical engineering journal is not a Scopus or Web of Science venue, and if your department requires one, that settles it early.

What this electrical engineering journal offers is unusual for its tier and worth weighing carefully: a published average acceptance time of 25 days, 66 articles in 2024, fifteen years of unbroken publication, indexing across eight databases including Indian Science Abstract, a DOI on every article, and an editorial lead with a verifiable affiliation.

For a power systems study, an EV or battery management implementation, a smart grid optimisation paper, or applied energy management work, it is a realistic venue — particularly when timing matters. Researchers whose work leans toward sensing and instrumentation may also want to look at the instrumentation journal JoITI, which covers adjacent ground.

If that fits your work, read the author guidelines, run through the checklist above, and submit your manuscript.
