Author Guidelines

Submission of Papers


The Journal of the Chinese Institute of Industrial Engineers is a refereed journal publishing original papers bimonthly on all phases of industrial engineering. Papers for publication should be submitted online to the JCIIE website (http://www.jciie.ciie.org.tw). In order to preserve the anonymity of authorship, authors shall prepare a file (in MS Word format or PDF) without author's (authors') name(s) and affiliation(s) for each submission. The affiliation will need to be provided online during the submission process. Since the Journal is blind refereed, authors should not include any reference to themselves, their affiliations or their sponsorships in the body of the paper or on figures and computer outputs. Proper credits and acknowledgement can be given in the final accepted version of the paper.

Editorial Policy


Submission of a paper implies that it has neither been published previously nor submitted for publication elsewhere. After the paper has been accepted, the corresponding author will be responsible for page formatting, page proof and signing off for printing on behalf of other coauthors. The publication charge to the corresponding author is US$150 (NT$5,000) for a paper of 10 printed pages or less and US$30 (NT$1,000) per page for each page over 10 printed pages. The corresponding author will receive one issue copy of the published paper free of charge.

Manuscript Preparation


The following points should be observed when preparing a manuscript besides being coincident and consistent in style, spelling, and the use of abbreviations.

  1. Language. Paper should be written in English. Each paper should contain an abstract not exceeding 150 words. In addition, three to five keywords should be provided.

  2. Manuscripts. Paper should be typed, single-column, double-spaced, on standard white paper measuring 21cm x 29.7cm (A4 format).

  3. Title and Author. The title should be concise, informative, and it should appear on top of the first page of the paper in capital letters. Author information should not appear on the title page; it should be provided on a separate information sheet that contains the title, the author’s (authors’) name(s), affiliation(s), e-mail address(es), and fax number(s).

  4. Headings. Section headings as well as headings for subsections should start from the left-hand margin.

  5. Mathematical Expressions. All mathematical expressions should be typed using Equation Editor of MS Word. Numbers in parenthesis shall be provided for equations or other mathematical expressions that are referred to in the paper and be aligned to the right margin of the page.

  6. Tables and Figures. Once a paper is accepted, the corresponding author should promptly supply original copies of all drawings and/or tables. They must be clear for printing. All should come with proper numbering, titles, and descriptive captions. Figure (or table) numbering and its subsequent caption must be below (or above) the figure (or table) itself and as typed as the text.

  7. References. Display only those references cited in the text. References should be listed and numbered alphabetically by the surname of the first author at the end of the paper. References cited in the text should appear as the corresponding numbers in square bracket with or without the authors’ names in front. For example
