The 2022 volume of the IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques (IEEE J-MMCT) will include a special section dedicated to the 2021 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (2021 IEEE AP-S/URSI). Authors of all papers relevant to topics of interest of J-MMCT presented at the symposium are invited to submit an expanded version of their papers to this special section. The expanded version requires that the new technical content will include a more in-depth treatment, new results beyond the 2021 IEEE AP-S/URSI paper, or both. The J-MMCT Editorial Board will review every paper in the same manner as any other regular submission.

Paper submission is accomplished through the ScholarOne Manuscript Central website (http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jmmct-ieee). When you start a new submission to the special section, please choose 2021 IEEE AP-S/URSI as the type of your submission.

When you prepare your manuscript you should consult the instructions, templates and resources available at the IEEE Authors’ Center (https://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org). Papers not following the standard IEEE journal template cannot be accepted into the peer review process. Please be aware that your contribution should be prepared as any other regular J-MMCT paper and that it will be evaluated via the same peer-review process. The quality of your contribution must meet the level required for a publication at J-MMCT.

Other Submission instructions:

1. The conference(s) paper(s) must be included along with the submission as supplementary files.
2. You must reference your own work, especially recent journal/conference publications. Discuss your related publications, especially the relevant conference paper, in the introduction. Distinguish the new results you present in your current manuscript from those found in your previous publications, to demonstrate that the paper includes sufficient new technical material to justify a new paper, when compared to all previously published papers.
3. The following note should be added to the footnote on the first page of the paper: “This paper is an expanded version of a conference paper presented at 2021 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting, Singapore.”

Submissions are accepted any time, but no later than January 15, 2022, 11:59 PM (Hawaii Standard Time). There will be no extension to this deadline, to ensure that the review process is concluded in time for the 2022 volume.

If you have any questions, you can contact the Editor-in-Chief (Prof. Costas Sarris at eic-jmmct@ieee.org), or the Guest Editors:
