Manuscript Auditing →01Impact factor
Impact factor of Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering (2026)
The impact factor shown here is the 2-year mean citedness: citations received in a year by the papers Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering published in the two previous years, divided by the number of those papers. That is the same formula as the Journal Impact Factor, applied to the open citation data of OpenAlex. The journal is listed in JCR 2024, so it also has an official Journal Impact Factor published by Clarivate, which can differ because it counts citations from Web of Science journals only.
Rank in its subject categories
- Computer Science, Software Engineeringrank 40 of 134 journals
- Engineering, Electrical & Electronicrank 116 of 382 journals
- Computer Science, Information Systemsrank 108 of 274 journals
Ranks here compare journals of the same Web of Science category in our data by 2-year citedness; they are not the official JCR rank.
Quartile of Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering
A journal's quartile (Q1 to Q4) is its position within a subject category: Q1 is the top quarter. The official quartiles are published by Clarivate in Journal Citation Reports (by Journal Impact Factor, in Web of Science categories) and by Scimago as the SJR quartile (in Scopus categories). Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering is listed in JCR 2024, so its JCR quartile is in Journal Citation Reports. It is indexed in Scopus, so Scimago shows its SJR quartile. ScholarsColab does not show a quartile until it can show the official one; the impact factor and rank above are calculated from open data.

02Review time
Review time of Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering
Each paper took a different time. The green box holds the middle half of the papers and the dark line is the median; the whiskers reach the fastest 10% and the slowest 10%. Plan with the whole spread, not only the median.
Half of the research articles Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering published between Nov 2024 and Dec 2025 were accepted within 126 days of submission, and the middle half took between 94 and 157 days. This time includes peer review and any revision rounds. Papers that were rejected are not counted, because only published papers carry these dates.
In Engineering, Electrical & Electronic, Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering ranks 24 of 85 journals by review time (1 = fastest). See the fastest-review journals in Engineering, Electrical & Electronic →

05How to submit
How to submit to Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering
- Read the guide for authors. It sets the article types, word limit, reference style and file format that Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering accepts. You find it on the official website of the journal, usually under "For authors" or "Submit".
- Format to the journal's style. Check whether it wants a Word file, a LaTeX file or a PDF for the first submission, and follow its reference style; many journals accept any clear format at first and ask for their style only after acceptance.
- Check the fit. Compare your title and abstract with the papers it has published; papers outside the scope are the most common reason for a desk rejection. The Journal Finder shows journals that published the closest work.
- Check the fee. Frontiers of Information Technology and Electronic Engineering is not a fully open access journal, so authors usually pay nothing unless they choose open access for their article or the journal charges page or colour fees. The guide for authors states the current charges.
- Check your manuscript before you submit. The free Submission Readiness Check asks the seven questions our reviewers ask in every audit and takes about 2 minutes.
