Dear Dr. Neumann,
We would like to welcome and invite you to contribute manuscript(s) related to the following Special Issue for consideration and publication in Systems (ISSN 2079-8954, http://www.mdpi.com/journal/systems).
Special Issue: Engineering Socio-Technical Systems Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/systems/eng-soc-tec-syst/ Guest Editor: Dr. Thomas V. Huynh Deadline for manuscript submissions: 31 May 2013
Systems - an online, quarterly published journal on systems science and engineering - is one of several open-access, peer-reviewed journals published by MDPI; the list of these journals can be found at: http://www.mdpi.com/about/journals/. Open access (unlimited and free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the authors and their institutions. More information is available at: http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/.
The MDPI Editorial Board members, including several Nobel Laureates (http://www.mdpi.com/about/nobelists/), are all leading active scholars. All MDPI journals maintain rigorous and rapid peer-review, manuscript handling, and editorial processes. MDPI journals have been found to have increased their impact factors, see "2011 Newly Released Impact Factors," http://www.mdpi.com/about/announcements/235.
You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline. Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to email a tentative title and a short abstract of their papers prior to the paper submissions for approval to the Editorial Office at: systems@mdpi.com.
Article Processing Charges (APC) are waived for invited papers. However, a fee of 250 CHF (Swiss franc) may apply if major English editing of the papers must be undertaken by the MDPI Editorial Office. Authors, whose primary language is not English and who wish to avoid paying this fee, are encouraged to collaborate with native English authors or ask an English editing company to help with improving the language quality of their papers before submission.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript: http://www.mdpi.com/journal/systems/instructions/. Manuscripts should be submitted through the online manuscript submission and editorial system at http://www.mdpi.com/user/manuscripts/upload/.
In case of questions, please contact the Editorial Office at: systems@mdpi.com.
We are looking forward to hearing from you.
Kind Regards, Grace Lu
On behalf of the Guest Editor
