About SSRG International Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

International Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering

The International Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering in this record is SSRG-IJEEE, the open access, double-blind peer-reviewed electrical and electronics journal published in India by the Seventh Sense Research Group — verified here by its ISSN pair, 2348-8379 online and 2349-9176 in print, and by its article DOI prefix, not by its generic title alone. Its heartland is power: multilevel inverters, converters, power quality, photovoltaics and microgrids. Its brief, as its publisher states it and its contents confirm it, runs to almost every corner of electrical and electronics engineering.

Identity at a Glance

The International Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering profiled in this record is the SSRG journal of that name: SSRG International Journal of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, shortened to SSRG-IJEEE, published in India by the Seventh Sense Research Group. The identification rests on the identifiers, not on the title alone, because more than one journal around the world uses a similar name. This record gives ISSN 2348-8379 and ISSN 2349-9176. Those are the SSRG journal's numbers: bibliographic records for its articles give 2349-9176 as the print ISSN and 2348-8379 as the online ISSN, its articles carry DOIs built on the prefix 10.14445/23488379, and its publisher is named in university repositories as Seventh Sense Research Group.

That care is necessary. A different International Journal of Electrical Engineering is published in Taiwan, a different electronics journal appears from other Indian publishers, and conference proceedings and low-quality imitations borrow generic engineering titles freely. None of those is this journal. When you cite, submit to or evaluate SSRG-IJEEE, check the ISSN pair and the DOI prefix first. If a site offering this title shows neither 2348-8379 nor the SSRG name, you are looking at a different publication, whatever its banner says.

The original Journals World record lists an h-index of 12 for this journal. It also described the journal as not open access, which conflicts with the publisher's own description of SSRG-IJEEE as an open access journal; the publisher's description is followed in this profile, and the conflict is flagged in the verification notes accompanying the batch report. The record's subject emphasis — multilevel inverters and converters, advanced DC-DC converters, power quality and harmonics, photovoltaic optimisation, microgrid control and power system stability — is a fair sample of what the journal actually publishes most visibly, and the scope sections below begin there before widening to the publisher's full topic list.

Publisher and Journal Character

Seventh Sense Research Group is an Indian scholarly publisher whose journal family, presented at internationaljournalssrg.org, spans engineering, computing, science and humanities titles, each built around a subject acronym in the same way IJEEE is. SSRG-IJEEE is the family's electrical and electronics title. The publisher describes it as an interdisciplinary, application-oriented journal offering researchers, professionals, industrial practitioners, scientists, engineers, technicians, graduate students and scholars a place to disseminate original contributions, and its stated objective is to provide a forum for discussion and testing of techniques of modelling, calculation and experimental validation, and for the development of new electrical devices and systems with improved technical, economic and environmental performance.

Two features of that self-description match the journal as it appears in the wild. First, application orientation: a large share of IJEEE papers are build-and-test papers — a converter built, a controller simulated and implemented, a monitoring system deployed — rather than purely theoretical treatments. Second, breadth of authorship: the publisher lists author geography across China, Ghana, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, India, Nigeria, Japan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Iran, Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Indonesia, Spain, the Emirates, the United States, Saudi Arabia, France and more, and individual papers confirm the pattern, with recent work from universities in Kenya, Somalia and Chile appearing alongside the journal's large Indian authorship. Volume numbering visible in citations — volume 10 in 2023 and volume 11 in 2024 — places the journal in at least its second decade of publication by the mid-2020s.

The publisher also describes the journal as Scopus indexed. That claim is made here exactly as the publisher makes it, attributed to the publisher, because indexing status changes over time and differs between a publisher's marketing page and the current Scopus source list. Authors for whom Scopus coverage is a formal requirement — for promotion, graduation or funding — should check the current Scopus source list for ISSN 2348-8379 before submitting, and keep a dated record of what they find. That advice applies to every journal in this batch, but it applies with special force to broad-scope, high-volume open access engineering journals, whose indexing is the single most checked and most misrepresented fact about them.

Scope: Power and Converters First

Power electronics is the journal's centre of gravity, exactly as the original record's topic list suggests. Multilevel inverters — cascaded H-bridge and diode-clamped topologies, single-source and reduced-switch designs, modulation strategies that cut total harmonic distortion — recur across volumes, often paired with photovoltaic sources, battery storage or motor drives. Advanced DC-DC conversion is the companion theme: buck-boost and hybrid high-gain converters, converters for dynamic voltage restorers, and conversion stages that let a variable renewable source feed a stable load. A reader sampling a single issue should expect several papers in which a topology is proposed, simulated, and then either prototyped or compared against earlier topologies on efficiency, component count and waveform quality.

Power quality and harmonics form the analytical thread that ties those device papers together. IJEEE authors measure and mitigate harmonic distortion, design filters and compensators, and apply controllers — proportional-integral, fuzzy, predictive and model-reference adaptive designs all appear — to keep voltage and current waveforms within acceptable limits as nonlinear loads and inverter-based generation proliferate. Power system optimisation and stability extend the same concern to network scale: load flow, renewable integration, microgrid control, protection and the economics of distributed generation. Papers on semi-autonomous vehicles, for example, have used the journal to publish adaptive control work that sits at the boundary between power, control and embedded systems.

Photovoltaic and renewable work deserves its own mention because it drives much of the converter research. Maximum power point tracking, PV-fed water pumping, hybrid PV-wind-battery microgrids, smart aquaculture and agricultural monitoring powered by solar, and grid integration studies all appear in the journal. The pattern is practical and regional as much as theoretical: many authors write for settings where grid supply is intermittent, diesel is expensive and a well-designed small system changes what a farm, clinic or school can do.

Scope: The Wider Electronics Brief

Beyond power, the publisher's topic list for IJEEE is deliberately encyclopaedic, and the published contents honour it. Analogue and digital electronics, circuit theory, electron devices, microelectronics and photonics, VLSI, embedded systems, sensors and actuators, MEMS and NEMS, flexible electronics, wearable technologies and high-power semiconductors cover the device and circuit side. Antennas and propagation, microwave and millimetre-wave techniques, radar and sonar, radio communication, telecommunications, wired and wireless systems and RF electronics cover the communications side. Electrical machines and transformers, drives and machine design, electric traction and vehicles, high-voltage insulation, HVDC transmission, electrical materials, measurement and instrumentation, condition monitoring and energy conservation cover the heavy electrical side. Signal, image and video processing, artificial intelligence applied to electrical problems, the internet of things and machine learning cover the computational side, and biomedical instrumentation appears as a recognised application area.

A list that long invites a legitimate question: is anything out of scope? On the publisher's own presentation, the boundary is electrical and electronics engineering and its applications in other technical fields, and the journal explicitly welcomes work that applies ideas from electrical and electronics engineering elsewhere. Within that boundary it accepts several article forms, which the publisher enumerates: full-length original research papers, comprehensive reviews on emerging techniques, short communications on novel perspectives, tutorial survey papers, and technical notes on projects, codes and standards. Authors should match form to contribution honestly. A simulation-only topology variant with no validation belongs, if anywhere, as a short communication with its limits stated, not dressed as a full experimental paper.

Two worked illustrations of the journal in use may help readers place it. A Kiswahili text-to-speech system built on Tacotron 2 and a WaveNet vocoder, by authors at Kenyan universities, appeared in volume 10, issue 2 in 2023 — speech technology, far from power engineering, published here because its authors framed it as an electrical and electronic engineering application and the journal's breadth allowed it. A smart aquaculture monitoring system using ESP32 sensors and a phone platform for Mahseer fish farming, by authors in Somalia and Malaysia, appeared in volume 11, issue 11 in 2024 — internet-of-things instrumentation in service of food production. Neither paper would fit a narrow power journal. Both fit the journal the publisher describes, and both are useful reminders that IJEEE's real scope is set as much by its published contents as by its topic list.

Editorial Process and Publication Model

The publisher states that all articles are subject to compulsory double-blind peer review by independent subject experts, and that the fundamental criterion of acceptance is the intellectual and professional worth of the contribution. Authors should therefore prepare submissions as they would for any double-blind venue: an anonymised manuscript file, a separate title page where the system asks for one, no self-identifying phrases in the text, and figures and data files that do not carry author names in their metadata. The journal is published online in numbered volumes and issues through the year, and its articles are individually citable by volume, issue, page range and DOI from the moment of publication.

On access, the journal is presented by its publisher as open access, and its articles circulate freely as PDFs — university repositories and author pages host them openly, as the Glasgow repository record for a 2015 IJEEE vehicle-control article illustrates. The original Journals World record's contrary note on access is treated in this profile as a record error, flagged for correction, not as evidence about the journal. On charges, licences and retention of copyright, the position is not stated in the sources consulted here in a form this profile can quote with confidence, so those details are not publicly disclosed in this profile: check the publisher's current author pages directly before submitting, and keep the acceptance correspondence. Inventing a fee figure for a journal is a disservice to authors, and none is given.

Ethical expectations follow the double-blind, originality-first model the publisher describes. Work must be original, must not be under simultaneous consideration in the form submitted, and must credit prior work it builds on — a point of real weight in converter research, where topologies evolve by small modifications and the duty to cite the topology you modified is the difference between a contribution and a duplication. Data and simulation files should be retained and producible on request. Where a paper reports a prototype, photographs, test conditions and instrument details strengthen it far more than additional simulation plots.

Metrics and Standing, Stated With Their Sources

The Journals World record lists an h-index of 12 for SSRG-IJEEE. Read plainly, that means the bibliometric source behind the record found at least twelve papers in the journal cited at least twelve times each — a modest but real citation footprint, consistent with a broad, young, application-heavy journal whose many papers are read by practitioners who do not themselves publish citing work. It is not a Journal Impact Factor, it is not a Scopus CiteScore, and this profile does not convert it into either. The publisher's Scopus description, noted above, is a claim to check on the current source list, not a metric.

What can be observed directly is continuity and volume: annual volumes running into double figures by 2023-2024, monthly or near-monthly issue numbering in recent volumes, a DOI registered for every article in the modern pattern, and authorship spread across Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and Europe as well as India. For an author choosing a venue, those observable facts answer the practical questions — the journal exists, it publishes steadily, its papers are findable and citable, and its community is international — while leaving the prestige question, correctly, to the author's own institution and its current lists.

Readers evaluating a single IJEEE paper should apply the checks they would apply anywhere in fast-moving engineering literature: is the topology or algorithm compared against the strongest recent alternative, or only against an old baseline? Are simulation parameters fully stated so the result can be reproduced? If hardware is claimed, is there hardware evidence? Are efficiency and distortion figures measured, simulated, or both, and are the conditions stated? The journal contains strong, careful applied work and also routine incremental work, as every high-volume journal does. The unit of quality is the paper, not the banner.

Guidance for Authors and Readers

Authors with a power, renewable, control, instrumentation or broadly electrical paper who need an open access, double-blind venue with a fast-moving issue cycle may find IJEEE a workable home, provided they first verify the two facts that change: current indexing status on the Scopus list for ISSN 2348-8379, and current submission terms on the publisher's own site. Write for the journal you have verified, not for a description on a third-party site — including this one, which is why this profile dates and attributes its claims. Readers should cite the journal in full or as SSRG Int. J. Electr. Electron. Eng. in its SSRG form, include the DOI, and never abbreviate the title in a way that merges it with the other, unrelated journals of similar name discussed at the top of this profile.

A Closer Look at Three Recurring Research Problems

First, harmonic distortion in a grid that is filling with inverters. Every photovoltaic inverter, variable-speed drive and switched supply in IJEEE's pages is also a harmonic source, and the journal's power quality papers return to the same practical questions: how much distortion a given topology produces at a given switching frequency, which filter or compensator removes it at lowest cost, and whether the controller stays stable when the load changes. Readers benefit when authors report distortion before and after mitigation under identical conditions, name the standard limit they are designing to in words rather than assuming it, and distinguish a result obtained in simulation from one measured on hardware. The best IJEEE papers in this line do all three, and they are the ones other authors cite when they design their own comparisons.

Second, the small renewable system as a complete engineering object. A recurring IJEEE contribution is not a converter alone but a working system: a solar pumping installation, a hybrid microgrid for a campus or village, a battery-backed supply for a clinic, or a sensor network for water, soil or fishpond conditions. Such papers succeed or fail on system detail — sizing, component ratings, control logic, cost, maintenance and what happened when the system met real weather and real users. The journal's application orientation is an asset here, because it welcomes the deployment detail that a purely theoretical journal would edit out, and authors should exploit that welcome by reporting failures and adjustments as honestly as headline performance.

Third, control of machines and vehicles under changing conditions. Adaptive, fuzzy and predictive controllers appear in IJEEE for motor drives, robotic manipulators and autonomous vehicles, including a model-reference adaptive system for an unmanned ground vehicle published in the journal in 2015 and later work on legged robots and volumetric reconstruction by the same research community in its pages in 2023. The common problem is credibility of validation: a controller that performs in a simulation of the plant it was tuned on has shown little. IJEEE readers should look, and IJEEE authors should provide, for changes in load, parameters or environment between tuning and testing, because that difference is where adaptive control earns its name.

Taken together, these three problem areas explain why the journal's h-index, modest in absolute terms, understates its practical readership. Converter designers, microgrid installers and instrumentation builders use papers without always writing papers in return, and a journal that serves practitioners will always look quieter in citation counts than in download and repository life, where IJEEE articles demonstrably circulate through university repositories on several continents.
