Author's responsibilities
The submitting/corresponding author warrants that his/her contribution is original; that it has not been published before and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere; that it does not infringe upon any copyright, trademark, or patent rights, and that if the contribution includes material of others, the author(s) has/have obtained the permission of the copyright owners in all such materials to enable them to grant the rights contained herein; that nothing in the contribution is obscene or libellous;
In case a previous version of the paper has been presented at a conference (under the same or similar title), detailed information about the conference should be provided during submission. The version submitted to AEEE should contain a substantial amount of novel material compared to the conference version (roughly, at least 40% more). A paper that has already been published in another journal cannot be reprinted in AEEE.
It is the responsibility of each author to ensure that papers submitted to AEEE are written with ethical standards in mind. Authors affirm that the article contains no unfounded or unlawful statements and does not violate the rights of third parties. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation.
Reviewer’s responsibilities
Reviewers are required to provide written, competent and unbiased feedback in a timely manner on the scholarly merits and the scientific value of the manuscript.

Reviewers should alert the Editor to any well-founded suspicions or the knowledge of possible violations of ethical standards by the authors. Reviewers should recognize relevant published works that have not been cited by the authors and alert the Editor to substantial similarities between a reviewed manuscript and any manuscript published or under consideration for publication elsewhere, in the event they are aware of such. Reviewers should also alert the Editor to a parallel submission of the same paper to another journal, in the event they are aware of such.
Reviewers must not have conflict of interest with respect to the research, the authors and/or the funding sources for the research. If such conflicts exist, the reviewers must report them to the Editor without delay.
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the Editor without delay.
