NCEJ is the pre-eminent academic journal of noise control. It is the International Journal of the Institute of Noise Control Engineering of the USA.
NCEJ reaches noise control professionals around the world, covering over 50 national noise control societies and institutes.
INCE-USA encourages you to submit your next paper to NCEJ. Choosing NCEJ:
Submissions to NCEJ receive thorough review by NCE peers. Final acceptance of any submission is solely based on the outcome of the anonymous peer review process.
As well as Technical Papers, NCEJ accepts Case Studies. Unlike Technical Papers, Case Studies are focused on providing reference-level information for practicing noise control engineers. A Case Study must adhere to the same format and organizational requirements of a Technical Paper as outlined in the NCEJ MS Word Template for Paper Submissions. It must be written clearly and provide a well-organized discussion of a noise control application with strong technical content describing what was done and the effectiveness of the controls.
Acceptable paper topics include submissions related to airborne and structurally transmitted noise. This does not include electric circuit or electromagnetic radiation noise. There is a vast range of topics covered under this umbrella. While it is impossible to provide a comprehensive list, a short summary is provided below.
For a more detailed listing, see the INCE Classification of Subjects.
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in preparing a paper for submission to NCEJ is not prohibited. However, such usage should be limited to support for the authors and not for critical analysis, technical expertise, the evaluation of results, or the development of conclusions from the work performed.
To submit your Technical Paper or Case Study, please go to our online submission site:
https://ncej.scholasticahq.com/
If you have submitted papers before, this is a new site, and you will need to register for this site. It provides a much better process to monitor the progress of your submission, see reviewer responses, and to handle revisions. All reviews and communication take place through this website.
If you are an INCE-USA Member, please note that this is a separate website from the INCE-USA Membership portal, so you will need a separate account.
Advice for Authors: mistakes to avoid in preparing your NCEJ paper
INCE Classification of Subjects
The NCEJ Editorial Team is always looking for professional and knowledgeable reviewers. From Graduate Students to Retirees, we need your help with paper reviews. If you would like to volunteer to be a reviewer for NCEJ, please register on the NCEJ Online Peer Review Site as a reviewer.
If you are an INCE-USA Member, please note that this is a separate website from the INCE-USA Membership portal, so you will need a separate account (if you have not already created one).
Once you have accessed the NCEJ Editorial website, select the Subject Classifications for the types of papers you would prefer to review. Doing so will enable the Editorial Team to select qualified reviewers, and you will receive papers in your areas of interest for review.
