The SAIEE Africa Research Journal
In 2005, the title “SAIEE Transactions” changed to “SAIEE Africa Research Journal”. This journal publishes research, surveys and expository contributions in electrical, electronic, computer, information and communications engineering. Articles may be of a theoretical or applied nature, must be novel and must not have been published elsewhere.
Two types of articles are published.
- PAPERS: Presentation of significant research and development and/or novel applications in electrical, electronic, computer, information or communications
- RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT NOTES: Brief technical contributions, technical comments on published papers or on electrical engineering topics.

As of 2008, the SAIEE Africa Research Journal has received more research articles (from around 20 in 2008,to averaging approximately 50 articles per annum between 2010 and 2012). An increasing number of submissions are now from the international scholarly community, including Asia and the United States of America.
Over the past three (3) years, the journal’s annual acceptance rate has varied between 16 % and 40 %. This remains in-line with international journals of similar stature. The journal publishes original research, where originality is assessed through a peer-review process. Each paper is subjected to two (but usually more) reviewers, primarily from the international engineering and scientific community, and enjoys the reputation of being a primary research journal of electrical engineering and associated fields in Africa.
- The journal was originally established as the “Transactions of the SAIEE” in 1909, whe the SAIEE was formed.
- The journal is listed on the Department of Higher Education and Training's list of Approved South African Journals, and in this way articles are recognized for financial subsidy to higher education institutions in South Africa.
A long-term vision for the journal: priority is being given to indexing on Thomson Reuters (formerly ISI) Web of Knowledge. The journal editorial team recognizes that the procedure relating to this relates to improving our citation index, which aligns to our quest for excellence. For an improved search service experience, the journal, since 2004, is published online.
We call upon researchers to consider the SAIEE Africa Research Journal as a medium for publishing their novel scholarly research, and in this way contribute to the body of published knowledge.
