Technical Article Submission Home / Technical Article Submission

EE Times-Asia is a biweekly publication that reaches a qualified subscriber base of more than 60,000 electronics engineers and engineering managers working in China, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and the ASEAN region.
You can send us technical articles and/or technical viewpoints for publication. We do not pay for submitted articles, but we give you and your company full credit in the by-line.

General guidelines for submitting articles

1. Editorial, not advertisement
Your article should focus on providing technical solutions or viewpoints without presenting a promotional pitch for your company or products.

2. Submit an outline
If you feel you can contribute an article to fit the editorial calendar, please send us an outline of the content. Start by stating your objectives. You would normally have one or two objectives, such as:

a) To show how to design... b) Emphasize the importance of...

Follow these objectives with an abstract of what you plan to write. Also, explain why your article will be suitable for an Asian audience. Express yourself within 200 words.

3. Be timely
Plan your submissions with the editors well ahead of publication schedule. Send the abstract at least 100 days before the issue date. Generally, the deadline for submitting final copies is 75 days before publication.

4. Assistance with translations
If your company requires assistance in translating the article from simplified or traditional Chinese, Korean or Japanese into English, please inform the editors well in advance of our deadline for submitting an outline.

5. Presentation tips
  • Not all readers may be familiar with the standards, acronyms, or jargon you use. Explain these in a separate box/table.    
  • Sometimes, you may require a product-specific application to explain a concept. Highlight this as a real-world example (or reference design) in a sidebar (separate block of text) of a few hundred words.    
  • Use short sentences they are easier to translate into Chinese and Korean.    
  • An active voice with a conversational tone will take your article further: use "you", like one engineer talking to another.    
  • Illustrate your presentation to attract reader attention. The figures must have descriptive captions.    
  • Help readers contact you. Include your full name, address, telephone and fax numbers, and e-mail address for interested readers to contact.

6. Copyright issues
Please submit your article to only one publication at a time. If your article has been recently been published and the publisher holds the copyright, ensure you have permission to publish the paper in EE Times-Asia.
