1、TECHNICAL PAPERS Presented at the ASHRAE WINTER MEETING Chicago, Illinois JANUARY 25-29,2003 ASHRAE Transactions: Research is the archival publication of ASHRAE for unsolicited research papers and Society-sponsored research in the HVAC&R technical area. All technical papers undergo critical review b
2、y three or more competent specialists to ensure high quality of content. The ASHRAE Program Committee decides, based on these reviews, whether papers are acceptable, need revision, or should be rejected. The names of the reviewers are withheld from the author and from each other to ensure objective
3、com- ments, which are then transmitted to the author. The procedure for review of ASHRAE technical papers is as follows: 1. Author submits an electronic version of their manuscript through ASHRAE Online using ASHRAE Manuscript Central at www.ashrae.org. 2. Three qualified peer reviewers review the m
4、anuscript, deciding on acceptance, minor changes, mandatory changes, or rejection. 3. Unless a manuscript is immediately accepted or rejected, the author responds to reviewers comments and submits a revised manuscript. 4. The review process will continue a second and sometimes a third time. The goal
5、 is to have all three reviewers accept the paper for publication. The ASHRAE Pro- gram Committee will make final decisions on acceptance or rejection of manu- scripts for publication. 5. Authors whose papers are approved are invited to present their papers at an ASHRAE meeting, and papers are published in the Transactions of that meeting.
