TRANSACTIONS papers are
those judged suitable for publication in the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRY
APPLICATIONS by authorized Paper Reviewers of the Technical Committee (TC) and
Operating Department having the scope for that paper. A paper can be given
this status only as the result of the unbiased judgment of reviewers who are
competent in the field of interest covered by the paper. This papers review
process is necessary to select the best papers from those which come into the
Society each year. Also, the budgetary constraints of the IAS limit the number
of papers that can be published in the TRANSACTIONS to typically the best 25
to 30 percent of the papers that come before each TC. This percent figure is
modified from time to time to fit budgetary limitations. Publication in the
TRANSACTIONS makes the material widely and permanently available to practicing
engineers, researchers, historians, and others. The difference between a paper
accepted for conference use only and a paper accepted for TRANSACTIONS is that
the TRANSACTIONS paper meets all the requirements of a conference paper and is
among the best of the papers presented at that conference. A TRANSACTIONS paper
should be an original work, and should not have been presented or published
previously, except at conference sessions and Conference Records of entities
of the IAS, or of conferences cosponsored by IAS. Submission for publication
in the TRANSACTIONS presumes that the paper is not being considered for
publication elsewhere and is not under review by any other publication. In
rare cases in which the Paper Reviewers judge the paper to be of extremely
high quality and the field of interest to be that of most IAS TRANSACTIONS
readers, a paper published elsewhere will be considered for use in the
TRANSACTIONS. In such cases the TRANSACTIONS Editor should be informed by the
Paper Reviewers of the desirability of such an exception. The Editor will
instruct the authors in the extra steps that must be taken in these regards
after first receiving approval from the Department Vice Chairman - Papers. IAS
Conference Presentation First Policy IAS policy normally
requires all TRANSACTIONS papers to have first been presented at a Conference
sponsored or cosponsored by the IAS, or by an entity of IAS. Where the
author(s) are unable to be present personally to present their paper at such a
Conference, alternative arrangements for such presentation must be made
between the author and the Session Organizer. A.
Submitting a Paper for TRANSACTIONS Review
Once
a paper has been presented at an IAS-sponsored Technical Conference, it may be
reviewed for possible publication in IEEE Transactions on Industry
Applications or the IEEE Industry
Applications Magazine. This review is conducted by the Technical
Committee having scope for the subject of the paper. The paper may enter this
review process by one of several routes:
B.
Format Because the
requirements for TRANSACTIONS papers may be different in many aspects from
those used for conference papers, authors of papers accepted for TRANSACTIONS
will receive a letter of acceptance containing a list
of items and information needed to enter the paper into the TRANSACTIONS
publication schedule. Authors of conference papers are urged to use a word
processor, personal computer, or other means of storing the text in memory
whenever possible. Use of an electronic form of manuscript preparation is now
almost mandatory, as an electronic copy of the text is required of the author
of a paper prepared for TRANSACTIONS publication. Since TRANSACTIONS
papers are prepared for publication by the IEEE Transactions/Journals
Department by inserting the electronic text into a style template used for
many IEEE TRANSACTIONS, the exact format of the manuscript is less important
than the accuracy and completeness of the text. It is not necessary to
duplicate the appearance of a paper in TRANSACTIONS. Either of the following
formats may be used for papers accepted for publication in IAS TRANSACTIONS:
Maximum
length of
TRANSACTIONS papers: Nine
printed pages including all figures and tables is the maximum number of pages
normally acceptable for TRANSACTIONS. Refer to Paragraph IV-E for equivalent
pages for the two Conference paper formats used in IAS Conferences. Papers reviewed and
recommended by the Papers Reviewers that meet all the requirements for
publication in TRANSACTIONS will be submitted by the TRANSACTIONS Editor to
IEEE Publications Department for editing and preparation for publishing. Such
manuscripts will contain all revisions found necessary by both the author and
reviewers. Manuscripts prepared and submitted directly by authors for use in
TRANSACTIONS will be forwarded by the TRANSACTIONS Editor to the Technical
Committee or Operating Department having the scope for that paper. Items
and Information Required for
TRANSACTIONS Papers An author who is
notified that his paper has been approved for the TRANSACTIONS must send the
required items and information to the TRANSACTIONS Editor within six weeks
following such notification. reproduction is used IAS Transactions. For a
complete list of the information necessary for publication, see Information
and Material Needed to Schedule Your Approved Paper for Publication in IAS
Transactions. It is important that
all correspondence with the TRANSACTIONS Editor (and, later, with IEEE
Transactions/Journals Editorial Department) includes the title and paper
number(s) assigned to the paper. Also, as insurance against the loss of
originals in the mail, or any other mishap, the author should retain a copy of
all manuscripts (including original photographs and other art work),
revisions, correspondence, and related documents to provide a means of
reconstruction of the paper and associated documents should such become
necessary. C.
Overlength TRANSACTIONS Papers Overlength TRANSACTIONS
papers are those that exceed nine printed TRANSACTIONS pages. Use of
overlength papers results in fewer papers being published over an extended
time period, due to budgetary constraints. Authors of overlength papers may be
requested to condense their paper to not exceed the nine TRANSACTIONS pages
limit. The following are the criteria to use in judging the number of
TRANSACTIONS pages a paper will use.
Page proofs of all
papers or articles accepted for publication in the IAS TRANSACTIONS or in the IEEE
Industry Applications Magazine, are sent to the Corresponding Author
for checking prior to publication. The instructions accompanying the proof
should be followed carefully and, in particular, the corrected proofs should
be returned by the date indicated. Alterations should be limited to the
correction of errors. Any editor's queries marked on the proof should be
answered. Information for
ordering reprints of a technical paper appearing in the TRANSACTIONS or in the
IEEE Industry Applications Magazine,
will accompany the proofs sent to the author. D.
