About the journal
The IEEE Transactions on Reliability is a refereed journal for the reliability & allied disciplines, such as maintainability, safety, and various measures of effectiveness. Topics eligible for publications range
- from hardware to software,
- from materials to systems,
- from consumer & industrial devices to manufacturing plants,
- from individual items to networks,
- from techniques for making things better (e.g., chemistry & physics of failure to ways of predicting/measuring behavior in the field.
Instructions to Authors
Manuscripts: Authors must submit 1 legible copy of all written & illustrative material; please do not submit more than 1 copy. Manuscripts must be "typed" double-spaced on only 1 side of each sheet, with one page-wide column. Do NOT submit in camera-ready format! If the text is composed/typeset, the line spacing must be 3 lines/inch and the type-size 12 points. Paper size must be A4 or 8.5 x 11 inches (21.5 x 28 cm); trim if necessary. All non camera-ready material (abstract, biographies, footnotes, references, figure captions, etc) must be double-spaced (3 lines/inch or 24-point spacing). This enables the editors to annotate the manuscript.
Each manuscript must include the following three things (in the indicated order) at the front of the paper:
- Key Words: See a recent issue of Transactions for the content & style of this section. (Reader Aids have been discontinued.)
- Summary & Conclusions: The Summary portion answers the question, "What did you accomplish?" and is based on information in the manuscript. It is not the place to introduce new thoughts, data, or analysis. The Conclusions explain why the results are useful and why the work is of interest to the reliability community. Equations and reference numbers may not appear here. The length must not exceed 1 manuscript page.
- Introduction: The Introduction puts the paper into perspective for the reader. What are you doing? Why are you doing it? What methods did you use? What is the sequence of the presentation? Equations should be avoided in the Introduction. An Acronym list and a Notation list should be included if acronyms and math-notation are used in the manuscript.
References: The list of references must be numbered consecutively and should include (in the following order) author name(s), title, journal (or book & publisher), volume, year & month of publication, inclusive page numbers.
Illustrations: Line drawings are preferable to photographs. All line drawings (e.g., graphs, charts, block diagrams, cutaways) must be black and white, clear, free of extraneous marks, and be ready for scanning/conversion to an electronic file. Only the main coordinate lines ought to show in graphs; the original graph paper usually has too many lines on it. Use lettering large enough to stand reduction, in most cases to a 3.50 inch (89 mm) column width. Show the figure numbers on each illustration. All drawings & photographs must meet the size requirements in Manuscripts.
Author(s): Use an Acknowledgement to credit the people who helped with the research but did not write the paper.
Enclose a current biography in narrative format; each biography must be less than 1/2 manuscript page and all together must fit on 1 manuscript page. Provide the exact/complete mailing address (including title, if desired) in the exact format for copying directly onto an envelope. See the Managing Editor's address above for an example. ALWAYS list the country. Internet (e-mail) addresses are published if available.
Refereeing: The names of referees are not made known to authors. Likewise, papers are identified to referees only by title and an assigned unique serial number. Thus, authors who wish to be anonymous to referees need only leave their names off the manuscripts. If the authors' names are not on the manuscript, they must be provided on a separate sheet.
Accepting Paper and Electronic File: After a paper is accepted for publication (by both the Associate Editor and the Managing Editor), the Managing Editor requests an electronic file. We prefer TeX or LaTeX. WordPerfect is the next choice. Receiving such a file is essential for reasonable processing of the paper.
Voluntary Page Charges: The page proofs of an accepted paper are accomplished by the white form, 'IEEE Voluntary Page-Charges & Reprint-Order Form'. A separate sheet gives more detail about them. While your response does not affect publication, we strongly encourage you to see that the Voluntary Page Charges are paid. If paid, you will receive (no extra charge) 100 reprints of the published paper.
General: Material not accepted for publication will be returned upon request. Look at previous issues for style of referring to equations & references, as well as for general style. Look at the remainder of this Information for Readers & Authors for some notation & nomenclature standards.
JARGON
Some words are used in specialized, narrowly defined statistical sense¡ªnot the meaning ordinarily assumed by engineers. In order to avoid confusion (for the authors & readers), such words must be preceded by s-; examples are s-normal (Gaussian), s-bias, s-significance, s-independent, and s-confidence. At times, an author wishes to give a specialized, narrow definition to other words in order to make the paper more compact & exact. Such terms are italicized, or converted to proper nouns or acronyms. There must be a one-to-one correspondence between a concept and its name¡ªyou are writing a technical paper, not a novel.
