Instructions to Authors
Author Guide
This guide is intended to give you the information you need to submit your paper to an IEE Proceedings journal, and to present it in accordance with our requirements.
Pre-screening
All papers are pre-screened to ensure that only the most significant are sent for review. Please ensure that your manuscript satisfies the following points:
-
Originality: is the work scientifically rigorous, accurate and novel? Does the work contain significant additional material to that already published? Has its value been demonstrated?
-
Relevance: is the material appropriate to the scope of the journal to which it is submitted?
-
Motivation: does the problem considered have a sound motivation? Does the paper clearly demonstrate the scientific interest of the results?
-
Referencing: has reference been made to the most recent and most appropriate work? Is the present work set in the context of the previous work?
-
Clarity: is the English clear and well written? Poorly written English may obscure the scientific merit of your paper. Are the ideas expressed clearly and concisely? Are the concepts understandable?
-
Manuscript submission
All submissions to IEE Proceedings journals must be uploaded using Manuscript Central.
Original papers should be submitted as a single file that includes all figures and tables. The following formats are acceptable for original papers: .pdf, .ps, .doc, and .rtf.
Revised papers should be submitted in their source file format (.doc, .rtf or .tex. files for text and .eps or .tif files for figures). If your paper has been prepared using LaTeX however, please also upload a single .pdf or .ps file of the paper together with the LaTeX source file and the figures.
If the paper is intended for a specific Special Issue, please make this clear when uploading your paper.

Pre- and postprint policy
The author(s) and/or the organisations for whom the work was performed shall be entitled to
post preprints of their work on the author's web site, the author's employer's server and the server of any other body contributing financially to the research reported, as long as:
-
Access to such servers is not for commercial use and does not depend on payment of access, subscription, or membership fees.
-
The following wording clearly appears on the front page of the preprint: 'This paper is a preprint of a paper submitted to [journal] and is subject to IEE Copyright. If accepted, the copy of record will be available at IEE Digital Library. On acceptance, this may be changed to: 'This paper is a preprint of a paper accepted by [journal] and is subject to IEE Copyright. When the final version is published, the copy of record will be available at IEE Digital Library'. -
If the paper is rejected, then all mention of the journal should be removed.
-
The preprint should be removed if a subsequent postprint is posted.
The author may also post postprints of their work (reviewed, revised and accepted for publication by the IEE) on the author's web site and the author's employer's server and the server of any other body contributing financially to the research reported, as long as:
-
Access to such servers is not for commercial use and does not depend on payment of access, subscription, or membership fees.
-
The following wording clearly appears on the front page of the postprint: 'This paper is a postprint of a paper submitted to and accepted for publication in [journal] and is subject to IEE Copyright. The copy of record is available at IEE Digital Library'. -
The postprint must be the author's version and not the IEE's version/PDF.
-
The postprint must not be posted prior to publication of the paper by the IEE and when posted any preprint version should be removed.
Any questions should be addressed to the publisher (journals@iee.org)
Manuscript presentation
Length
Original research papers submitted to IEE Proceedings journals should conform to the IEE Proceedings Length Policy document. Review articles should not, generally, exceed 10,000 words.
Layout
Papers must be typed in a font size no smaller than 10 pt, and presented in single column format with double line spacing on one side A4 paper. All pages should be numbered.
Authors should not copy the format of the published journal. All accepted papers will be copyedited and typeset according to the IEE Proceedings house-style.
Language, spelling and grammar
All papers must be written in UK English. If English is not your first language, you should ask an English-speaking colleague to proofread your paper. Papers that fail to meet basic standards of literacy will be declined immediately by the editors.
Acronyms and abbreviations
Acronyms and abbreviations should be clearly defined on their first occurrence in the text by writing the term out in full and following it with the abbreviation in round brackets.
Title
This should be concise but informative and should not include a subtitle. Titles should not begin with words such as "a", "novel", "new" or "the".
Author affiliations
These should immediately follow the title. For multiple-authored articles, list the names of all the authors, followed by the full postal and email addresses, using identifiers to link an author with an address where necessary. If an author's present address is different from the address at which the work was carried out, this should be given as a footnote.
Abstract
This should be informative and suitable for direct inclusion in abstracting services as a self-contained article. It should not exceed 200 words.
It should indicate the general scope and also state the main results obtained, methods used, the value of the work and the conclusions drawn. No figure numbers, table numbers, references or displayed mathematical expressions should be included.
Headings
Papers should be divided into numbered sections, subsections and, if necessary, subsubsections (e.g. 3, 3.1, 3.1.1, etc.).
Fonts
Vectors and matrices should be displayed in bold and variables in italic. Italics should not be used for emphasis.
Figures and figure captions
Figures will be reproduced exactly as supplied, with no redrawing or relabelling. It is therefore imperative that the supplied figures are of the highest possible quality. The preferred format is encapsulated postscript (.eps) for line figures and .tif for halftone figures with a minimum resolution of 300 dpi (dots per inch). Figures and a list of figure captions should be provided in a separate section at the end of the manuscript. Each figure should be explicitly referred to in the text. Figures should be referred to in numerical order.
Colour should be used only where absolutely necessary for an understanding of the paper. We reserve the right to make a charge for colour printing in certain cases. Colour should not be used for distinguishing data in line diagrams.
Figure captions should be as concise as possible.
Figure keys should appear in boxes within the figure itself.
Figures with multiple sections should be labelled (a), (b), (c), etc.
Use a comma to separate quantities from units on figure axes, e.g. "time, ms".
Characters, subscripts and superscripts used in figures should be consistent with those in the text.
Tables
Each table should be referred to explicitly in the text. Tables should be referred to in numerical order.
Avoid the use of unusual mathematical characters or graphical material in tables, since the markup language may not be able to reproduce this. If your table contains such material, it will be set as a figure.
Algorithms
Algorithms should not be boxed and should be set as normal text, not as a figure or a table.
Computer code
Computer code will be set in two columns. This means that a long line of computer code may have to be separated into several lines when typeset. Please take this into account when writing any code. Code may be typeset in the form of a figure to enable full-page-width.
Mathematics and equations
When writing mathematics, avoid confusion between characters that could be mistaken for one another, e.g. the letter 'l' and the figure one.
Equations should be capable of fitting into a two-column print format. Vectors and matrices should be in bold and variables in italic.
If your paper contains superscripts or subscripts, take special care to ensure that the positioning of the characters is unambiguous.
Exponential expressions should be written using superscript notation, i.e. 5x103 not 5E03. A multiplication sign should be used, not a dot.
Refer to equations using round brackets, e.g. (1)
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments should appear as a separate section between the Conclusions and References sections.
References
IEE Proceedings journals use the Vancouver (numerical) system for references. You should number your references sequentially through the text, and each reference should be individually numbered and enclosed in square brackets (e.g. [1]).
Please ensure that all references in the Reference list are cited in the text and vice versa. Failure to do so may cause delays in the production of your article.
Please also ensure that you provide as much information as possible to allow the reader to locate the article concerned. This is particularly important for articles appearing in conferences, workshops and books that may not appear in journal databases.
Please provide all author name(s) and initials, title of the paper, date published, title of journal or book, volume number, editors (if any), and finally the page range. For books and conferences, the town of publication and publisher (in parentheses) should also be given.
Appendices & supplementary material
Additional material, e.g. mathematical derivations that may interrupt the flow of your paper's argument should form a separate Appendix section.
(However, authors are encouraged to submit additional material as online supplementary material. This should be uploaded as an additional PDF during submission.)
Do not use appendices to lengthen your article unnecessarily. If the material can be found in another work, cite this work rather than reproduce it.
Copyright
Completed " Publication Agreement and Assessment of Copyright" and "Statement of Originality" forms are required for all papers. These should be emailed, posted or faxed to the Editorial Office (address given on the form) once you have uploaded your paper.
The forms should be signed by all authors. If this is not practical, the corresponding author may sign on behalf of all authors by indicating this next to their signature.
If you wish to make use of previously published illustrations, diagrams or photographs in your paper, you must first obtain the written permission of the copyright holder concerned (usually the publisher) before incorporating the work in your article. The source of the material must also be acknowledged in full.

Proofs and reprints
Proof correction
After your paper is accepted, we will upload the page proof of your paper to our website and will send you an email notifying you that it is available for viewing. We ask you to return your corrections within three working days or sooner. Note that your paper will be published online in advance of printed publication and it is therefore in your interest to return your corrections to us as soon as possible.
We work to a tight production schedule and for this reason may publish your paper without your corrections if the proof reaches you during an absence of which we have not been informed or if the corrections are not returned sufficiently quickly. Alternatively, your paper may be postponed to a future issue
Requests for last-minute corrections, i.e. amendments to the original manuscript, may be denied at the managing editor's discretion, particularly if these are likely to delay publication. Major changes-of-mind, e.g. rewriting of whole sections, is not permitted at this stage.
We prefer that you return your corrections by email, although corrections may also be sent by first-class post, airmail or fax. We prefer that you do not make annotations to the PDF file itself. Corrections should be indicated in list form by giving the precise location of each correction (page and line number).
Complimentary journal copies and permissions
Once the paper has been printed, we will send the corresponding author a complimentary copy of the issue in which the paper appears.
Permissions to reproduce articles published in IEE journals should be emailed to journals@iee.org
