The IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems is published quarterly and solicits, with particular emphasis on emerging areas, special issues on topics that cover the entire scope of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society, namely the theory, analysis, design, tools, and implementation of circuits and systems, spanning their theoretical foundations, applications, and architectures for signal and information processing.
The papers are expected to contain new results, ideas, or innovations that advance significantly the state-of-the-art. Submission of a contribution is taken to manifest the fact that the submission has not been submitted, accepted, published, or copyrighted elsewhere.
JETCAS only publishes papers that are submitted in response to a specific Call-for-Papers. These calls are listed on the Call-for-Papers page.
Peer Review
The articles in this journal are peer-reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual. Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-anonymous peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.
Author FAQ
Visit the IEEE Author Center, which provides general guidelines regarding the submission of text and graphics, as well as templates, and instructions on how to submit multimedia materials. Most of the information is in the form of a convenient, downloadable PDF file.
The Journals page provides a listing of our publications and a link to each publication’s Web page. There, you will find the scope of each publication, contact information for obtaining more details, the frequency of its publication, a description of the topics covered, associated page charges, and contact information such as the Editor-in-Chief, or associate editors. Some publications also supply a link to their Society’s Web site for more specific information regarding that publication’s review and submission processes.
The IEEE provides LaTeX and Word templates that can be used for all final submissions. In addition, the IEEE Transactions on Magnetics has supplied a Word template for creating submissions to TMAG. All of these templates are available for download at the IEEE Author Center page.
Some publications do provide information to their authors that is more specific than the IEEE’s general guidelines and in some cases customized templates and instructions are provided as well. For links to individual transactions, journals, and letters Web pages, please go to the Journals page.
IEEE accepts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF files for graphics submission. High-resolution JPGs are acceptable for author photos only (IEEE also continues to accept Postscript, EPS, and TIFF). As part of the production process, all grayscale figures and line art are converted to TIFF format.
Image quality is very important in how the graphics will reproduce. Even though IEEE can accept many formats, graphics cannot improve if they are of poor quality when received. If you need further help or have questions, please e-mail [email protected].
There is a flat rate of $275 for each color figure in the paper (including subfigures).
Please note that these are costs for color printing and do not include page charges or reprint charges, which must be paid separately. Once your paper is received at the IEEE, a staff editor will contact you with specific instructions on how to proceed with color figures.
If your decision is to include color graphics, IEEE will require that you send as soon as possible, a faxed copy of the purchase order reflecting the amount due or an e-mail with the following details of your credit card: Name as it appears on credit card, credit card number, type of credit card (Visa/ Mastercard etc.) expiration date, and amount to be charged. Notify IEEE, as soon as possible, if your decision is to have all graphics in black and white.
Color art can be processed only after IEEE receives either the purchase order or the credit card details.
The answer depends on your publication’s page charge policy, including any over-length charges. To find out this information click here. It also depends on how many reprints you order, and of course, any color charges if you have figures in your paper that you choose to have printed in color.
If your journal has over-length page charges, then you will need to estimate the number of pages in your paper. The number of pages can be estimated two ways: counting all the pages in your submitted work (including figures, pages of text, pages of figure captions, references, bios, author photos, etc.) and divide the total by 3. Or, you can use the IEEE style template to preformat your work, including figures and tables, in order to give you a more accurate page estimate.
Please contact the editorial office of the journal to which you submitted your work for information regarding where it is in the submission process.
