WHY PUBLISH
WITH IEEE?
TRANSACTIONS ON MEDICAL IMAGING
» Impact Factor* in the range 3.5–4.0.
» Top Journal in its fi eld.
» In top 10% of journals in six other fi elds.
» No page charges on nominal-length papers offered
traditionally.
* The Impact Factor is a measure of the average number of citations per paper to articles appearing in the previous two years of issues.

IEEE publishes annually about one-third
of the world’s learned literature in the
technical fields we cover. This includes
more than 130 technical journals and over
1,000 conference transactions each year.
IEEE technical publications are among the most cited journals
and are promoted and sold world-wide.
» Authors can choose whether their work will be open
access (freely available to anyone). IEEE technical
journals contain both open-access papers and traditional
access papers.
» All published work is fully peer-reviewed, which not only
ensures the work is timely, impactful, and credible, but
typically helps authors to enhance both the content and
presentation of their work.
» The publication workflow, including peer review, is
web-based, which facilitates rapid progress through
the system, and also allows authors to keep track of a
manuscript’s status.
» IEEE provides a number of online tools to assist authors
in preparing their manuscripts, such as providing article
templates, validating references, checking graphics, and
submitting copyright forms.
» Articles are typically published online after a timely review
process, so dissemination does not have to be delayed
until an issue goes to print.
» Authors are free to post the accepted, (not published)
version of their article on their personal web sites or those
of their employers subject to appropriate notices.
» Seven million downloads each month is strong evidence
that the IEEE Xplore® digital library provides authors with
the “findability” they seek.
» IEEE maintains active partnerships with abstracting and
indexing providers such as Elsevier, Thomson Reuters,
ProQuest, IET, and NLM to maximize the discovery of
author works.
» IEEE Xplore® is indexed by Google™, allowing Google
search results to include links to IEEE Xplore®.
» IEEE journals and conference proceedings receive nearly
three times the patent citations of competing publishers,
which gives IEEE authors a distinct mark of credibility
within their field of interest.
» Consistent quality and high demand make IEEE
publications trusted sources for researchers in
corporations, academia, and government.
TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE
» In the area of Nuclear Science and Technology, TNS
consistently ranks in the top five (as determined
by impact factor in the Journal of Citation Reports)
out of approximately 30 journals in this topical area,
indicating that the work published in TNS is valued
by other researchers.
» Total downloads of papers from TNS are in the top 10% of
all downloads from IEEE’s Xplore®, indicating wide interest
and distribution of the work published there.
» TNS does not impose page charges on authors of nominal
length papers.
» On-line access is free to NPSS members.
TRANSACTIONS ON PLASMA SCIENCE
» In the area of Plasma Science, TPS is consistently ranked
in the top five (as determined by impact factor in the
Journal of Citation Reports) out of approximately 15
journals in this topical area, indicating that the work
published in TPS is valued by other researchers.
» Total downloads of papers from TPS are in the top 20% of
all downloads from IEEE’s Xplore®, indicating wide interest
and distribution of the work published there.
» TPS does not require page charges from authors of
nominal length papers.
