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.
