1. For conference organizers:  The use of the conference manuscript templates provided by  IEEE eXpress Conference Publishing  will greatly reduce the chance for errors in the metadata visible in IEEE Xplore ® , and IEEE's downstream Indexing partners. Errors may result in delays in posting or in making any approved corrections, or in some cases, may simply persist. Using the templates is one of the ways to reduce errors.

If you wish, you may link to this webpage in its entirety. It is not recommended that you link to individual files, however, because they may be updated or replaced without notice.

2. Grateful acknowledgement is made to the IEEE Computational Intelligence Society, which provided the current LaTeX template.

3. Other templates that more closely align with the IEEE Transactions article format are available.

Structure Your Paper

Learn how to structure your paper for publication. IEEE has put together some tips and best practices for what should be included in your conference paper.

Your paper title should be specific, concise, and descriptive. Avoid using unnecessary words such as “new” or “novel”. Include keywords that will help a reader find your paper.

Provide a concise summary of the research conducted. Include the conclusions reached and the potential implications of those conclusions. Your abstract should also:

• consist of a single paragraph up to 250 words, with correct grammar and unambiguous terminology;
• be self-contained with no abbreviations, footnotes, references, or mathematical equations;
• highlight what is unique in your work;
• include 3-5 keywords or phrases that describe the research, with any abbreviations clearly defined,  to help readers find your paper.

First Footnote

Funding footnote.

If the research reported in your paper was supported by a funding source, include the funder’s name and grant information in a footnote on the first page of the paper.

Human and animal research statements

For papers reporting on research involving human subjects or animals, complete and include one of the following human/animal research statements in a footnote on the first page of the paper:

• Papers That Are Reporting on Human/Animal Research and Have Review Board Approval:   This work involved human subjects or animals in its research. Approval of all ethical and experimental procedures and protocols was granted by (Name of Review Board or Committee) (if provided under Application No. xx, and performed in line with the (Name of Specific Declaration (if applicable/provided)).
• Papers That Are Reporting on Human/Animal Research and Are Exempt From Review Board Approval: This work involved human subjects or animals in its research. The author(s) confirm(s) that all human/animal subject research procedures and protocols are exempt from review board approval.

Refer to the IEEE’s policy on Research on Human and Animal Subjects .

Introduction

Help the reader understand why your research is important and what it is contributing to the field.

• Start by giving the reader a brief overview of the current state of research in your subject area.
• Progress to more detailed information on the specific topic of your research.
• End with a description of the exact question or hypothesis that your paper will address.

Also state your motivation for doing your research and what it will contribute to the field.

Formulate your research question. It should include:

• a detailed description of the question;
• the methods you used to address the question;
• the definitions of any relevant terminology;
• any equations that contributed to your work.

The methods section should be described in enough detail for someone to replicate your work.

Results and Discussion

Show the results that you achieved in your work and offer an interpretation of those results. Acknowledge any limitations of your work and avoid exaggerating the importance of the results.

Summarize your key findings. Include important conclusions that can be drawn and further implications for the field. Discuss benefits or shortcomings of your work and suggest future areas for research.

Acknowledgments

You can recognize individuals who provided assistance with your work, but who do not meet the definition of authorship . The acknowledgments section is optional.

Provide citation information for all the previous publications referred to in your paper. Cite only those references that directly support your work.

Structure Your Article

Learn about the elements that organize a typical IEEE journal article and how to compose your work to help communicate your ideas more clearly.

The article’s title should be specific, concise, and descriptive to help readers decide if they should read the full article.  Use keywords and short phrases to describe the article’s content in as few words as possible.  Avoid terms such as “new” or “novel” since the reader already knows that your research is new and worthy of publication.

Follow the IEEE authorship guidelines when determining who belongs on the author list. 

You may publish your name in your native language, alongside the English version of your name, in the author list if you wish.  The guidelines below are for Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters. All other native language names should be submitted via Unicode characters. In your article’s cover letter, indicate that the article includes author names in native languages.

Be sure to carefully check the rendering of your name in your article during the proof stage before article publication.

Chinese, Japanese, and Korean characters

The following font styles will be used when rendering Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters in the final publication. Use the appropriate font for your native language to avoid potential errors.

• Simplified Chinese: SongMT
• Traditional Chinese: SungMT
• Japanese: MS Mincho
• Korean: Batang

Use Microsoft Word’s Insert Symbols feature to add the correct characters in parentheses after the name of each author who would like to have their name shown in their native language. Use the standard font listed above to ensure accuracy.

When writing in LaTeX, provide the CJK Ascii Unicode for Chinese (traditional or simplified), Japanese, or Korean.

Your abstract should provide a brief summary of the research conducted, the conclusions reached, and the potential implications of those conclusions.

A strong abstract will also:

• Consist of a single paragraph up to 250 words, with correct grammar and unambiguous terminology
• Be self-contained; without abbreviations, footnotes, references, or mathematical equations
• Highlight what is novel in your work
• Include 3-5 keywords or phrases that describe the research, with any abbreviations clearly defined, to help readers find your article

Most authors write the abstract last and edit it multiple times before article publication to ensure it accurately captures the entire article.

IEEE recommends that you do not include mathematical symbols in your article title or abstract because they may not display properly.

Using the right keywords in your article can make your article more easily and reliably discoverable—which leads to a broader readership for your article. For best results, define any abbreviations and, where possible, strive to use standardized keywords. Using the IEEE Thesaurus  can help you find the best standardized keywords to fit your article. Use the  thesaurus access request form  for free access to the  IEEE Thesaurus .

First Footnote

The first footnote is not numbered. All other footnotes in the article are numbered consecutively. Do not use asterisks or daggers. The first footnote (or the author affiliation paragraph) is made up of at least three paragraphs.   

First paragraph

The first paragraph consists of:

• all IEEE-provided received, revised, and accepted dates of the article, as well as the two additional online published dates (i.e., first and final publication dates)
• author-provided name(s) of the corresponding author(s) (as well as names of equally contributed authors or co-first authors, if applicable)
• author-provided full financial support for the work in the article (listed here and not in the Acknowledgment)
• author-provided   information of full or partial prior presentation of an article (referred to as a “paper”) at a conference, including the DOI of the prior presentation, which links to the conference version and not a preprint; if an article is a thesis or part of a thesis or dissertation, this should be noted in the last sentence of the first paragraph
• Articles That Are Reporting on Human/Animal Research and Have Review Board Approval: This work involved human subjects or animals in its research. Approval of all ethical and experimental procedures and protocols was granted by (Name of Review Board or Committee) (if provided under Application No. xx, and performed in line with the (Name of Specific Declaration (if applicable/provided)).
• Articles That Are Reporting on Human/Animal Research and Are Exempt From Review Board Approval: This work involved human subjects or animals in its research. The author(s) confirm(s) that all human/animal subject research procedures and protocols are exempt from review board approval.

Refer to the IEEE’s policy on Research on Human and Animal Subjects .

Second paragraph

The second paragraph consists of author affiliations, including author-provided department, university or corporation, city, state, province or prefecture (if provided), postal code, and country for each author. Note that the country and corresponding author’s e-mail address must be included. All authors may include their e-mail addresses, which would be separated by semicolons.

See IEEE Editorial Style Manual for Authors for detailed examples of author affiliation types for two or more authors, changed affiliation, retired author, deceased author, and consultant.

Third paragraph

The third paragraph consists of an IEEE-provided notice if the article has supplementary materials and/or color figures in the online version.

Introduction

The introduction section includes a review of the existing literature to position your research within the broader scientific field and to show the novelty of your work.  The introduction should also describe the question you’re trying to answer with your research and why that question is important to the field.

Methodology

The methodology section is a straightforward description of what you did in your research and how you did it.  A detailed methodology section will make your article reproducible by other researchers, which helps others trust and build upon your work.

Ensure your mathematical equations and formulas display correctly in your published article by following either the IEEE Math Typesetting Guide for LaTeX Users or the IEEE Math Typesetting Guide for MS Word Users .

The results section describes the results you obtained in your research.  Include figures and tables as appropriate to illustrate your results. Figures can show data trends or other visual information. Tables are best to use when the exact values are important.

In the discussion section, describe what your results mean and how they are an important contribution to the research field.

The conclusion section can highlight potential broader implications of your work and areas that need further study.  Be careful not to inflate your findings.

The reference section is important because all scientific and technical research builds upon previous work. References help give proper credit and attribution to that preceding body of work.  References also support and validate your hypothesis.  Be sure to only cite references that directly support your work. Inflating citations by adding unnecessary references is considered a breach of publishing ethics.

Acknowledgments

The acknowledgments section is where you can recognize and thank those who have helped you publish this article. Here you can thank your funder, someone who supported you during the research project, or the anonymous reviewers who evaluated the article.  The Acknowledgements section is optional but quite common.

Preparing and Submitting Your Regular Paper

Important criteria for proceedings regular papers.

Proceedings of the IEEE publishes survey, review, tutorial-type papers that are of broad and long-range interest to the electronics, electrical engineering, and computer science communities.

• Tutorial papers that explain a technology and may give practical information for implementing it. These papers are written for the purpose of informing non-specialist engineers about a particular technology.
• Review or Survey papers that have a common goal to critically examine a technology, highlighting its pros and cons, issues, ramifications, applications, and potential as well as describing its future technological prospects. Surveys should provide a comprehensive coverage of the entire technology from its inception, while reviews should cover in depth one or more of its most important aspects.
• All papers must provide novel insights and new perspectives.
• Prospective authors should be renowned experts in the subject of the submitted paper and have a distinguished publication record in the field. They must have the ability to effectively communicate the technical concepts to a broad audience which includes specialists in related fields.
• Papers that primarily report new results (transactions-type papers);
• Papers that provide a review, survey, tutorial treatment of a niche topic (primarily of interest to a specialized research community); systematic literature reviews that do not provide a critical evaluation of the technology or provide insight into future directions;
• Papers that provide a superficial treatment of the technology.

Preparing Your Regular Paper

Cover Letter : Each regular paper submission must be accompanied by a cover letter outlining the details below. Submissions that do not include a detailed cover letter may be returned without review.

• Description of topic and its importance to a broad audience
• Type of coverage (survey, review, tutorial)
• Explanation on how the paper differs from existing surveys, reviews, tutorials on the topic
• Brief biography of authors highlighting their qualifications for writing the paper, including references to previously published material
• Background citations that extend beyond author’s own work to demonstrate the appeal of the topic to a broad audience

Length of Paper : Proceedings papers tend to be longer than typical transactions-type papers. The typical regular paper is between 20-25 pages long, when formatted using the standard IEEE transactions template. Although there is no page limit, we strongly recommend that papers be no more than 35 pages long, for ease of readability. Additional content may be added as supplementary material, if appropriate.

Grammar : Proper grammar is a requirement for publication in Proceedings of the IEEE . Any articles submitted with poor grammar will be rejected. If needed, IEEE offers a 3rd-party service for language polishing, for a fee: https://www.aje.com/c/ieee (use the URL to claim a 10% discount). Authors may also be interested in using Grammarly, which is a free writing application that can provide feedback on grammar.

Formatting and Style : For detailed instructions on how to prepare your paper, such as IEEE style manual, article templates, frequently asked questions, multimedia, and graphics, visit the IEEE Author Center . Authors can use the standard transactions template for Proceedings of the IEEE . Authors’ photographs and biographies should be included along with the paper. Biographies should not exceed 200 words.

Supplementary Materials : Authors are encouraged to submit supplementary materials (code, data, video, etc.) along with their papers to enhance the information contained in the papers, leading to richer content for readers. Supplementary materials can be submitted in any of the following formats:

• A 2-3 minute abstract video introducing the paper
• A 45 minute to 1 hour video giving in-depth tutorial coverage of the paper
• A code demo or a lab demo involving hardware

To learn more about how to create an author video, please visit our guide to author videos .

Proceedings of the IEEE has also adopted the following services:

Code Ocean : A cloud-based computational reproducibility platform, integrated with IEEE Xplore that enables IEEE authors to publish their executable code associated with research articles. Code may be uploaded at submission, revision or after acceptance of the article. For more information, please visit IEEE Xplore / Code Ocean FAQs .

IEEE DataPort : A repository of datasets and data analysis tools. The repository is designed to accept all types of datasets, including Big Data datasets up to 2TB, and it provides both downloading capabilities and access to Cloud services to enable data analysis in the Cloud. For standard dataset uploads, there is no cost to the author. For open access datasets, it is free for a limited time with coupon code OPENACCESS1. For more information, please visit IEEE DataPort .

Supplementary materials will be reviewed and posted on IEEE Xplore with the published articles.

Open Access

Proceedings of the IEEE  is a hybrid journal, allowing either traditional manuscript submission or Open Access (author-pays OA) publication of articles. For more information on IEEE Open Access and Article Processing charges, please visit the IEEE Open site .

Copyright and Plagiarism

Each article submitted to Proceedings of the IEEE is scanned for plagiarism, including similarity to an author’s own work.

• Article submissions that plagiarize another author’s work will be rejected from Proceedings of the IEEE , and cases may be reported to the IEEE Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) department. For more information on the appropriate way to cite other authors’ work, please visit the IEEE Author Center .
• Reuse of an author’s own thesis or dissertation is allowed, as long as it is cited and has not been published elsewhere.
• Preprints of authors’ articles to their own web site, their employer’s site, or to another server that invites constructive comment from colleagues and provides a publication time stamp are allowed. Upon submission of an article to IEEE, an author is required to transfer copyright in the article to IEEE, and the author must update any previously posted version of the article with a prominently displayed IEEE copyright notice. Upon publication of an article by the IEEE, the author must replace any previously posted electronic versions of the article with either (1) the full citation to the IEEE work with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), or (2) the accepted version only with the DOI (not the IEEE-published version).
• Articles submitted to Proceedings of the IEEE should not be under consideration for peer review at any other journal (duplicate submission).

For information about IEEE copyright and plagiarism guidelines, visit IEEE Intellectual Property Rights .

Peer Review

Proceedings of the IEEE has implemented a peer review procedure designed to ensure high quality and make the best use of reviewer resources. All submitted papers will be prescreened according to IEEE publication guidelines to determine whether they are comprehensible, fall within the scope of the journal, and meet the minimum criteria for technical substance that is established for this journal. The submissions will also be checked for completeness (e.g., details provided in the cover letter, which are evaluated as part of the prescreening process). Only manuscripts that meet the above criteria will be peer reviewed. The prescreening process is coordinated with the assistance of our Senior Editors and is conducted by the editorial board.

The journal uses a single-anonymous review process, meaning that and reviewers’ identities will be kept from authors. If you are contacted by a reviewer during the review process, please contact the Editor-in-Chief .

The review process for the journal is longer than a typical IEEE journal because of the nature of the papers and the requirement to engage senior reviewers who have broad experience in the covered field. Owing to the highly selective nature of the publication, the journal also has a low acceptance rate for regular papers.

The Editor-in-Chief maintains the highest authority of the publication on all editorial matters.

Post Publication Policies

The Reference List in IEEE

Typical reference list entry, ieee sample reference list.

• Sample in-text reference

Need help? Ask a librarian

At the end of the paper provide full details of all references cited in-text. The reference list should be arranged in the order of appearance of the in-text citations, not in an alphabetical order, beginning with [1], and continuing in consecutive numerical order, from the lowest number to the highest. In the reference list, only one resource per reference number is acceptable.

Publication titles of books and journals are italicised. In publication titles, all ‘major words’ (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and pronouns) are also capitalised. Use lower case for ‘minor’ words, such as conjunctions (and, or, not, but), articles (a, an, the), and prepositions (in, on, near, as, at, by, for, etc.), providing they are not the first word in a title or subtitle. Titles of articles, chapters, etc. are placed in quotation marks, in lower case.

The typical components of a reference list are laid our below. Each reference entry should generally contain the referencing elements in the following order (if one of these elements is not recorded  in the original source, then you can only use the elements provided - do not make others up) :

• Citation number, enclosed within square brackets, is aligned along the left margin. The text of the entry is indented 2 or 3 spaces;
• Author(s) name(s): first names’  initials are placed first, followed by last names;
• Title of the article, book chapter, conference paper or report is typed in double quotation marks, with text provided in lower case;
• Book , Journal or Conference Title is typed in italics. Capitalize the first letter of each important word in the title;
• Publication information: City, State (if U.S.) or Country if City is not well known: Publisher Name, Date;
• Page number(s) if applicable, i.e. if you are referencing a book section, a book chapter in an edited book, or an article. Page numbers are cited as p. for a single page or pp. for multiple pages.

Guidelines for Research Reports and Integrative Lit Reviews   |  Samples of Research  Reports  |  Samples of Integrative Lit Reviews  | Reviewers’ Expectations

About Research Reports  

The most commonly published format in the IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication, these articles report quantitative, qualitative, critical, and mixed methods studies  and their results. Examples include experiments, textual analyses, content analyses, surveys, design research, interview-based studies, usability tests, and ethnographies.

About Integrative Literature Reviews 

A new type of research report actively sought for the IEEE Transactions on Professional Communication, integrative literature reviews are  an empirical research report that systematically collects, classifies, and analyzes a body of literature on a topic.  As part of the research report, authors of integrative literature reviews describe the methodology used to search, choose and code studies, and focus on providing a critique or interpretation rather than just reporting data.  Popular in other disciplines because they succinctly summarize and empirically assess all of the literature on a particular topic, these types of articles are actively recruited by the Transactions .

Guidelines:

Note : We recognize that, in our effort to focus on readers and be clear with authors, our guidelines are extensive and directive. We hope, however, this detailed guidance provides authors with the strongest possible guidance and ensures the most positive outcome possible from the peer-review process.
