Instructions to Authors of Papers submitted to the Transactions on Consumer Electronics
The primary purpose for publishing the Transactions of the Consumer Electronics Society is to present to the membership and the engineering community in general, papers on new technology oriented to Consumer Electronics that are relevant, interesting, enlightening, and instructive in the field of mass-market Consumer Electronics. New technology does not simply mean new product development, although it does not preclude new product development where unusual technical achievement has been attained. The key factor is the emphasis placed on technology rather than product. All papers must clearly describe how it applies to Consumer Electronics.
