IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology
TNANO Information for Authors
Version 3.3 (Revised June 2021)
These instructions supersede any conflicting information that may be found on IEEE web pages, which sometimes are not up to date.
The IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology (TNANO) publishes novel and important results in engineering at the nanoscale. It focuses on nanoscale devices, systems, materials and applications, and on their underlying science. It is an interdisciplinary journal that covers all areas of nanotechnology. Accepted papers are published on the web as soon as they are submitted in final form. Web-published papers have a DOI (Digital Object Identifier), and are fully citable and downloadable. Nanotechnology is evolving rapidly and swift publication is necessary to ensure that authors submit their best work. Fast publication is achieved through TNANO’s entirely electronic submission and review process.
TNANO publishes Regular papers and Research Letters. Regular Papers normally are 4 to 6 printed pages in length, and take longer to process than Research Letters that are 3 printed pages in length. Manuscripts of a tutorial or review nature are welcome, and treated as Regular Papers. Potential authors of reviews or tutorials are advised to contact the Editor-in Chief (EiC) before submission, to ensure that the topic is judged timely and desirable by the ENANO Editorial Board.
Authors are requested to declare at the time of submission which of the following areas best describes the contents of their papers:
Nano and Molecular Electronics,
Circuits and Architectures,
Nanomagnetism and Spintronics,
Nanooptics, Nanooptoelectronics and Nanophotonics,
Nanorobotics and Nanoassembly,
Nanosensors and Nanoactuators,
Nanomechanics and NEMS (nanoelectromechanical systems),
Nanobiotechnology and Nanomedicine,
Nanofabrication and Nanolithography,
Nanometrology and Characterization,
Computational Nanotechnology,
Other.
Selection of the correct area is important since this information is used to route the papers to the appropriate members of the Editorial Board. Failure to specify an area or selection of “other” as an area are likely to slow down the review process.
Information for TOC Graphical Abstract
Each manuscript must include an abstract graphic for the table of contents (TOC). The Graphical Abstract should capture the essence of the article without providing specific results, so that the readers can determine the content and importance of the manuscript at a single glance. Detailed information can be found here.
Ethical Issues
Manuscripts should be original, previously unpublished work not currently submitted to any other publication. It is the responsibility of the authors, not the IEEE, to determine whether disclosure of their material requires the prior consent of other parties and, if so, to obtain it. If authors make use of charts, photographs, or other graphical or textual material from previously published material, the authors are responsible for obtaining written permission to use the material in the manuscript.
IEEE defines plagiarism as the use of someone else’s prior ideas, processes, results, or words without explicitly acknowledging the original author and source. Plagiarism in any form is unacceptable and is considered a serious breach of professional conduct, with potentially severe ethical and legal consequences. Self-plagiarism is also unethical. If authors have used their own previously published work(s) as a basis for a new submission, they are required to cite the previous work(s) and briefly indicate how the new submission offers substantively novel contributions beyond those of their previously published work(s). Extended versions of preliminary papers that have appeared in conference proceedings are acceptable, provided that they satisfy the conditions mentioned just above (i.e., citation and substantial novelty).
Multiple submissions to different journals are unacceptable. This applies to the entire period in which a paper is under TNANO review. It is the responsibility of the authors to clearly spell out the differences of their submitted papers with similar content, and any common part should be clearly indicated. If in doubt, please contact the EiC.
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 (https://pspb.ieee.org/images/files/files/opsmanual.pdf). Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-blind 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.
