Information for Authors
Paper Quality Criteria
Note that the editor-in-chief and topic editors pre-screen manuscripts immediately after they are submitted and before they are transmitted to referees for evaluation. The purpose of such pre-screening is to verify that the manuscript adheres to minimum criteria set forth by IEEE, as well as by the IEEE MTT Society, and the Transactions editor-in-chief. Typical pre-screening measures include the following:
The author(s) have followed the IEEE guidelines for style;
The author(s) have not obviously violated IEEE policies;
The article is comprehensible and meets acceptable standards of English;
The subject and contents of the article meet the scope of the periodical or a specific issue. In this case, is the article of interest to the THz-community;
The article meets a minimum criterion for technical substance established for the periodical, in this case:
New and original articles describing significant work and/or ideas not found elsewhere in the literature;
The Transactions does not accept incremental submissions. All related previous work by the authors must be referenced, even if it was presented in conference;
Theory, measurements, and simulations should be supported by careful comparisons.
Authors should put their work in a context and citing relevant work by others. For instance, authors should cite the most recent papers when comparing performance or characteristics to prior papers. Hence, discuss relevant publications in the introduction and distinguish the new results you present in your current manuscript from those found in previous publications. While there is not a specific criterion that must be met, such as 60% new technical material, the reviewers are asked to determine if the paper provides “sufficient new technical material to justify a new paper” when compared to all previously published papers. This standard must be met by all papers, including papers that are submitted to conference special issues. Please note that the general view is that multiple part papers should be avoided. A paper (or each part) needs to meet all the criteria above, including validation, and stand on its own. Points of attention related to contents:
Authors must ensure that their method section includes adequate experimental and characterization data necessary for others in the field to reproduce their work. Please note that it is also possible to supplement your article with multimedia materials.
A photograph of any component must be included or measurement set-up in the case of papers on characterization techniques.
All papers describing components should include a table that compares the performance to components in the literature.
Whenever possible, theory and corresponding experimental results should be printed on the same graph for easy comparison.
You should include essential information in the caption. If the figure is repeated or is similar to figures that have appeared elsewhere, please add “From [X].”, “After [X].”, or “Data from [X].” to figure captions, as appropriate, where X refers to the prior publication.
Never use acronyms in the title or abstract of your paper and use acronyms sparingly. Avoid jargon – not necessary leaving out technical terms but make sure your language is as clear as possible.
Please do not use the same title for your conference and TTST submission.
Each reference cited must have a complete list of authors (no et al.), complete titles, first and last pages numbers, month and year. In addition, authors are required to include the Digital Object Identifier (DOI).
Article Submission
All articles must be submitted via our submission site at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ieee-thz
Format your article for submission by using the IEEE Transactions article template. The minimum page length for this publication and regular paper is 4 pages, excluding the authors’ photos and biographies. Short papers of three pages or less should be submitted as THz Letters. The article template can be used to estimate your article’s number of formatted pages, but the final count will be calculated by IEEE Publishing Operations after article acceptance.
Submit your article text in PDF format. Visit http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/create-the-text-of-your-article/ for information on writing the abstract, using equations in your article, publishing author names in native languages, and more.
Submit your figures individually in PS, EPS, PDF, PNG, or TIF format. Visit http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/create-graphics-for-your-article/ for information on resolution, size requirements, file naming conventions, and more.
For information on submitting supplementary material such as graphical abstracts, multimedia, or datasets, visit http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/prepare-supplementary-materials-for-your-article/.
Article Template
Format your article for submission by using the Transactions article template, located at http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/use-authoring-tools-and-ieee-article-templates/ieee-article-templates/templates-for-transactions/. Word and LaTeX versions are available.
