IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking
The IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking enjoys a strong impact factor and approximately 10,000 subscribers. The journal has a commitment to a rapid but thorough review process, a fairly short time from paper acceptance to appearance on IEEE XPlore, and an outstanding editorial board. To authors, the journal offers an attractive vehicle for rapid and wide dissemination of their research results. For readers, the journal is the place to go for the most important, up-to-date research developments in the field. We welcome and encourage the submission of manuscripts for potential publication. All papers submitted should be within the scope of the journal. Papers on social networks, smart grid, or physical layer communications are outside the scope of this journal.
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. 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.
Submission Format and Length
Submitted papers must use two-column formatting with single-spaced text in a 10-point font. Style files are available for Latex and Word. Papers not meeting these guidelines will be returned to the authors for revision before being reviewed. The typical maximum length of submitted papers is 16 pages in the two-column Transactions format. If your paper exceeds this limit, it is preferred that you use the supplementary materials option below to submit the extra pages. Otherwise, you will need to discuss the appropriateness of the length of your manuscript with the Editor-in-Chief before you submit the manuscript. If the EiC agrees with your justification for the length of the paper, you should include this justification in the cover letter and mention in the cover letter that this has been discussed with the EiC. Please see below for information regarding page charges applied to all papers accepted for publication which are over 10 pages in length.
Paper Organization Guidelines
All papers should be written in English. English language editing services can help refine the language of your article and reduce the risk of rejection without review. IEEE authors are eligible for discounts at several language editing services; visit the IEEE Author Center to learn more. Please note these services are fee-based and do not guarantee acceptance.
It is essential that each manuscript be accompanied by an abstract that clearly outlines the scope and contributions of the paper. Introductory discussion should be kept at a minimum and material published elsewhere should be referenced rather than reproduced or paraphrased. Authors should strive for maximum clarity of expression, bearing in mind that the purpose of publication is dissemination of technical knowledge and that an excessively complex or poorly written presentation would obscure the significance of the work described. Care should also be taken in organizing the results such that contributions of the work, as well as a logical, consistent progression of thought are evident. It is strongly suggested that material which is not essential to the continuity of the text (e.g., proofs, derivations, or calculations) be placed in Appendices.
In order for an abstract to be effective when displayed in IEEE Xplore as well as through indexing services such as Compendex, INSPEC, Medline, ProQuest, and Web of Science, it must be an accurate, stand-alone reflection of the contents of the article.
The abstract must be self-contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. It should be a microcosm of the full article.
The abstract must be between 150-250 words. Be sure that you adhere to these limits; otherwise, you will need to edit your abstract accordingly.
The abstract must be written as one paragraph, and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material.
The abstract should include three or four different keywords or phrases, as this will help readers to find it. It is important to avoid over-repetition of such phrases as this can result in a page being rejected by search engines.
Ensure that your abstract reads well and is grammatically correct.
A graphical abstract can be displayed on IEEE Xplore along with traditional text. The graphical abstract should provide a clear, visual summary of your article’s findings by means of an image, animation, video, or audio clip. The graphical abstract is considered a part of the technical content of the article, and you must provide it for peer review during the article submission process.

Guidelines for Prior or Concurrent Submissions
In case a submission contains material which has been previously published in any form, the submission's cover-letter should include specific information identifying such prior publication(s) together with a link to the publication(s), as well as a brief explanation of the differences between the prior publication(s) and the present submission. The previously published work must also be listed as references in the submission.
Papers that have been previously published fully or in part in another journal or book will not be considered for publication in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. Papers that are currently under submission at another journal, book, conference, symposium or workshop will not be considered for publication in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking. Similarly, it is a violation of the journal's policy to submit to another venue any paper, fully or partially, that is under consideration for publication in the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
Failure to comply with this rule will result in immediate rejection of the paper from both venues where it has been submitted with no possibility of future resubmission; IEEE will typically impose a 6 months publication ban on all co-authors of such papers. In addition to the IEEE policies, pre-publication author misconduct such as double-submission or plagiarism will result in a minimum 6 month ban on submissions to fully owned ComSoc publications by the author(s).
Papers published in conference, symposium, or workshop proceedings may be submitted to the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, provided the technical depth is similar to what is expected from a ToN paper. While there is neither a strict guideline regarding how different a submission must be from a previous version nor a minimum requirement for additional or extended material, ToN will typically not republish verbatim copies of conference papers. It is the opinion of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking editorial board that:
Conference submissions are frequently deadline-driven and will often benefit from an additional round of polishing for clarity and quality of presentation.
Conference refereeing or presentation in a public forum will normally result in valuable feedback which should result in meaningful improvement, and which should thus be incorporated into the paper for publication in an archival journal.
The page limits for conference papers are often below ToN's limit of 16 pages (with additional pages possible under exceptional circumstances). Many papers will benefit from the inclusion of additional material or will require additional pages to incorporate feedback.
While ToN does not specify a minimum increment over the conference version, additional technical material is expected as per IEEE policy. This additional material, however, does not necessarily need to include new results, and could be elaboration on existing results, technical proofs, etc.
Authors are required to include with their submission a letter in which they identify all prior publications on which their ToN submission may be based, provide pointers to publicly available versions of those publications, and articulate any changes made to improve and/or expand on those conference publications.
Previously rejected papers cannot be resubmitted to the Transactions. If a paper was rejected with an encouragement for resubmission after substantial revision, ie, as unacceptable in current form, then the authors are required to refer to the previously submitted version in their cover letter and provide a detailed statement explaining how the revised paper is substantially different from the previous submission. This should include a point-by-point response to the reasons for the rejection of the previous version.
