Instructions for Authors
Revision 9.9. October 6, 2021
Before deciding to submit a manuscript, review TMI’s scope, key acceptance criteria, and review and decision process.
1. Prepare Your Manuscript
1.1. Beware
Your submitted manuscript must be unpublished and is not under consideration elsewhere.
The pre-print version of your manuscript may be posted on third party websites such as arxiv.org. Read IEEE Article Sharing and Posting Policies.
1.2. Limit the overall length to 10-pages
Any initial submission, including references, that exceeds ten pages will be returned without review. This limit is not applicable to resubmissions because authors need to revise the paper in order to address issues raised by the reviewers. The final, accepted version of a paper is usually a few pages longer than the initial submission, meaning it may be more than ten.
Be aware of the over-length charge: final published papers that exceed eight (8) printed journal pages will incur mandatory over-length charges. All papers exceeding eight published pages, including illustrations and references, incur $250/page for pages nine and ten. For pages eleven and up, a $350/page charge applies. The over-length charge also applies to Open Access manuscripts.
1.3. Strictly follow the TMI format
All the formatting details are described in the TMI template file (MS Word, LaTex). Below are a few key formatting requirements:
The author list should only include each author’s name and IEEE membership rank. There should be no superscript tags next to the author names.
Authors’ affiliations, e-mails, and sponsor and financial support acknowledgment should be included in a footnote at the bottom of the first page.
Abstract appears at the beginning and is followed by Index Terms (keywords).
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 a concise, yet comprehensive reflection of what is in your article. In particular:
The abstract must be self-contained without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. It should be a microcosm of the full article.
The abstract must not exceed 250 words.
The abstract must be written as one paragraph and should not contain mathematical equations or tabular materials.
Optional graphical abstract
To enhance the appearance of your article on IEEEXplore®, a graphical abstract can be displayed along with traditional text but it is NOT required for submission.
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 must be submitted for peer review during the article submission process. Please upload the graphical abstract as a supporting document in your submission and mention in your cover letter that “the graphical abstract is included in the supporting documents for peer review”.
Manuscript contents are on double-columned, single-spaced, and justified alignment indented pages.
Figures appear within the main text next to where they are referred.
References should 1) use the format of author names exactly as shown in the reference section of the TMI template file; 2) follow the IEEE convention that lists the names of all authors if there are six or fewer co-authors, otherwise list the first author’s name followed by et al.; and 3) have complete information – for example, a reference of a journal article should include the article’s volume, issue, and page numbers.
TMI does not publish authors’ biographies.
1.4. Write with good English
Non-native English speakers should consider using a professional scientific manuscript editing service.
1.5. Avoid plagiarism
TMI runs every submission through Crossref Similarity Check powered by iTthenticate verifying overlap with all previously published materials. Your paper will be rejected if a high percentage of overlap is found in large, plagiarized chunks even with your own publications.
1.6. Extended from a conference paper
If the manuscript is extended from a published conference paper, 1) upload your cover letter as a Supporting Document that describes the specific additions in the manuscript, and 2) upload your conference paper as a Supporting Document. The extension must be substantial, and the conference paper must be properly referenced.
1.7. Challenge paper
If the manuscript is a Challenge Paper that describes the organization and results of online and grand challenges, it must fulfill the requirements below. Complete the checklist and submit it as a Supporting Document.
The submitting and corresponding author is the organizer of the challenge.
The author list includes at least one person from each of the participating groups.
The manuscript must include the following information about the challenge:
The link to the challenge website where the readers can find more information and results of the challenge.
The objective of the challenge must be described in the same way as stated in the original “call for participation”.
Statement of review process used to select participants for the challenge-paper submission.
Description of evaluation/validation approach, including how gold standards were established.
The web link to the challenge proceeding, where all the challenge papers can be accessed electronically.
A short description and correct citation for each of the participating methods.
The proper permissions must be obtained: the manuscript must include the following information about the challenge:
The manuscript must be verified by a representative of each participating group by providing a signed letter agreeing with the manuscript’s content prior to submission — all these letters must be submitted with the manuscript as supporting documents.
The corresponding author must obtain copyright permission for the material (figures, tables, text) used in the manuscript — if applicable.
