Guidelines for Authors
Updated: October 14, 2019 (Download PDF)
The IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (T-UFFC) accepts manuscript submissions of Papers, Review Papers, and Letters. To qualify for publication, the submissions must be unpublished, specifically prepared for the IEEE T-UFFC, and not be under consideration elsewhere (see Ethics). It is the responsibility of the corresponding author to obtain consent from all co-authors and sponsors before submission. By submission, authors agree to pay all charges and fees associated with the publication of the manuscript (see Charges and Costs).
Every submitted manuscript must:
1.provide a clear statement of the problem and the proposed solution;
2.clearly explain the significance and the impact of the contribution to the relevant research field;
3.state the novelty and distinction of the current manuscript relative to previously published studies; and
4.provide relevant and recent citations from the most closely related work in the field to put the contribution in context.

Scope
The scope of interest of the IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society includes the theory, technology, materials, and applications relating to:
1.the generation, transmission, and detection of ultrasonic waves and related phenomena;
2.medical ultrasound, including hyperthermia, bioeffects, tissue characterization and imaging;
3.ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and piezomagnetic materials, including crystals, polycrystalline solids, films, polymers, and composites; and
4.frequency control, timing, and time distribution, including crystal oscillators and other means of classical frequency control, and atomic, molecular, and laser frequency control standards. Areas of interest range from fundamental studies to the design and/or applications of devices and systems.
The articles in this journal are peer-reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A). 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. Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced open access APCs.
Prescreening
All manuscripts submitted to IEEE T-UFFC are prescreened immediately after they are submitted and before they are transmitted to reviewers for evaluation [explained in Section 8.2 of the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board (PSPB) Operation Manual]. Manuscripts with limited novelty, insufficient technical content, and poor language will receive an administrative decision of Immediate Reject without being considered for review. Manuscripts must be prepared carefully and written in a clear and concise style in English within the scope of the journal and represent a novel contribution.
I. Types of Submissions
Papers are original research findings with complete disclosure of the techniques and methods for reproducibility. Papers may be of any length and must generally satisfy requirements for completeness. However, any paper in excess of 8 pages (including title, names of authors, abstract, text, figures, tables, appendices, references, and authors’ biographies) will be subject to mandatory overlength page charges. Papers may include Special Issue Papers and Invited Papers, which may have different page limits. Authors considering submitting a 2-part manuscript should first discuss the proposal with the Editor-in-Chief. Experience has shown that it is difficult to find suitable reviewers for the 2-part manuscripts and often the reviewers render a decision to combine manuscripts.
Review Papers are not original research but a coherent collection/accumulation of methods, results, and/or conclusions from different publications on a particular topic with appropriate references to the original research. Review articles can contain figures that have been published elsewhere with permission to reproduce or adapt them for publication. Review articles must include the word “review” in the title. It is the authors’ responsibility to obtain such permission from the copyright holder before the submission of the manuscript and forward it to the Editor-In-Chief. Review papers submitted to the IEEE T-UFFC in excess of 12 pages will be subject to mandatory overlength page charges. Review papers may include Special Issue Review papers.
Letters are short, rapid communications for which timeliness is essential. Letters will be reviewed only for acceptance or rejection to speed up the process. Published letters must occupy no more than 3 pages excluding references.
Errata provide a forum for authors to make corrections to their papers published previously in the IEEE T-UFFC.
II. Manuscript Preparation
Authors should prepare their articles, graphics, and multimedia materials according to IEEE guidelines listed in the IEEE Author Center. Authors publishing for the first time with the IEEE can refer to How to Write for Technical Periodicals from the IEEE Authorship Series while preparing their manuscripts.
Manuscript Formatting & Article Templates
The IEEE T-UFFC stipulates a PDF submission of the manuscript with formatting the same as the published articles in Transactions. This assists reviewers and facilitates Preprinting (pre-edit Rapid Posting). Prepare your manuscript according to the article templates in the IEEE Author Center in double-column and single-spaced format with in-line figures. Instructions for manuscript preparation, document templates for Microsoft Word, and style files for LaTeX users can be found at http://www.ieee.org/publications standards/publications/ authors/author templates.html
Abstract
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.
The abstract must be between 150 and 250 words.
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 because this can result in a page being rejected by search engines.
Ensure that your abstract reads well and is grammatically correct.
Extensions of the Authors’ Prior Work
It is not acceptable to republish your prior work, including journal articles and conference papers. Authors may use conference papers as the basis for a fully developed journal submission, but the new manuscript should clearly specify the novelty of the contribution when citing the prior work. All articles published in IEEE T-UFFC must contain substantial additional technical material with respect to the conference article or articles of which they represent an evolution. Per IEEE Policies, Section 6.4, “IEEE’s technical publications shall include original material which appears only once in the archival literature. Unusual circumstances may allow for exceptions to this policy.” The appropriate procedures to be followed are specified in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board (PSPB) Operation Manual, Section 8.1
English Language Editing Services
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.
III. Submission Via Manuscript Central
Manuscripts are accepted electronically only through Scholar-One Manuscript Central (MC) at http://mc.manuscript central.com/tuffc-ieee.
