　　IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ENGINEERING MANAGEMENT is a research-based, refereed journal in engineering management, published quarterly since 1954 by the IEEE Engineering Management Society. Its worldwide subscription base is approximately 10,000.The purpose of this TRANSACTIONS is multifold:To assist in the establishment and recognition of the engineering management discipline.To provide the publications medium for authors at the leading edge of engineering management in academic institutions, industrial organizations, government agencies, or other settings.To establish the guidelines and identify the future directions of critical issues in engineering management.To become a forum for the researchers and practitioners of engineering management, regardless of their technical specialties.In order to achieve its purpose, this TRANSACTIONS invites contributions from both the managers of technology and researchers, educators, and students of technical management. The contributions can be conceptual, theoretical, empirical, or situational.Four types of manuscripts are considered for publication:Strategic and Policy Issues include authoritative discussions of research directions and strategic concepts in engineering and technology management.Research Articles present the results of ongoing or completed research, novel applications, or tutorial summaries of the state of the art in engineering and technology management.Technical Management Notes comment on papers previously published, pose critical implementation problems, discuss experiences using published results, and report on the successful and unsuccessful applications of engineering and technology management concepts and methodologies.Focus on Practice papers describe significant application issues, present solutions, and reach conclusions that will have an impact on research and practice of engineering and technology management.Of special interest are studies carried on within an industrial company or a government agency. In such cases, the Editorial Board will be available to advise on the treatment of proprietary data and to provide editorial assistance as needed.All manuscripts are subjected to a review process, and the publication decision is based on the referees' comments.In order to avoid delays in review procedures, the prospective authors are advised to use the following guidelines.A. Submission of PapersThe journal has moved to an electronic submission and review system athttp://tem-ieee.manuscriptcentral.com/.Please designate one corresponding author (if you have more than one author) to submit your manuscript, periodically check the status of the manuscript, and supply information if requested.All communication will be through the corresponding author.The referee process assures the anonymity of the reviewers of your paper. A "double-blind" review process is utilized.Submission of a paper to this TRANSACTIONS implies that the manuscript has not been copyrighted nor accepted for publication (or published) by any other journal, nor is it being refereed elsewhere.B. ManuscriptPrint using a good quality printer, double space, and use one side of sheet only. Good office-duplicated copies are acceptable.Use a clear and descriptive title.Include a 100-200 word abstract at the beginning of the manuscript to give the reader a succinct summary of the paper and to state the principal results and conclusions. The abstract should not contain any concepts or conclusions beyond those discussed in the paper.Write objectively, avoid jargon, define technical terms on first use.Refer to all illustrations (tables and figures) in the text.If you have footnotes, they should be numbered and typed at the bottom of the pages on which they occur. Acknowledgment of financial support should be given as a footnote.Give references as a separate section at the end of the paper, with items eferred to by numerals in square brackets, e.g., [12]. IEEE style should be used in references.Style for papers: author, first initials followed by last name, title of paper, title of publication, volume, issue number, inclusive page numbers, month and year.Style for books: author, title, location and publisher, year, chapter, or page numbers (if desired).Provide a separate sheet listing all figure and table captions in proper style for the typesetter, e.g., "Fig. 1. Time and cost uncertainties in project life cycle."For further information see "Information for IEEE Transactions and Journal Authors" available upon request from IEEE Transactions/Journals, 445 Hoes Lane, P.O. Box 1331, Piscataway, NJ 08855-1331.C. IllustrationsIt is in the authors' interest to submit professional quality illustrations (tables and figures) with sharp lines and good contrast. Drafting or art services are not provided by IEEE.Use black ink on white background for the drawings. Glossy prints of illustrations are also acceptable.Put tables and figures on 8" by 11" sheets.To avoid dense hard-to-read graphs, show only the coordinate axes, not the grid lines.Use large lettering to permit legible reduction of the illustrations to column width, sometimes as much as 4 to 1.Number each original on the back or at the bottom of the front. Captions do not need to appear on the illustrations since they will by typeset as shown on the separate caption list (see Section B-8 above).D. Page ProofsPage proofs are sent to the principal author of the paper prior to its publication. Minor and typographical errors should be corrected according to the instructions enclosed with the proofs. In general, major changes in the original manuscript are not permitted at this stage. To avoid the need for such changes, the authors are strongly recommended to proofread their manuscripts carefully before the final submission.E. CopyrightIt is the policy of IEEE to own the copyright to the technical contributions it publishes on behalf of the interests of the IEEE, its authors, and their employees, and to facilitate the appropriate reuse of this material by others. To comply with the U.S. Copyright law, authors are required to sign the IEEE copyright transfer form before publication.

How do I submit my paper for review, or for publication?A.Visit theIEEE Author Digital Toolbox, which provides general guidelines regarding the submission of text and graphics, as well as templates, and instructions on how to submit multimedia materials. Most of the information is in the form of a convenient, downloadable PDF file.Q. I have a paper I would like to submit for publication, but I don't know which IEEE publication is appropriate. Can you help?A.TheJourmals and Magazinespage provides a listing of our publications and a link to each publication's web page. There, you will find the scope of each publication, contact information for obtaining more details, the frequency of its publication, a description of the topics covered, associated page charges, and contact information such as the Editor-in-Chief, or associate editors. Some publications also supply a link to their Society's web site for more specific information regarding that publication's review and submission processes.Q. Would you please send me an author kit?A.Download the most up-to-date version of our "Information for Authors" kit.EEE "Information for Authors" kit(PDF, 260 KB)Q. Is there a template available for my specific publication?A.The IEEE provides LaTeX and Word templates that can be used for all final submissions. In addition, the IEEE Transactions On Magnetics has supplied a Word template for creating submissions to TMAG. All of these templates are available for download at theIEEE Author Digital Toolboxpage.Some publications do provide information to their authors that is more specific than the IEEE's general guidelines and in some cases customized templates and instructions are provided as well. For links to individual transactions, journals, and letters web pages, please go to theJournals and Magazinespage.Q. I am about to submit my paper for publication and it is in FrameMaker. Is this acceptable? What other formats may I submit my paper in?A.IEEE accepts TeX, LaTeX, Word, FrameMaker, and Rich Text Format (RTF).Q. What are the acceptable formats for submitting graphics for my paper?A.IEEEaccepts Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF files for graphics submission. High-resolution JPGs are acceptable for author photos only (we also continue to accept Postscript, EPS, and TIFF). As part of the production process, all grayscale figures and line art are converted to TIFF format.Image quality is very important to how the graphics will reproduce. Even though IEEE can accept many formats, we generally cannot improve the graphics if they are poor quality when we receive them. If you need further help or have questions, please e-mailgraphics@ieee.org.Q. I'd like to have some or all of the figures in my paper in color. How can I determine what those charges will be beforehand?A.The following are the basic charges for color:$1,045.00 US for printing charges (four or fewer color pages)$2,090.00 US (four to eight pages)$3,135.00 US (nine to twelve pages)$125 US per color image (i.e., if you have two color figures the charge would be $250 US, $1,045)Please note that these are costs for color printing and DO NOT include page charges or reprint charges, which must be paid separately. Once your paper is received at the IEEE, a staff editor will contact you with specific instructions on how to procedd with color figures.If your decision is to include color graphics, we will require that you send us as soon as possible, a faxed copy of the purchase order reflecting the amount due or an email with the following details of your credit card: Name as it appears on credit card, credit card number, type of credit card (Visa/ Mastercard etc.) expiration date, and amount to be charged.We require that you notify us, as soon as possible, if your decision is to have all graphics in black and white.Color art can be processed only after we receive either the purchase order or the credit card details.Q. What are the publication charges associated with my accepted paper?A.The answer depends on your publication's page charge policy, including any overlength charges. To find out this information, download "Instructions for Authors on Reprints and Special Charges" It also depends on how many reprints you order, and of course any color charges if you have figures in your paper that you choose to have printed in color.If your journal has overlength page charges, then you will need to estimate the number of pages in your paper. The number of pages can be estimated two ways: counting all the pages in your submitted work (including figures, pages of text, pages of figure captions, references, bios, author photos, etc.) and divide the total by 3. Or, you can use the IEEE style template to preformat your work, including figures and tables, in order to give you a more accurate page estimate.Q. May I have an update as to the status of my submitted paper?A.Please contact the editorial office of the journal to which you submitted your work for information regarding where it is in the submission process.Q. Where can I obtain a list of keywords to include in my paper?A.Send a blank email tokeywords@ieee.orgto receive a list of suggested keywordsManuscript Proof ProcedureQ. When will my paper be available for my review?A.Please emailtrans@ieee.orgor your staff editor and we will provide the status.Q. What form will my proof copy take? Will it be emailed to me?A.Your proof will be in IEEE format, and once your paper is ready for review, you will receive an email notification that contains a unique weblink, login ID, and password. Once you log in to the website, you will have access to a high-resolution PDF for download and review. Please note that unless requested by the corresponding author, proofs are sent only this way, not by fax or regular mail.Post-Publication and Reprint InformationQ. I have not yet received the reprints of my paper. Whom can I contact to find out their status, or for a problem or question I have regarding my invoice?A.You may send an email toreprints@ieee.orgfor information regarding your reprints. Please supply the six-digit digital object identifier (DOI) number located at the top of the reprint form, and the bottom of your paper's first page.Q. My paper is not yet posted on IEEEXplore. When will it be posted?A.Please contactonlineproducts@ieee.orgfor questions regarding the IEEEXploredigital library.Q. What is the current IEEE policy regarding article-by-article posting, also known as "Rapid Posting," and when the papers will be available online?A.Rapid Posting is simply the early online publication of your work in theIEEEXploredigital libraryprior to it appearing as a printed paper. These papers typically appear under the "Forthcoming" section on publications' web pages. Since not all journals participate in Rapid Posting, you will need to seek out the web page for a particular publication to see whether they have Rapid Posting available. For more information, you can also contact your staff editor or your editor-in-chief.Q. Once I see my paper in the IEEEXploredigital library, and I see an error I forgot to correct in the review stage, what can I do?A.IEEE policy is that the version in the IEEEXploredigital library is the version of record, and can not be changed. If you feel the oversight affects the accuracy of your work, then you will need to contact the staff editor who sent you the proof copy and ask that a correction be run in a subsequent issue of the publication.Q. When will my paper be available in print? Also, when will my printed, bound copy arrive? Will all my co-authors receive copies as well as myself?A.Please email to:trans@ieee.orgor your staff editor and we will provide the status. You will need to check the web page for your publication to find out whether your co-authors will receive complimentary copies of the printed publication.General InformationQ. How do I subscribe to a publication?A.Contact the Customer Service Department of the IEEE atcustomer-service@ieee.orgQ. I have some material in my paper that has been used in a non-IEEE publication. Do I need formal permission to print this material in my IEEE paper?A.Please visit theIEEE Intellectual Property Rightswebsite for more information:Q. I have read a published paper and I think there are errors in it, specifically with the technical content or calculations made by the author. Who should I contact should I wish to submit a letter pointing out the error, and suggesting a correction to the information be made?A.Please go tothe journals and magazines listing pagefor contact information on each publication.Q.
