IEEE journals provide submission guidelines in an “Information for Authors” document published in the journal or on a society’s website. According to your target journal, you can find the guidelines on the About tab at the journal’s homepage on IEEE Xplore. Click on Additional Information located in the left column.
If you fail to adhere to the guidelines mentioned in the Information for Authors, it can result in delayed processing of your submission or rejection without review or errors in your published article. If you follow the publication’s guidelines, it will help you to streamline your article’s process via submission and peer review.
Following the mentioned steps, you are eligible to submit your article. Click on the orange Submit Your Manuscript button on the journal’s homepage on IEEE Xplore. This will guide you to the journal’s online submission system and will walk you through the submission process.
