IEEE publishes the number one journal in electrical and electronic engineering, IEEE Signal Processing Magazine, according to the 2009 Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Report, released June 2010.  IEEE journals across several technology areas also earned high-ranking in this Impact Factor report.

IEEE placed 16 of the top 20 journals in electrical and electronic engineering — leading the category for another year. IEEE also publishes the number one journal in automation and control systems, computer science-software engineering, and robotics.

According to the 2009 Journal Citation Report, IEEE publishes:

•   16 of the top 20 journals in electrical and electronic engineering

•    9 of the top 10 journals in telecommunications

•    6 of the top 10 journals in computer science, Hardware and architecture

•    3 of the top 5 journals in automation and control systems

•    3 of the top 5 journals in computer science, software engineering

•    2 of the top 5 journals in computer science, artificial intelligence

•    2 of the top 5 journals in robotics

 Journal Citation Reports offer a systematic, objective means to critically evaluate the world’s leading journals. By compiling articles’ cited references, the Journal Citation Reports help to measure research influence and impact, and shows the relationship between citing and cited journals.

Customized sub-site templates are now available to volunteers tasked with producing Web content for an IEEE society, conference or program sub-site.  Designed by the Corporate Web Team, with help from a number of IEEE stakeholders and an outside vendor, the templates provide site maps (starter information architecture documents) and a collection of HTML pages and files for each of the three common types of sites.

This resource is intended to enable IEEE groups to more easily develop cost-effective Web sites that leverage the IEEE brand, adhere to IEEE guidelines and styles, and drive user engagement.

Volunteers can request access to these templates by filling out the contact form.

The 2011 IEEE Technical Field Award Recipients were approved by the IEEE Board of Directors during the June Meeting Series.  These awards are presented for contributions or leadership in the IEEE fields of interest and are presented throughout the year at various IEEE conferences and events.
