IEEE Systems Journal Information for Authors

IEEE Systems Journal (JSYST) is a quarterly publication.This journal is created to provide a systems-level focused forum for application-oriented manuscripts that address complex systems and system-of-systems of national and global significance.It is intended to encourage and facilitate cooperation and interaction among IEEE societies, and other professional societies, with systems-level and systems engineering interest.The journal is intended to stimulate awareness, appreciation and utilization of systems thinking and the supporting systems engineering disciplines.Themes that will be addressed include complexity, integration, inter-operability, dynamics, communication, effectiveness, ethics and completeness.This publication fills a void un-addressed by most other journals, both within IEEE and outside.Within the scope of this journal, areas of interest include, but are not limited to: energy, management, disaster response, space exploration, manufacturing, automation, communication, information and computer technologies including cyberspace, internet, distributed networks, transportation, environment including earth sciences, socioeconomic, financial, agricultural, biological, medical, services, educational systems, global warming, safety concerns and systems engineering related topics to the System-of-Systems environment.This journal welcomes proposals for special sections on key topics impacting the Globe or regional locations of the Globe as well as joint issues with Council member Societies' publications in an effort to target professionals from industry who may not yet addressed by the IEEE, in the desire to increase IEEE membership from these ranks.These Special Issues and Joint Issues would cut across the societies technical profiles and spreads industrial application-focused systems thinking, which is the primary reason for creating the Systems Council to a wave of a new audience.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.
