The deadline for submissions to the inaugural issue of the IEEE Sensors Journal is 1 September 2000. The SSCS is a member of the IEEE Sensors Council, created last year to publish this Journal. The Call for Papers and other relevant information can be found on the Sensors Council Web site: www.ieee.org/sensors. Sensor researchers and users are invited to submit papers and help make the IEEE Sensors Journal the leading sensor publication in the world. Papers on sensor applications are of special interest to the Journal. The IEEE Sensors Journal will begin publication June 2001. The first issue is to consist of a collection of review papers covering a wide range of sensor technologies.
The IEEE Sensors Journal covers the theory, design, fabrication, manufacturing, and application of devices for sensing and transducing physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. With an emphasis on the application of sensors technology, this publication is sure to appeal to a wide audience of engineers. Focusing on the electronics and physics aspects of sensors and integrated sensor-actuators, the IEEE Sensors Journal will cover the numerous sensor technologies spanned by the IEEE as well as emerging sensor technologies.
The IEEE established the Sensors Council in 1999 for the purpose of creating a focus for the sensor activities of IEEE Societies and for starting a high-quality, affordable journal. The Council has 26 member Societies including the SSCS, with a combined membership of 260,000. The major competing journal costs $5,200 per year. The IEEE Sensors Journal subscription price will be $19 per year for IEEE members. The nonmember (institutional) price will be $495 per year. Published bimonthly, beginning with the June 2001 issue, the IEEE Sensors Journal will be a quality, peer-reviewed publication. Members may subscribe to this new Journal when they renew their membership and subscriptions this fall.
