Abstracting and Indexing

Abstracting and Indexing, or secondary publishers, are independent third parties who are generally focused on a specific discipline and have independent editorial and business terms.

Currently, we are working to establish formal relationships, allowing us to provide direction for deeper coverage of IEEE content, particularly for conference proceedings. Each A&I partner makes its own editorial decision on what content it will index. IEEE cannot guarantee that an abstract or index entry will be included in any database.

The IEEE Conference Acquisition Program makes every reasonable attempt to ensure abstracts and index entries of content accepted into the program are included in databases provided by independent abstracting and indexing services, such as Elsevier's Ei Compendex, IET's Inspec and Thomson Reuters' Web of Science.

For Elseview’s EI Compendex, abstracts and index entries for article submission are only considered for inclusion if (1) your submission is available as a full-text article in PDF format (submissions converted from multimedia formats such as Microsoft PowerPoint do not constitute full-text article); and (2) your submission includes an author-submitted abstract. 

So that your authors may be made aware of this process and comply with the agreed-upon format, please make this information available to your authors via your website and Call for Papers.
