Enhanced abstract pages
New streamlined abstract pages have been redesigned with a tabbed approach to help you easily find citations, references, and other related information.
More Cited-By information
Abstracts for IEEE Journal articles as far back as 1929, now include a list of all articles that have cited the document from any publisher participating in the CrossRef Cited-By Linking program. Simply link to the CrossRef site to find the listed article.
Sort by Most Cited
Find articles of high impact quickly when you sort your search results by Most Cited and see the citation count in the article’s metadata.
Personalize your IEEE Xplore experience
With our brand new 3-click registration process, it’s even easier to personalize your experience by logging in with a personal IEEE Account.
An IEEE Account allows you to sign up for saved search and table of contents alerts, set your personal preferences, and take advantage of enhanced features like search history. There is no need to re-register if you have an existing IEEE Account.
Enhanced Browse by Content Type functionality—now with search refinements
Now when you browse by Books & eBooks, Conference Publications, Education & Learning, Journals & Magazines, and Standards, you can narrow your results with search refinements to find the titles you need quickly.
Introducing HTML full-text articles—coming soon in 2012
This dynamic new design, which began with its pilot launch in 2011, will be integrated into IEEE Xplore in 2012. Redefining how IEEE publications are displayed online, IEEE Xplore presents cutting-edge IEEE articles from select publications in an elegant, state of the art, HTML layout that provides a richer and more interactive research experience.
With this design you will be able to:
• Scan and interpret articles in under 60 seconds using “At-A-Glance”
• Navigate between sections of long articles with intuitive floating navigation
• Effortlessly explore text, figures, equations, and multimedia files
• Quickly view and copy mathematical equations, expressions, and formulas
• Enhance your research with “Articles of Influence” reading recommendations
