IEEE and IBM Announce Agreement to Publish IBM Journals in IEEE Xplore ® 7 October – IEEE and IBM today announced a publishing agreement to disseminate some of the leading technical articles and papers in computer hardware, software and information systems to a wider audience of researchers and interested readers around the world. The IBM Journal of Research and Development, which now includes the IBM Systems Journal, is one of the top-cited journals in the field and addresses the latest advancements in computer science. Beginning in the first quarter of 2010, all papers ever published in the IBM journals will be available exclusively in the IEEE Xplore digital library. “IBM is proud to join with IEEE in the combined publication of the IBM Journal of Research and Development and the IBM Systems Journal beginning in 2010,” said John Ritsko, editor-in-chief, IBM Technical Journals. “With more than four million users coming to IEEE Xplore each month, this collaboration will achieve the widest possible distribution for technical readers as well as enable efficient and sustainable publication of these leadership journals.” The IBM Journal of Research and Development and IBM Systems Journal, which have been published online since 1998, merged into one fee-based online publication in 2009. The production of future editions of the current publication, the IBM Journal of Research and Development, will be handled by IEEE. IBM will be responsible for the content acquisition and peer review, while IEEE assumes the article production, copy editing, data conversion, online hosting and maintenance. “The IBM journal is the #3 cited journal in computer science, hardware and architecture according to the 2009 ISI Journal Citation Report and IEEE Xplore contains some of the most highly cited technical journals in the world. By adding high quality content such as the IBM Journal of Research and Development, IEEE Xplore continues to be one of the most robust and valuable technical libraries on the market today,” said Tony Durniak, staff executive, IEEE Publications. The research community will have the opportunity to purchase single IBM journal articles via IEEE Xplore or a subscription package to the entire journal, including all issues ever published, starting in1957. IEEE members and digital library subscribers also will be able to add the journals to their current subscription packages. About IBM Journal of Research and Development The journal was launched in 1957 by Thomas J. Watson Jr., IBM president and CEO, who viewed it as “a strong indication of the increasing emphasis we at IBM want to place in the future on fundamental science and technology.” In 1962 as the computer industry grew, the IBM Systems Journal was added to report advances in software, software systems, and eventually services. These peer reviewed journals have provided corporate professionals, academic faculty and students with technical descriptions of key concepts, architectures, and engineering principles that form much of the basis of today’s information technology industry. As such, the IBM journals are among the most cited journals in computer science. About IEEE IEEE, the world’s largest technical professional society, is commemorating its 125th anniversary in 2009 by “Celebrating 125 Years of Engineering the Future” around the globe. Through its more than 375,000 members in 160 countries, IEEE is a leading authority on a wide variety of areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power and consumer electronics. Dedicated to the advancement of technology, IEEE publishes 30 percent of the world’s literature in the electrical and electronics engineering and computer science fields, and has developed nearly 900 active industry standards. The organization annually sponsors more than 850 conferences worldwide. Additional information about IEEE can be found at http://www.ieee.org.
