Author Guidelines
Author Guidelines
This is the instruction for authors who would like to submit their papers to IEEE Reliability.
Submission Instructions
Authors should send their papers to pierre.dersin@transport.alstom.com with supplementary files.
Manuscript Types
Regular manuscripts fit within the scope of the magazine but are not submitted for a special issue.
Special issue manuscripts cover a specific topic scheduled on our editorial calendar. Please select the appropriate issue (manuscript type) when uploading your manuscript.
For more information and to see upcoming special issue topics, see our Editorial Calendar.
Typing Specifications
The manuscript should be written in Times New Roman in a double-column format. The typical length of the submitted manuscript is 4 single-spaced pages. The text portion of the manuscript should be in 10-point font and the title should be in 24-point font, bold. For more details, please refer to the template.
Manuscript Length
The typical length of the submitted paper is 4 pages, including text, bibliography, and author biographies. Please note that proper citation is required.
Illustrations
The illustrations in the articles must be cited in the text and numbered sequentially. Captions that identify and briefly describe the subject is needed as well. In order to avoid dense and hard-to-read illustrations, graphs should show only the coordinate axes, or at most the major grid lines. Line drawings should be clear. To prevent potential layout problems from happening, related figures described within the same section of text should be grouped together as parts (a), (b), and so on.
References
All manuscript pages, footnotes, equations, and references should be labeled in consecutive numerical order they are mentioned in the text. Figures and tables should be cited in text in numerical order.
Biographical Sketch
A brief biographical sketch should contain the full title of the paper and complete names, affiliations, addresses, and electronic mail addresses of all authors. The corresponding author should be indicated.
Please provide a short biography and a picture for each author of your paper at the end of your paper.
The short biography should contain no more than 150 words.
