how to submit research paper in ieee

5 Easy Steps to Submit an Article

• May 12, 2023

Authors who publish with IEEE via their institution’s open access agreement benefit from an easy and convenient process to publish OA with IEEE, as it simplifies the publishing process by paying for open access article processing charges (APCs) for authors who do not have access to research funds. To get started, here are 5 easy steps to start the publishing process:

• Once you find a publication you would like to submit a paper to, click “Start New Submission” to start the submission process and follow the manuscript system prompts.
• In the Author and Affiliations submission step, begin to enter the name of your institution in the “edit account information” screen and select from the results that are displayed along with the corresponding Ringgold ID.
• If your article is accepted and you publish your article as open access, you will receive an email notification regarding APC payment processes and next steps.
• Your institution’s open access administrator will receive and review a funding request for your article.
• In order to ensure accurate processing, please be sure to use your institution’s name from the dropdown menu as well as your own institutional email address during submission.

A few quick tips to help you get published under your institution’s OA Agreement:

When submitting to a gold fully open access journal, simply accept the open access terms and charges during submission. For hybrid journals, select the option to publish open access after your paper has been accepted and choose a CC-BY or CC-BY-NC-ND license.

Please note that although the system states “If you select yes, you commit to pay the APC (Article Processing Charge)” you will not be charged the APC if an open access agreement exists with your institution. The system will recognize the corresponding author’s affiliation and email domain and automatically send a request to the open access administrator at your institution. You will receive an email once a funding decision has been made by your institution. If you have any questions about this process, please contact your open access administrator at your institution.

Preparing Your Article

Article acceptance requirements.

The criteria for an article to be accepted for publication in IEEE Access include:

• The article must be original writing that enhances the existing body of knowledge in the given subject area. Original review articles and surveys are acceptable, even if new data/concepts are not presented.
• Results reported must not have been submitted or published elsewhere (although expanded versions of conference publications are eligible for submission).
• Experiments, statistics, and other analyses must be performed to a high technical standard and described in sufficient detail.
• Conclusions must be presented clearly and supported by the data.
• Article must be written in standard English with correct grammar.
• Appropriate references to related prior published works must be included.
• The article must fall within the scope of IEEE Access . To help you decide, you should consider if the article topic falls within the umbrella of IEEE topics of interest.

Avoid Plagiarism and Duplicate Publication

Each article submitted to IEEE Access is scanned for plagiarism, including similarity to an author’s own work.

Article submissions that plagiarize another author’s work will be rejected from IEEE Access , and cases will be reported to the IEEE Publishing Ethics Team. For more information on the appropriate way to cite other authors’ work, please click here.

IEEE Access accepts expanded versions of an author’s own referenced conference articles, as long as the similarity is less than 35%. In such cases, authors are expected to describe the connection in the manuscript and disclose it in the cover letter.  If the overlap is higher (effectively duplicate publication) or the source article is not referenced, the article will be rejected.

Reuse of an author’s own thesis or dissertation is allowed, as long as it is cited and has not been published elsewhere.

For reuse of an illustration from a copyrighted material in your review article, you must obtain permission from the copyright holder and cite and properly credit the source references, especially in the caption of the illustration.

Preprints of authors’ articles to their own web site, their employer’s site, or to another server that invites constructive comment from colleagues and provides a publication time stamp are allowed. Upon publication of an article by IEEE, an author is required to transfer copyright in the article to IEEE, and the author must update any previously posted version of the article with a prominently displayed IEEE copyright notice. Upon publication of an article by the IEEE, the author must replace any previously posted electronic versions of the article with either (1) the full citation to the IEEE work with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), or (2) the accepted version only with the DOI (not the IEEE-published version).

Articles submitted to IEEE Access should not be under consideration for peer review at any other journal (duplicate submission).

Proper Grammar

Proper grammar is a requirement for publication in IEEE Access . Any articles submitted with poor grammar will be immediately rejected. 

If needed, IEEE Access offers Paperpal Preflight to assist authors with checking their manuscript for any grammar issues prior to submission. Check your manuscript on Paperpal Preflight by clicking here .

Additionally, IEEE Access authors are eligible for discounts at the following language editing services:

• American Journal Experts : 10% discount
• Enago : 30% discount ( review Enago’s services for authors in Chinese )

Guidelines for Artificial Intelligence (AI)-Generated Text

The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content.

The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of the above policy. In this case, disclosure as noted above is recommended.

Preparing and Submitting Your Regular Paper

Important criteria for proceedings regular papers.

Proceedings of the IEEE publishes survey, review, tutorial-type papers that are of broad and long-range interest to the electronics, electrical engineering, and computer science communities.

• Tutorial papers that explain a technology and may give practical information for implementing it. These papers are written for the purpose of informing non-specialist engineers about a particular technology.
• Review or Survey papers that have a common goal to critically examine a technology, highlighting its pros and cons, issues, ramifications, applications, and potential as well as describing its future technological prospects. Surveys should provide a comprehensive coverage of the entire technology from its inception, while reviews should cover in depth one or more of its most important aspects.
• All papers must provide novel insights and new perspectives.
• Prospective authors should be renowned experts in the subject of the submitted paper and have a distinguished publication record in the field. They must have the ability to effectively communicate the technical concepts to a broad audience which includes specialists in related fields.
• Papers that primarily report new results (transactions-type papers);
• Papers that provide a review, survey, tutorial treatment of a niche topic (primarily of interest to a specialized research community); systematic literature reviews that do not provide a critical evaluation of the technology or provide insight into future directions;
• Papers that provide a superficial treatment of the technology.

Preparing Your Regular Paper

Cover Letter : Each regular paper submission must be accompanied by a cover letter outlining the details below. Submissions that do not include a detailed cover letter may be returned without review.

• Description of topic and its importance to a broad audience
• Type of coverage (survey, review, tutorial)
• Explanation on how the paper differs from existing surveys, reviews, tutorials on the topic
• Brief biography of authors highlighting their qualifications for writing the paper, including references to previously published material
• Background citations that extend beyond author’s own work to demonstrate the appeal of the topic to a broad audience

Length of Paper : Proceedings papers tend to be longer than typical transactions-type papers. The typical regular paper is between 20-25 pages long, when formatted using the standard IEEE transactions template. Although there is no page limit, we strongly recommend that papers be no more than 35 pages long, for ease of readability. Additional content may be added as supplementary material, if appropriate.

Grammar : Proper grammar is a requirement for publication in Proceedings of the IEEE . Any articles submitted with poor grammar will be rejected. If needed, IEEE offers a 3rd-party service for language polishing, for a fee: https://www.aje.com/c/ieee (use the URL to claim a 10% discount). Authors may also be interested in using Grammarly, which is a free writing application that can provide feedback on grammar.

Formatting and Style : For detailed instructions on how to prepare your paper, such as IEEE style manual, article templates, frequently asked questions, multimedia, and graphics, visit the IEEE Author Center . Authors can use the standard transactions template for Proceedings of the IEEE . Authors’ photographs and biographies should be included along with the paper. Biographies should not exceed 200 words.

Supplementary Materials : Authors are encouraged to submit supplementary materials (code, data, video, etc.) along with their papers to enhance the information contained in the papers, leading to richer content for readers. Supplementary materials can be submitted in any of the following formats:

• A 2-3 minute abstract video introducing the paper
• A 45 minute to 1 hour video giving in-depth tutorial coverage of the paper
• A code demo or a lab demo involving hardware

Code may be uploaded at submission, revision or after acceptance of the article. For more information, please visit IEEE Xplore / Code Ocean FAQs .

IEEE DataPort : A repository of datasets and data analysis tools. The repository is designed to accept all types of datasets, including Big Data datasets up to 2TB, and it provides both downloading capabilities and access to Cloud services to enable data analysis in the Cloud. For standard dataset uploads, there is no cost to the author. For open access datasets, it is free for a limited time with coupon code OPENACCESS1. For more information, please visit IEEE DataPort .

Supplementary materials will be reviewed and posted on IEEE Xplore with the published articles.

Open Access

Proceedings of the IEEE  is a hybrid journal, allowing either traditional manuscript submission or Open Access (author-pays OA) publication of articles. For more information on IEEE Open Access and Article Processing charges, please visit the IEEE Open site .

Copyright and Plagiarism

Each article submitted to Proceedings of the IEEE is scanned for plagiarism, including similarity to an author’s own work.

• Article submissions that plagiarize another author’s work will be rejected from Proceedings of the IEEE , and cases may be reported to the IEEE Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) department. For more information on the appropriate way to cite other authors’ work, please visit the IEEE Author Center .
• Reuse of an author’s own thesis or dissertation is allowed, as long as it is cited and has not been published elsewhere.
• Preprints of authors’ articles to their own web site, their employer’s site, or to another server that invites constructive comment from colleagues and provides a publication time stamp are allowed. Upon submission of an article to IEEE, an author is required to transfer copyright in the article to IEEE, and the author must update any previously posted version of the article with a prominently displayed IEEE copyright notice. Upon publication of an article by the IEEE, the author must replace any previously posted electronic versions of the article with either (1) the full citation to the IEEE work with a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), or (2) the accepted version only with the DOI (not the IEEE-published version).
• Articles submitted to Proceedings of the IEEE should not be under consideration for peer review at any other journal (duplicate submission).

For information about IEEE copyright and plagiarism guidelines, visit IEEE Intellectual Property Rights .

Peer Review

Proceedings of the IEEE has implemented a peer review procedure designed to ensure high quality and make the best use of reviewer resources. All submitted papers will be prescreened according to IEEE publication guidelines to determine whether they are comprehensible, fall within the scope of the journal, and meet the minimum criteria for technical substance that is established for this journal. The submissions will also be checked for completeness (e.g., details provided in the cover letter, which are evaluated as part of the prescreening process). Only manuscripts that meet the above criteria will be peer reviewed. The prescreening process is coordinated with the assistance of our Senior Editors and is conducted by the editorial board.

The journal uses a single-anonymous review process, meaning that and reviewers’ identities will be kept from authors. If you are contacted by a reviewer during the review process, please contact the Editor-in-Chief .

The review process for the journal is longer than a typical IEEE journal because of the nature of the papers and the requirement to engage senior reviewers who have broad experience in the covered field. Owing to the highly selective nature of the publication, the journal also has a low acceptance rate for regular papers.

The Editor-in-Chief maintains the highest authority of the publication on all editorial matters.

Title: mambaout: do we really need mamba for vision.

Abstract: Mamba, an architecture with RNN-like token mixer of state space model (SSM), was recently introduced to address the quadratic complexity of the attention mechanism and subsequently applied to vision tasks. Nevertheless, the performance of Mamba for vision is often underwhelming when compared with convolutional and attention-based models. In this paper, we delve into the essence of Mamba, and conceptually conclude that Mamba is ideally suited for tasks with long-sequence and autoregressive characteristics. For vision tasks, as image classification does not align with either characteristic, we hypothesize that Mamba is not necessary for this task; Detection and segmentation tasks are also not autoregressive, yet they adhere to the long-sequence characteristic, so we believe it is still worthwhile to explore Mamba's potential for these tasks. To empirically verify our hypotheses, we construct a series of models named MambaOut through stacking Mamba blocks while removing their core token mixer, SSM. Experimental results strongly support our hypotheses. Specifically, our MambaOut model surpasses all visual Mamba models on ImageNet image classification, indicating that Mamba is indeed unnecessary for this task. As for detection and segmentation, MambaOut cannot match the performance of state-of-the-art visual Mamba models, demonstrating the potential of Mamba for long-sequence visual tasks.
