IEEE JOURNAL OF ELECTRON DEVICES SOCIETY

Aims & Scope

IEEE JOURNAL OF THE ELECTRON DEVICES SOCIETY (J-EDS) is an Open-Access, fully electronic journal which is published monthly. It comprises original and

signiﬁcant contributions relating to the theory, design, performance and reliability of electron devices, including optoelectronic devices, nanoscale devices, solid-state

devices, integrated electronic devices, energy sources, power devices, displays, sensors, electro-mechanical devices, quantum devices and electron tubes. Tutorial and

review papers on these subjects are also published and occasional special issues appear to present a collection of papers which treat particular areas in more depth

and breadth. Because J-EDS is an Open Access title, on-line access is accessible to technical professionals worldwide at no charge. Submission of a manuscript

amounts to the assurance that it has received proper clearance from all authors listed, from the authors’ companies or institutions where required, that it has not been

copyrighted, published, or is either under review or accepted for archival publication elsewhere while under consideration by J-EDS. In cases where thereisevena

potential for signiﬁcant overlap between the manuscript and previous work, it is the responsibility of the author(s) to provide references to pertinent previous publication

and copies/preprints of manuscripts undergoing pre-publication review elsewhere. Failure to do so will compromise the peer review process and render such papers

ineligible for publication.

Open Access

This journal is 100% open access, which means that all content is freely available without charge to users or their institutions. All articles are published under a CC BY

4.0 license, and the author retains copyright. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any

other lawful purpose, as long as proper attribution is given.

Open access is provided through the payment of an article processing charge (APC) paid after acceptance. APCs are often ﬁnanced by an author’s institution or the

funder supporting their research.

The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A). Each

published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-blind peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known

to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.

*Articles accepted before 12 June 2019 were published under a CC BY 3.0 or the IEEE Open Access Publishing Agreement license. Questions about copyright policies

or reuse rights may be directed to the IEEE Intellectual Property Rights Ofﬁce at +1-732-562-3966 or mailto: [email protected].

Corresponding authors from low income countries are eligible for waived or reduced APCs.

Ethics

All IEEE authors are expected to adhere to IEEE’s publishing ethics, including the deﬁnition of authorship,theappropriate citation of sources,theaccurate

reporting of data, and the publishing of original research. Visit the IEEE Author Center to learn more. All articles submitted for publication should be original and not

under consideration elsewhere; if your article is based on a previous publication such as a conference proceeding, cite the original publication and clearly indicate how

the articles differ. Contact the Editor-in-Chief with any questions on publishing ethics.

Article Submission

• All articles must be submitted via our submission site at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/jeds.

• Format your article for submission by using the article template, located in the IEEE Author Center. [Word and LaTeX versions are available.]

• Submit your article text in PDF format. Visit the IEEE Author Center for information on writing the abstract, using equations in your article, publishing author names

in native languages, and more.

• Submit your ﬁgures individually in PS, EPS, PDF, PNG, or TIF format. Visit the IEEE Author Center for information on resolution, size requirements, ﬁle naming

conventions, and more.

• For information on submitting supplementary material such as graphical abstracts, multimedia, or datasets, visit the IEEE Author Center.

Plagiarism

All submissions will be checked for originality using the plagiarism detection software CrossCheck. Manuscripts that are found to have plagiarized others; copying

someone else’s work without appropriate credit, that contain a signiﬁcant crossover with another manuscript by the same authors or other author(s); copying or reusing

of one’s own prior work without appropriate citation, or that do not speciﬁcally cite prior work, are subject to penalty under the IEEE policies governing publications. For

more information on these policies please visit: pspb.ieee.org/images/ﬁles/ﬁles/opsmanual.pdf

ORCID

All IEEE journals require an Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) for all authors. ORCID is a persistent unique identiﬁer for researchers and functions

similarly to an article’s Digital Object Identiﬁer (DOI). You will need a registered ORCID to submit an article or review a proof in this journal. Learn more about ORCID and

English Language Editing Services

English language editing services can help reﬁne the language of your article and reduce the risk of rejection without review. IEEE authors are eligible for discounts at

several language editing services; visit the IEEE Author Center to learn more. Please note these services are fee-based and do not guarantee acceptance.

Native Language Author Names

IEEE supports the publication of author names in the native language alongside the English versions of the names in the author list of an article. For more

information, please visit the IEEE Author Digital Tool Box at the following https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-journal-article/create-the-text-of-

your-article/publishing-author-names-in-native-languages/

Share Your Code and Data

Increase the impact of your work by sharing your code and data for others to view, build upon, and reuse. IEEE works with Code Ocean, a cloud-based computational

reproducibility platform, to make your code discoverable. IEEE DataPort, an online data repository of datasets and data analysis tools, makes your datasets discoverable.

Visit the IEEE Author Center for more information.

IEEE Author Tools

Preparing your article for submission is easy with IEEE Author Tools. Tools are available to help you ﬁnd the right publication for your research, check the quality of

your graphics, validate your LaTeX ﬁles, and verify your reference list.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

Upon acceptance for publication, the author(s) will be required to pay a charge of $1350 for up to eight pages, plus $120 per printed page thereafter. These fees are

to cover the cost of publication and providing free, universal access to all. The outstanding reputation and high quality of JEDS depends in part on honoring of these

charges. Detailed payment instructions will accompany the page proof request.

Post-Acceptance

If your article is accepted for publication, you will receive emailed instructions regarding your next steps. You may be asked to upload ﬁnal production-ready ﬁles.

Detailed instructions for preparing electronic ﬁles are available at: ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/ create-your-ieee-article/ Shortly after ﬁnal ﬁles are uploaded, you will receive

your article proofs for ﬁnal review, along with instructions on how to review your proofs and submit any corrections. Please note that major changes to your article, including

the list of references, are not permitted after the article is accepted for publication. Please contact the Editor-in-Chief if you have any doubts about whether a modiﬁcation

you wish to make is appropriate.
