Publication of ISAF

Note: only ISAF attendees (see your account information, not abstract information!) can submit their manuscripts to IEEE proceedings, but they cannot submit papers to JJAP, Ferroelectrics or Ceramics International (see Important Restrictions).


Two publications of the 2018 ISAF:

IEEE Proceedings
2018 ISAF Special Issue of the IEEE Trans. UFFC


IEEE Proceedings

IEEE-ISAF in IFAAP2018 publishes IEEE proceedings. ISAF attendees of IFAAP are highly recommended to submit the manuscript of proceedings according to the instruction below:

○ The work described by the paper should be the same as that accepted for the presentation at the conference, including paper title, authors, and affiliations.

○ At least one author must be registered and present the work at the conference in order for the paper to be eligible for consideration in this publication. We will regretfully decline publication if a presenting author is not registered and/or not attending the conference.

○ There will be no peer review of content but the conference committee will make the final decision on the acceptance of the paper in case the paper preparation did not adhere to the guidelines.

○ All submitted final manuscript should have a maximum of 4 pages (A4 size), including figures, tables and references.

PUBLICATION OF ARTICLES IN IEEE PERIODICALS BASED UPON IEEE CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS GUIDELINES FOR UFFC AUTHORS
IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control>
IEEE’s technical publications shall include original material, which appears only once in the archival literature. Nevertheless, it is common in technical publishing for material to be presented at various stages of its evolution by publishing early ideas in a workshop, more developed work in a conference, and most fully developed contributions as journal or transactions articles. IEEE recognizes the importance of this evolutionary publication process as a significant means of scientific communication and fully supports this publishing paradigm, but IEEE requires that this evolutionary process be fully referenced. Accordingly, the publication in an IEEE periodical of original technical material contained in a conference article or articles is permitted provided that:

1. The manuscript contains substantial additional technical material. This must be justified based on one or more of the following: new theoretical or experimental results, enhanced modeling and characterization, descriptions of new applications, better placing the study in its context, greater depth of discussion, more elaborate analysis of results and additional references.
2. The conference version(s) must be declared when submitting the journal paper in two places: (i) in the cover letter to the Editor-in-Chief together with a specific statement describing the differences between the submitted journal manuscript and the original conference paper (ii) in the journal paper through an appropriate citation to the conference paper(s). The conference paper(s) must be uploaded as supporting document(s).
3. The conference version(s) must be declared when submitting the journal paper in two places: (i) in the cover letter to the Editor-in-Chief together with a specific statement describing the differences between the submitted journal manuscript and the original conference paper (ii) in the journal paper through an appropriate citation to the conference paper(s). The conference paper(s) must be uploaded as supporting document(s).
4. IEEE policy now requires that all IEEE content be screened for possible plagiarism. Therefore, all submissions will be screened via CrossCheck ? which compares submitted manuscripts against a large database of published technical papers (as well as over 6 billion Web pages), and provides editors with a summary report that highlights any similarity to previously published work.
5. If responding to a Special Issue call:
a. All special issue manuscripts shall undergo the standard peer review process.
b. The article should be identified as Manuscript Type “Special Issue” during submission.
c. Late manuscripts may or may not be included in the special issue, depending on whether the review of the manuscript is completed in time for the special issue. The special issue will not be delayed to accommodate late manuscripts. Manuscripts with incomplete reviews shall be included in a subsequent regular issue, if accepted.
6. For full IEEE Publications Policy and further details concerning material reuse please see sections 8.1.7 and 8.2.4.G of the IEEE Publication Services and Products Operations Manual http://www.ieee.org/documents/opsmanual.pdf
