The IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters (RA-L) publishes peer-reviewed articles that provide a timely and concise account of innovative research ideas and application results, reporting significant theoretical findings and application case studies in areas of robotics and automation.

IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine is a unique technology publication which is peer-reviewed, readable and substantive.  The Magazine is a forum for articles which fall between the academic and theoretical orientation of scholarly journals and vendor sponsored trade publications.  IEEE Transactions on Robotics and IEEE Transactions on Automation Science and Engineering publish advances in theory and experiment that underpin the science of robotics and automation.  The Magazine complements these publications and seeks to present new scientific results to the practicing engineer through a focus on working systems and emphasizing creative solutions to real-world problems and highlighting implementation details. The Magazine publishes regular technical articles that undergo a peer review process overseen by the Magazine's associate editors; special issues on important and emerging topics in which all articles are fully reviewed but managed by guest editors; tutorial articles written by leading experts in their field; and regular columns on topics including education, industry news, IEEE RAS news, technical and regional activity and a calendar of events.

IEEE Security & Privacy’s primary objective is to stimulate and track advances in security, privacy, and dependability and present these advances in a form that can be useful to a broad cross-section of the professional community—ranging from academic researchers to industry practitioners. It provides articles with both a practical and research bent by the top thinkers in the field of security and privacy, along with case studies, surveys, tutorials, columns, and in-depth interviews and podcasts for the information security industry.

Through special issues, the magazine explores other timely aspects of privacy in areas such as usable security, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, cryptography, and big data. Other popular topics include software, hardware, network, and systems security, privacy-enhancing technologies, data analytics for security and privacy, wireless/mobile and embedded security, security foundations, security economics, privacy policies, integrated design methods, sociotechnical aspects, and critical infrastructure. In addition, the magazine accepts peer-reviewed articles of wide interest under a general call, and also features regular columns on hot topics and interviews with luminaries in the field.

According to the IEEE Sensors Council's constitution, "The fields of interest of the Council and its activities shall be the theory, design, fabrication, manufacturing and application of devices for sensing and transducing physical, chemical, and biological phenomena, with emphasis on the electronics and physics aspects of sensors and integrated sensor-actuators." The IEEE Sensors Journal focuses on the numerous sensor technologies spanned by the IEEE, and on emerging sensor technologies.

IEEE Sensors Letters is a rapid disclosure publication focusing on the numerous sensor technologies spanned by the IEEE, and on emerging sensor technologies. Papers submitted to this journal will be limited to a maximum length of 4 pages which includes a minimum of single column restricted for references.

The IEEE Sensors Magazine publishes tutorial-style articles on research and applications, as well as columns on issues of interest in the field of scope of the IEEE Sensors Council, i.e., the theory, design, fabrication, manufacturing and application of devices for sensing and transducing physical, chemical, and biological phenomena, with the emphasis on electronics, physics and reliability aspects of sensors and integrated sensor-actuators. The magazine also publishes news, such as information about market issues and industrial developments.

The IEEE Signal Processing Letters is a monthly, archival publication designed to provide rapid dissemination of original, cutting-edge ideas and timely, significant contributions in signal, image, speech, language and audio processing.

IEEE Signal Processing Magazine publishes tutorial-style articles on signal processing research and applications, as well as columns and forums on issues of interest. Its coverage ranges from fundamental principles to practical implementation, reflecting the multidimensional facets of interests and concerns of the community. Its mission is to bring up-to-date, emerging and active technical developments, issues, and events to the research, educational, and professional communities. It is also the main society communication platform addressing important issues concerning all members.

IEEE Software delivers reliable, useful, leading-edge software development information to keep engineers and managers abreast of rapid technology change. Its mission is to build the community of leading software practitioners. The authority on translating software theory into practice, this magazine positions itself between pure research and pure practice, transferring ideas, methods, and experiences among researchers and engineers. Peerreviewed articles and columns by seasoned practitioners illuminate all aspects of the industry, including process improvement, project management, development tools, software maintenance, Web applications and opportunities, testing, and usability. The magazine's readers specify, design, document, test, maintain, purchase, engineer, sell, teach, research, and manage the production of software or systems that include software. IEEE Software welcomes articles describing how software is developed in specific companies, laboratories, and university environments as well as articles describing new tools, current trends, and past projects' limitations and failures as well as successes. Sample topics include geographically distributed development; software architectures; program and system debugging and testing; the education of software professionals; requirements, design, development, testing, and management methodologies; performance measurement and evaluation; standards; program and system reliability, security, and verification; programming environments; languages and language-related issues; Web-based development; usability; and software-related social and legal issues.

The IEEE Solid-State Circuits Letters (L-SSC) provides fast publication of original and significant contributions in the area of solid-state circuits. The emphasis is on the transistor-level design of integrated circuits (ICs). Circuits integrated in micro- and nano-electronic (e.g., VLSI) technologies are of principal interest. Material related to discrete circuit design is rarely published. Experimental verification is strongly encouraged.  

Each issue of IEEE Solid-State Circuits Magazine is envisioned as a self-contained
resource for fundamental theories and practical advances within the field of integrated circuits
(ICs). Written at a tutorial level and in a narrative style, the magazine features articles
by leaders from industry, academia and government explaining historical milestones, current
trends and future developments.
