The Point of View feature allows authors to explore topics of personal interest and of interest to members of the IEEE community. This format provides a forum for both information exchange and discussion of important topics. The scope of this section ranges from opinions on the importance of particular new concepts or discoveries to discussion of educational and professional trends to personal positions and predictions on various technical topics.
Submission Guidelines
- Point of View articles are usually between 1,500 and 3,000 words long.
- Illustrations, graphics and images are welcome. References should be limited.
- Authors can use either Word or LaTeX for preparing the paper. For review purposes, a Word or a PDF file is required.
- Articles should be submitted to ScholarOne Manuscripts. Select “Point of View” under Manuscript Type. Select “Proceedings of the IEEE Editorial Office: Point of View” under Issue Entry Header.
