Transactions on AES
You are here
Bi-monthly the IEEE Transactions on Aerospace and Electronic Systems publishes articles with aerospace or related applications. The areas of interest are naturally quite wide, and include space, avionics, guidance & control, navigation, power conversion systems, command & control and, of course, radar. Aerospace ideas have wide applicability, hence other topics include intelligent & fault-tolerant systems, target tracking, multi-sensor systems, electro-optic and infrared sensing, sensor network management, large-scale systems and systems-of-systems, and even sonar.
Manuscripts should be submitted via the web at http://taes.msubmit.net. It is expected that each manuscript be a novel contribution with strong scientific underpinning, clear development and good English. Manuscripts undergo a rigorous web-based peer-review process, with typical review cycles in the order of 60 days. Regular papers show a thorough development of an idea or topic, while correspondence items are somewhat shorter; the difference is in scope, rather than quality. The Transactions does not have Special Issues due to the quarterly publication cycle. However, occasionally Special Sections on a particular topic share an issue with the regular papers. For information about proposing a Special Section, please see IEEE Transactions on AES Special Section: Procedures and Guidelines for Proposals. For more specific information for Transactions authors, please see Author's Instructions.

In accordance with IEEE policies regarding open access (OA) content, the AES Transactions has become a “hybrid” journal for submissions dated November 1st 2012 or later. This means that authors have the choice between the traditional publication model and an OA model. The former is the familiar procedure in which an accepted article is available on IEEEXplore to subscribers of that service. Under the OA model the author of an accepted manuscript chooses to pay a fee, such that the manuscript is posted on IEEEXplore and available, free, to all. IEEE’s open access article processing charge (APC) for all hybrid journal is 2045 USD. This figure is independent of manuscript type (regular, correspondence or letter).
*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). ORCIDs enable accurate attribution and improved discoverability of an author’s published work. The author will need a registered ORCID in order to submit a manuscript or review a proof in this journal.
Peer Review
The articles in this journal are peer-reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual. 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.
Every 5 years, our publication goes through a review with the IEEE. Please see the latest report for the 2015 PRAC Review for the Transactions.
