FOR AUTHORS

The MTT Society publishes three journals: The IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, the IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, and the Microwave Magazine. The Society all sponsors books on Microwave Technology which are co-branded by the IEEE and John Wiley. This is in addition to numerous conference proceedings. Authors are invited to submit manuscripts to these publications.  Specific information for submission of manuscripts to each publication is available by clicking on the following:

PUBLICATION POLICY

All authors must read and understand

PUBLICATIONS STANDARDS POLICY AND PRINCIPLES FOR AUTHORS, REFEREES, AND EDITORS

In particular Authors must be aware of the requirements for appropriate author list order, the designation of a "corresponding" author, and rights and responsibilities of co-authorship. Also authors must be aware of Self Plagiarism which is denied as publication of the same work in Archival Publications including publication of essentially the same work in Conferences, Transactions and Letters.  This includes parallel submission of substantially similar manuscripts to conferences and to journals.  This has been a problem in our society and degrades the reputation of our journals and conferences. Both journals and conferences are now electronically searchable and so the archival value of conferences and journals is the same.

The IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society affirms that authorship credit must be reserved for individuals who have met each of the following conditions:  1) made a significant intellectual contribution to the theoretical development, system or experimental design, prototype development, and/or the analysis and interpretation of data associated with the work contained in the manuscript, 2) contributed to drafting the article or reviewing and/or revising it for intellectual content, and 3) approved the final version of the manuscript.  (Deceased persons deemed appropriate as authors should be so included with a footnote reporting their death.) In multi-authored papers, authors should be listed in descending order of their contribution to the paper.  

Responsibility for the content of published papers rests upon the authors, not the IEEE. This is a long-standing principle of IEEE policy, but has been added to the copyright form as an explicit reminder to authors. The form is accessible at http://www.ieee.org/copyright.
