Requirements</span></div> <h1> Article Submission Requirements </h1> <p>Speed up the publishing process by making sure all your files are in order. Following these article submission requirements, including graphics and multimedia requirements, can help.</p><p>Supply the following during article submission:</p><ul><li>Source file in TXT, DOC, DOCX, or TeX format</li><li>Source files for any graphics or multimedia items, labeled sequentially</li><li>Captions for all graphics</li><li>PDF of the text and graphics in case there are any font discrepancies</li><li>Permission approvals for the reuse of any previously published material</li></ul><p><a name="graphics"></a></p><h3>Graphics Requirements</h3><p>Articulate your data points with accuracy and clarity through high-quality graphics. Develop more effective graphics by following the graphics requirements below.</p><h4>Lena image</h4><p><span>IEEE’s diversity statement and supporting policies such as the IEEE Code of Ethics speak to IEEE’s commitment to promoting an inclusive and equitable culture that welcomes all. In alignment with this culture and with respect to the wishes of the subject of the image, </span><span class="il">Lena</span><span> Forsén, IEEE will no longer accept submitted papers which include the “</span><span class="il">Lena</span><span> image.”</span></p><h4>Accepted graphics file formats</h4><p>Make sure your submitted file formats can be processed by IEEE. Compare your files to the IEEE accepted graphics file formats:</p><ul><li>IEEE accepts PS, EPS, PDF, PNG, or TIFF formats for graphics submission. </li><li>It is acceptable to submit Microsoft Office documents (DOC, PPT, XLS) only when the graphic was originally drawn in the program. </li><li>High-resolution JPEG files are acceptable for author photos only. IEEE also continues to accept PS, EPS, and TIFF.</li></ul><p>Most graphics are published at one column width (3.5 inches / 21 picas wide) or two column width (7.16 inches / 43 picas wide). <em>Graphics prepared as VSD, GIF, JPEG, BMP, or any other file formats not listed as acceptable cannot be processed except in the case of an author photo.</em></p><h4>Graphics display resolution</h4><p>Did you know that resolution and size are different? Follow these graphics display resolution guidelines to ensure the graphics for your IEEE journal article look great.</p><p>The <em>size</em> of your graphic refers to its dimensions (the width and height). The <em>resolution</em> refers to dpi (dots per inch) or ppi (pixels per inch).</p><ul><li>DPI refers to the number of printed dots contained within one inch of an image printed by a printer.</li><li>PPI refers to the number of pixels in a linear inch when displayed on an electronic image device like a computer, tablet, or your phone.</li></ul><p>IEEE standards for non-vector graphics are >300dpi for color and grayscale images; and >600dpi for black and white “line art.” </p><p>In cases where graphics, such as digital photographs, are produced at a lower resolution, acceptable quality can be achieved by ensuring that column-wide graphics are at least 1050 pixels wide and page-wide graphics are 2150 pixels wide.</p><h4>Reusing graphics from the Internet</h4><p>You will need to request permission to reproduce content that has been made available previously, either in a publication or on the Internet. This may include text, graphics, tables, or other materials.</p><p>Reuse permission must be granted by the copyright owner, which is often the publisher of the original work. Avoid reusing content when it is unclear who the copyright owner is or what limitations are placed on reusing the content.</p><h4>Text in graphics</h4><p>Any text within a graphic will be replaced during the article production process to adhere to uniform IEEE magazine style. Be sure to check your graphic text during the <a href="https://magazines.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/your-role-in-article-production/how-to-review-your-article-proof/">proof review process</a>.</p><h3>Multimedia Requirements</h3><p>Enhance your magazine article by following the IEEE multimedia requirements.
