Checklist and Guidelines for Submitting a Final Paper for Publication for IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics

Guidelines for submitting a Final Paper for Publication After a paper has been accepted for publication the authors will be notified by the PELS Editor. When corrections forformat and other information are completed, the original single-column, double-space electronic version of the paper(Font: Times New Roman preferred, size no less than 10 point, no larger than 12 point) along with electronic files for theillustrations, will be forwarded to IEEE for final formatting. Authors should not prepare camera-ready copy. The final paper

for publication should include a complete mailing address for every author and should indicate whether each author is anIEEE member.

The text of the paper will be electronically typeset by the IEEE. Figures and tables should be stored in separate files, oneper illustration. These should be of the highest quality: sharp, noise free, and of good contrast, in a format suitable for finalpublication. In most cases, the illustrations should not be in the form of scans of printed versions or in the form of previewor display-type versions converted by various types of software. Figures consisting of photographs should be in an originaldigital format if possible; if a scan is essential, the resolution must be at least 300 pixels per inch. The final preferredformat for all figures is TIFF . If figures are larger than one column (3.5 in or 8.9 cm), please indicate the desired final 1or 2-column-width span (maximum is 7 1/16 in or 17.8 cm). Use lettering on figures only where necessary. All lettering onfigures must be exactly 8 points (super- and subscripts are proportionately smaller) in the final printed size. Authors mayuse color in figures, but these should be tested for good quality when reproduced on a monochrome printer. If the finalprinted version is intended to use color figures, there will be an extra basic charge of $1,045.00 (depending on the number

of figures) plus an additional $62.50 for each color figure.

Electronic sub mis sion of the f inal paper throug h Manuscr ipt Central is required. Please note that once the f inalf i les are submit t ed you wil l not be able to make chang es unti l you receive your gal ley proo fs. Please make sureyour f ina l subm iss ion to Manuscr ip t Cent ral i s cor rec t and comp le te. The fo l lowing general requ i rements shouldbe observed :

1) Submit the text of the paper in the native electronic format of the word processing software used to create it. Thefinal manuscript will be re-converted from the original, not from the review .pdf copy. The operating system andword processing software used to produce the paper should be noted (e.g., Windows/Microsoft Word). Theformats with best support are Microsoft Word (versions 95 and later) and LaTex. If a compressed or segmentedfile is sent, be sure to indicate the method of compression (e.g., .zip, .sit). Please do not include extraneousfiles. Failure to submit this source file may result in publishing delays.

2) Include a flat ASCII version (text only) with the word-processed version. This helps facilitate the conversionprocess.3) A reference copy of the final manuscript, with all figures and tables embedded and captioned in double column

format . The reference copy will be used only to resolve questions as to the authors intent and may be a PDF andwill be visible on IEEEXplore in early access.

4) Figures and tables are also submitted electronically. Each figure and table is to be in its own file without captionand labeled fig1, fig2 (lower case without further identification). For figures and tables with multiple parts: figureparts that should appear side by side should be in the same file, without caption. Figure parts that should appearabove or below should be in separate files, without caption. Full and complete figure and table captions should beprovided in a separate file. A text-only version of any tables should be sent as well, without table lines.

5) Files containing a brief biography and a digital version of a personal photo (passport type at a resolution of notless than 300 pixels per inch) of each author should be included for Regular papers but not for Letters orCorrespondence.

6) All the files above should be submitted through the awaiting final f iles queue in your author center on ManuscriptCentral. Please do not send any items via email, post, or fax, as they will not be processed if you do.

Please submit your final files as soon as possible, and no later than 30 days from today's date. Papers will be queued forpublication on a first-in, first-out basis. Your paper cannot go into the publication queue until you have complete the finalfile submission. The time from submission to publication depends on the number of manuscripts in the queue and thenumber of papers published in each of the monthly issues of Transactions; this time will not be less than five months, andcould be longer. The paper will be posted on IEEE Xplore as Accepted for Future Publication 3 -4 weeks after it hasbeen reviewed and accepted by the Transactions EiC. You will receive a page proof of the final layout of your paper aboutsix to ten weeks prior to publication of the issue of IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics that will contain your paper.Page charges will be assessed at this time.
