IEEE’s extensive collection of journals, magazines, conference proceedings and other content hosted on the IEEE Xplore digital library is a home for researchers’ breakthrough discoveries. These peer-reviewed publications foster the exchange of cutting-edge ideas that drive technological progress and help fuel emerging technologies. IEEE remains committed to open access publishing and open science, ensuring that groundbreaking research reaches the widest possible audience.

Leading The Conversa

Top Patenting Organizations Rely on IEEE Research to Drive Innovation

According to the 2024 study by 1790 Analytics, patents that build upon IEEE-published science have higher citation indices than patents that do not reference IEEE. This suggests that patents that build upon IEEE science are more likely to become high-quality, high-impact inventions than patents that do not build upon IEEE science. The study found:

IEEE Journals Lead the Field in Citation Rankings

In 2024, IEEE journals once again excelled in journal citation rankings according to the latest Journal Citation Reports™ from Clarivate Analytics and CiteScore™ metrics by Scopus. The rankings highlight IEEE’s continued excellence in publishing influential research across diverse fields including artificial intelligence, imaging sciences, automation, cybernetics and computer science.

 A wide range of IEEE publications were among the most-cited journals in multiple categories:

IEEE Expands Open Access Portfolio

IEEE continued to offer multiple publishing options for its author community, including expanding its open access offerings. In 2024, new gold open access journals covered diverse fields from privacy to sensors.

IEEE Strengthens Research Integrity Process

In 2024, IEEE continued to evolve its publishing processes based on industry best practices to help maintain the integrity of the scholarly record. One initiative helps detect papers with issues of concern, including plagiarism, inappropriate citations and the use of artificial intelligence to generate content without proper disclosure. IEEE collaborates with other publishers to manage this industry-wide issue. IEEE also broadened its corrective measures for publishing misconduct. Previously focused on restricting authorship, the organization now imposes restrictions on editorial roles, including peer reviewers, editors, conference organizers and conference publication officers.
