Instructions to Authors of Papers to be Published in the Transactions on Consumer Electronics

The primary purpose for publishing the Transactions of the Consumer Electronics Society is to present to the membership and the engineering community in general, papers on new technology oriented to Consumer Electronics that are relevant, interesting, enlightening, and instructive. New technology does not simply mean new product development, although it does not preclude new product development where unusual technical achievement has been attained. The key factor is the emphasis placed on technology rather than product. All papers must meet the "Criteria for Publication" in the Transactions, and each paper must clearly describe how it applies to consumer electronics.

Many of the papers carried in the Transactions of the CE Society are selected from presentations given at the International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE) or other technical meetings. The ICCE Call for Papers is normally issued at least eight months prior to the conference. (The call for papers is posted on the ICCE web site http://www.icce.org/) Non-conference papers are encourage at any time. The Publications Committee of the CE Society, and the editor of the Transactions have the responsibility for making selection and for instructing potential authors on paper preparation details.

Beginning in 2003, all papers submitted to the Transactions on Consumer Electronics must be submitted electronically via the Internet. Electronic submission enables the preparation, review and publication of manuscripts to be accomplished rapidly while assuring a professional and uniform appearance of the Transactions.
