Proceedings of the IEEE

Since its inception in 1913, the Proceedings of the IEEE has established itself as the premier journal for comprehensive review and tutorial content across the entire spectrum of electrical engineering, electronics, and computer science. Published monthly by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the journal is distinguished by its exceptionally high impact factor of 30.900 (2026 JCR) and its consistent placement in the Q1 quartile, reflecting its unparalleled standing as the most cited and influential general-interest journal in its field. The journal’s scope is deliberately broad, encompassing seminal advances in emerging technologies and foundational disciplines alike. Core topics include signal processing, communications, power systems, control theory, microelectronics, artificial intelligence, and biomedical engineering. It primarily publishes in-depth, authoritative review papers and forward-looking tutorial articles, which are typically commissioned from leading international experts. These contributions synthesize vast bodies of research, provide critical assessments of current technologies, and articulate future research directions. Unlike journals focusing on novel but incremental results, Proceedings of the IEEE prioritizes integrative surveys that define the state of the art. The target audience is equally broad, serving academic researchers, practicing engineers, graduate students, and technology managers who require a reliable, high-level understanding of developments outside their immediate specialization. Notably, the journal operates on a hybrid open-access model, offering authors the option to pay an article processing charge for immediate gold open access. With its century-long legacy, rigorous peer review, and elite impact metrics, Proceedings of the IEEE remains the definitive reference for authoritative, panoramic overviews of the most transformative technologies shaping our world.
