IEEE Publishes Four New Journals
Inaugural issues of four new publications have been recently published in IEEE Xplore® covering biomedical, signal processing, industrial electronics, and network management technologies. Each journal, having gone through a comprehensive approval process, is designed to address important advancements in related technology fields.
- IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Circuits and Systems focuses on microelectronic issues in a wide variety of applications found in life sciences, physical sciences, and engineering.
- IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing discusses the theories and applications of signals by digital or analog devices and techniques. This includes filtering, coding, transmitting, estimating, detecting, analyzing, recognizing, synthesizing, recording, and reproducing signals.
- IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine deals with the theory and application of electronics, controls, communications, instrumentation, and computational intelligence to industrial and manufacturing systems and processes.
- IEEE Transactions on Network and Service Management publishes peer-reviewed, archival quality papers advancing the state-of-the-art and practical application of network and service management in an online-only format.

New IET Journal Published
Synthetic Biology, a new journal from the IET, covers the new interdisciplinary field in which engineering principles are applied to biology. The journal covers the biological application of engineering concepts such as modularity, abstraction, and insulation from underlying detail. It aims to support this growing community of engineers and scientists with educational review materials and conventional research papers on synthetic biology. The first issue of Synthetic Biology focuses on the 2006 iGEM (international Genetically Engineered Machine) competition, where student teams competed to design and assemble engineered machines using advanced genetic components and technologies.

IEEE Foundations Grants Awarded in 2007
Thanks to the generosity of donors, and in keeping with the mission of the IEEE Foundation to further the scientific and educational purposes of the IEEE, the IEEE Foundation was able to award grants to a variety of initiatives in 2007. Highlights include the creation of a new exhibit at the Women at Work Museum in Attleboro, Massachusetts, USA, to showcase the achievements of women engineers throughout history; the production of the pilot episode of “Nerd Girls”, a television documentary aimed at encouraging a young female audience to consider entering engineering related fields; the creation of the “Museum of the Future”, a non-profit organization that aims to promote science and engineering among the public, especially those that are victims of the digital divide in Portuguese-speaking countries around the world; and providing resources to launch a Turkey-wide Pre-College website contest in which pre-college students will compete to design and develop the best school website. In total, nearly $250,000 was presented to support initiatives from IEEE branches around the world. Read more

CrossRef Pilots Plagiarism Detection Service
The association responsible for publishing the world’s leading shared digital infrastructure, CrossRef, announced that it has entered into an agreement with iParadigms, a digital information tracking company, to develop a system that allows scholarly and professional publishers to verify the originality of submitted and published papers. The service, when launched, will be called "CrossCheck." Six academic publishers – the Association for Computing Machinery, BMJ Publishing Group Ltd., Elsevier, IEEE, Taylor & Francis, and Wiley-Blackwell – have already agreed to allow their full-text content to be indexed for the pilot and to test the service along several measures.
