New Study Shows Top Patenting Organizations Rely on IEEE Research
As today's corporations deliver new patented technologies at an ever-increasing pace, the most cited publisher in new patents continues to be IEEE, according to studies by 1790 Analytics, LLC. The most recent report examines patents filed with the U.S. Patent Office in 2007 by the year's top 25 patenting organizations. The report revealed that IEEE journals and conference proceedings received more than 101,000 patent citations—nearly four times more citations than any other publisher—and references to IEEE papers in patents has increased 294% in the last decade. Also, the study found that patents citing IEEE research are, in turn, cited more frequently in subsequent patents than those without IEEE citations.

Scitopia.org Adds Six New Partners
Scitopia.org, the free, federated search portal created by leading science and technology societies, has added six new content partners—the largest content addition since the site launched in 2007. The addition of the Royal Society, Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), International Union of Crystallography (IUCr), Audio Engineering Society (AES) and the Society for Information Display (SID) brings the total number of digital libraries searched by scitopia.org to 21. “Our goal is to continually improve the user’s experience with scitopia.org by adding new content from high quality science and technology partners,” said Barbara Lange, Director of Product Line Management and Publishing Business Development for IEEE, a charter partner of scitopia.org. "This group of new partners is particularly important because they expand the topic areas that can be studied with scitopia.org and offer users a deeper historical archive." Visit scitopia.org

Arts + Science = New Curriculum?
In today’s fast moving world, professionals and academics need to be aware of more than just the details of the latest technical breakthrough. Liberal arts, humanities, technology and science are coming together in workplaces, universities and our communities to form a new curriculum for future engineers. IEEE can help you stay current on a wide range of topics, from the ways technology impacts modern society to how women in engineering are paving a new path of innovation. Read more about how the arts and sciences are coming together on the IEEE University Partnership Program blog

Women in Engineering Magazine
The second issue of IEEE Women in Engineering Magazine is now available in IEEE Xplore®. The summer 2008 issue focuses on Vitruvian Machines and how women are shaping a robotics revolution. According to Karen Panetta, the magazine’s Editor-in-Chief, more and more women are at the forefront of robotics engineering and “not only serve as role models to help attract more women into the field but are also exemplary entrepreneurs.” Panetta, who also serves as the Chair of the IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) committee, was recently featured in a Newsweek article about Nerd Girls—a growing segment of women engineers who are challenging the notion of what a geek should look like by mixing girly interests with traditionally techie pursuits.

Special Issue of Proceedings of the IEEE Looks at Educational Technology
The June issue of Proceedings of the IEEE highlights the evolution of educational technology and how IEEE-related areas are driving exciting changes in the field. The issue, by acquainting readers with the many tools available, seeks to encourage both the use of existing educational technology and the development of the next generation of technology for teaching and learning. Featured papers span the topics of distance education, systems for distributed education, electronic publishing, interactive and adaptive educational software, collaborative learning environments, methods of university/industry interaction for the production of new technologies, designs and systems for quality assurance and peer review and remotely accessible laboratories. Additionally, IEEE Signal Processing Society’s collaboration with open-source platform Connexions, which enables authors, teachers and learners to access learning materials, courses and textbooks from a globally available repository, is also discussed. To learn more, please visit the Proceedings of the IEEE web site.
