About the IEEE Sensors Council Newsletter The IEEE Sensors Council Newsletter includes news useful to its members and highlights content of the current issue of IEEE Sensors Journal. 
President's Message 
The IEEE Sensors Council enjoyed amazing success last year, and we look forward to many more achievements this year. We have launched a new journal, IEEE Sensors Letters and a new co-sponsored publication, IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics and RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology. Our conferences are thriving, our participation in many global technical activities (IoT, Brain Initiative, etc) and various outreach programs (Young Professionals, Women in Sensors, public engagement) is at an all-time high.
While the worldwide political landscape has created uncertainty in the minds of many, the Sensors Council has elected our own outstanding set of future officers that will lead us boldly into the future regardless. There is no question that this point in time is one where technology (especially sensors) has resulted in great optimism for benefits to humanity. I hope we will all be positive in our efforts to leverage the positive potential of sensors to improve quality of life for everyone. Please join us in making 2017 a year to remember for the impact of IEEE on the world! With warm regards and best wishes for a productive year.

IEEE Sensors Journal Editorial Board
IEEE NewsIEEE is pleased to introduce a new IEEE data repository service called IEEE DataPort™. After gathering input from IEEE members and performing further research, IEEE DataPort was developed and is now LIVE and ready for use by all Society members. Congratulations to Jill Gostin, the deputy director of Georgia Tech Research Institute's Information and Communication Laboratory and the Vice President of Finance for the IEEE Sensors Council. Gostin was named the 2016 Women in Technology Woman of the Year in the Medium/Mid-size Organizations Category (501-2500 employee business).  ORCID To Be Required of Authors
Many author names in IEEE Xplore are not unique. For example, there are more than 60,000 authors whose last name is Kim, more than 30,000 whose last name is Zhang, and more than 10,000 each whose last name is Smith, Nguyen, Kumar or Singh. An author's name can also change; e.g., as a result of marriage.
How is one to determine which C. Park an author is when there are more than 13,780 C. Parks in IEEE Xplore? IEEE now requires an Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) from authors of papers submitted to a periodical, with a similar requirement on conference submissions to follow. ORCID is a nonproprietary and persistent alphanumeric code to uniquely identify an author, just like the Digital Object Identifier (DOI), uniquely identifies each article with a nonproprietary and persistent alphanumeric code. An example of an ORCID is "orcid.org/0000-0002-2378-0113." Researchers may obtain an ORCID for free at https://orcid.org/register. Further information may be found at their website. IEEE Sensors Letters February 2017: Volume 1  by Srinivas Tadigadapa, Editor-in-Chief It is with great pleasure that I introduce IEEE Sensors Letters, a journal dedicated to publishing reports of four pages or fewer on the latest and most significant developments in the field of sensors. The journal will provide an avenue to share advances in the field of sensors in a profound, but concise manner through the publication of succinct papers. IEEE Sensors Letters plans to maintain an average submission to publication time of no more than six weeks. This quick turnaround of IEEE Sensors Letters is motivated by a desire to perform a vital function: efficient publication of papers that require urgent dissemination. The scope of the journal will cover all aspects of sensors and sensing technology including the theory, design, fabrication, manufacturing, signal processing, interface circuits, and applications of devices for sensing and transducing physical, chemical, and biological phenomena. The editorial board of the IEEE Sensors Letters consists of highly accomplished scientists and engineers who will oversee the review process. Each submitted paper is checked for plagiarism and is rigorously peer reviewed for its content and quality of writing. Plagiarism of any form, including self-plagiarism and Internet plagiarism, will not be tolerated. Any ideas borrowed or quoted from other sources must be properly referenced and sourced, as strong referencing makes the work valuable and increases its impact. Thus, the journal has stipulated that at least one column of each paper be devoted exclusively to references. Although the articles are expected to be short in length, they must represent complete work in which all new ideas have strong technical and mathematical foundations. IEEE Sensors Letters is not intended for disseminating preliminary and tentative information. All articles submitted must include reproducible results and/or have testable hypotheses that are then demonstrated clearly within the articles. Where experimental data is not available from the authors, they must show how the ideas presented agree with data from published literature. It is the authors’ responsibility to present the strongest arguments in support of their work-whether theoretical or experimental. Finally, IEEE Sensors Letters requires graphical abstracts, which are depictions of the content of the paper in the form of an image, with each paper. It is authors’ opportunity to present their abstract in an art form that captures the imagination of the readers and compels them to explore the content of the article. A mere reproduction of one of the figures or a sparse and abstruse representation of the work is not useful. Graphical art must be an aesthetically appealing representation of the abstract through the use of photographs, schematics, and other images. The best of these graphical abstracts will be used on the front cover of each issue of the journal. We hope that through the earnest efforts of the sensors community and their dedication to the field that we are able to disseminate high quality work that will be of value and create an impact for many years to come. It is with this hope and expectation we have begun this journey, and we look forward to your participation. For more information, please visit our website.
