abstract is a single paragraph that summarizes the significant aspects of the
manuscript. Often it indicates whether the manuscript is a report of new work, a
review or overview, or a combination thereof. Do not cite references in the
abstract. Papers must not have been published previously and must be targeted
toward the general technical reader. Papers submitted for peer review (not
departments or columns) may fit into the theme of an open Call for Papers or be
submitted as a “Regular” paper. Some Computer Society (CS) magazines provide
early access to full manuscript submissions by posting a preprint of the article
prior to its inclusion in an issue. Preprint articles are considered published and
may be cited using their Digital Object Identifier (DOI). IEEE’s Publishing
Operations team will provide editorial and production services throughout the
publication process.
