Electrification Magazine

IEEE Electrification Magazine is a quarterly magazine dedicated to disseminating information on all matters related to microgrids onboard electric vehicles, ships, trains, planes, and off-grid applications, including electrification of remote communities and decarbonization strategies. Microgrids refer to electric networks in a car, a ship, a plane or an electric train, which have a limited number of sources and multiple types of loads as well as off-grid applications that include small scale multi-carrier energy systems supplying electricity and heat in areas away from high voltage power networks. Feature articles in the magazine focus on advanced concepts, technologies, and practices associated with all aspects of electrification in the transportation and off-grid sectors from a technical perspective in synergy with nontechnical areas such as business, environmental, social and policy topics.

Membership in IEEE's technical societies provides access to top quality publications such as this one either as a member benefit or via discounted subscriptions. The electronic version of this publication is available for purchase by both members and non-members.

Author Guidelines and Submission Information (also available in PDF format):

A magazine article differs considerably from a technical paper, which is prepared for transactions status. Magazine articles do not contain abstracts, keywords, conclusions, or references (though a "For Further Reading" list is required). Generally speaking, magazine articles do not employ equations or formulas; they try to adhere to the adage "if it cannot be said in words, it does not belong in a magazine article." Also, as IEEE Electrification Magazine is a four-color publication, it is preferred that articles be accompanied by graphics, photos, screen captures, etc. to enhance their content.

Manuscript Preparation

Proposals and articles may be submitted for consideration. Proposals should be in the form of an extended abstract. Articles should be prepared according to the following guidelines:

• The article should be a Word file in single-column, double-spaced format.
• All text components of the article should be included (e.g., body of the article, figure captions, tables, sidebars, if any, and brief author biographies as described below), with all graphics (figures, tables, etc.) shown in their desired location within the body of the article.
• Reference lists are not allowed. However, a "For Further Reading" section of no more than 10 entries is required.
• Footnotes are allowed for illustrations used with permission.
• A one-line bio for each author should appear at the end of the article and should include the author's name, e-mail address, and affiliation. For example:
  John Smith (author @ nrel.gov) is with the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colorado.
• The article should be between 6 and 8 pages long, corresponding to approximately 5,000 words and included graphics.

Note: If any figures in the article have been used from other sources, it is the author's responsibility to obtain written permission from the original source to reprint them.

Submission Information

Proposals and articles should be submitted via e-mail to electrification@ieee.org. Be sure to include complete contact information.

Upon Acceptance

If your article is accepted for publication, you will be required to submit the following material:

• the source file for the final version of the article in Word or LaTeX format
• the final version of the article in PDF format (the PDF must match the source file)
• a separate source file for each figure in jpg, gif, tif, or eps format with a resolution of at least 300 dpi (name each file according to its relationship to the article, e.g., fig1.eps, fig2.tif, etc.)
• an IEEE Copyright Form signed by any author.

Once your article is scheduled for a specific issue, it will be forwarded to the IEEE Magazines Department for processing. You will receive a proof of your edited text for review and approval prior to publication.
