  1. IEEE Transactions on Robotics (IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation) Status Report AdCom Meeting @ IROS’04 Alessandro De Luca, Editor-in-Chief presented by Bill Hamel, RAS VP Publication Activities IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Sendai, Japan - 3 October 2004 AdCom Meeting 1

  2. Highlights • transition from T-RA smoothly completed in August 2004 • T-RO submissions are going up • T-RO acceptance rate is going down (quality stays high) • 2003 impact factor data: T-RA again top in robotics and record high • T-RO reviewing times continue to be short • end-users needs are being addressed • rapid posting of accepted papers in IEEE Xplore (before publication of issue) • submissions of multimedia material on the way IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Sendai, Japan - 3 October 2004 AdCom Meeting 2

  3. Submissions to T-RO/T-RA • transition in 2003: T-RA for 3 Q only, T-RO starts in last Q • robotics submissions are going up (beating 2002, w/o special issues!) • 2004 T-RO + T-ASE forecast = 585 (405 + 180) papers IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Sendai, Japan - 3 October 2004 AdCom Meeting 3

  4. Acceptance rate: 1998 = 28% 1999 = 23% 2000 = 34% 2001 = 30% 2002 = 31% 2003 = 27,6% (T-RA only) 2003 = 20,0% (T-RO only) 25,9% Global indices of T-RA/T-RO 2004 = 23,3%(T-RO up to 3 Q) • Impact factor: T-RA #1 in Robotics for years 2003: #4 over 47 in Automation & Control #20 over 205 in EE Engineering IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Sendai, Japan - 3 October 2004 AdCom Meeting 4

  6. T-RO in IEEE Xplore Rapid posting (active from start) Links to T-RA (for cont’ed access) IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Sendai, Japan - 3 October 2004 AdCom Meeting 6

  7. Multimedia in T-RO • authors can submit multimedia material (videos) with their papers • multimedia are "playable" files (.midi, .mov. .mpeg, .wav, etc.) or more complex "dataset" files (e.g., raw data with programs to manipulate them) • review process linked to paper: multimedia possibly rejected even if paper is accepted • T-RO will start as soon as possible (following IEEE guidelines) at no additional costs Multimedia in IEEE Xplore (downloadable next to paper) IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Sendai, Japan - 3 October 2004 AdCom Meeting 7

  8. T-RO in Manuscript Central • cost estimation by IEEE fits the budget allowed by RAS-VP Finances (19 K US$ for first year, 11.5 K US$/year at site established) • T-RO will continue to monitor usage by T-ASE to anticipate problems • 3 months to go on line, including testing • configuration requirements document in preparation by T-RO EiC T-RO plans to move to MC v3 in 2005 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Sendai, Japan - 3 October 2004 AdCom Meeting 8
