Title: Understanding the IEEE Journal Peer-Review Process – A Detailed Walkthrough

Presenter:

Fei Gao, University of Technology of Belfort-Montbeliard 

Abstract: This talk provides an in-depth exploration of the peer-reviewing process in IEEE journals, starting from the manuscript submission to the final decision communication, with each crucial step being outlined and explained. Beginning with the essentials for preparing a paper for submission to an IEEE journal, the common causes of immediate rejection by the Journal administrator are revealed through a detailed examination of the checklist. Further, the roles of the Editor-in-Chief (EIC) and the Associate Editor (AE) are dissected. Particular attention is given to the tools used for selecting and assigning reviewers, including insights into the major reviewer databases employed by IEEE journals. The talk then covers how an Associate Editor formulates recommendations and the way the Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision. Lastly, the seminar discusses the next steps following the decision, detailing what authors should do based on the decision communicated. The seminar will conclude with a Q&A segment addressing common questions and providing answers to further clarify the IEEE peer-review process.

Title: The Changing of Role from Industry to Academia

Presenter:

Dong Jiang, Huazhong University of Science and Technology

Abstract: This talk gives experience sharing for young professionals who are thinking of future career life in industry or academia. The presenter has 3 and half years working experience in industry corp research center after graduation as PhD in USA, and then returned to China as professor, which has been for 8 years. The experience in industry is with significant difference of in industry. The presenter will talk about the working experience in industry including the working style, and major challenge and career development. The experience in industry corp research center will be beneficial for returning to academia, but also with many challenges in comparison with the career path all in academia. This experience talk will give young professionals especially PhD graduates an example of future career development.
