General Submissions
IEEE Design & Test of Computers, a bimonthly publication of the IEEE Computer Society and the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, seeks original manuscripts for publication. D&T publishes articles on current and near-future practice in the design and test of electronic-products hardware and supportive software. Tutorials, how-to articles, and real-world case studies are also welcome. Readers include users, developers, and researchers concerned with the design and test of chips, assemblies, and integrated systems.
Acceptable file formats include MS Word, PDF, ASCII or plain text, and PostScript. Manuscripts should not exceed 5,000 words (with each average-size figure counting as 150 words toward this limit), including references and biographies; this amounts to about 4,200 words of text and five figures. Manuscripts must be double-spaced on A4 or 8.5-by-11 inch pages, and type size must be at least 11 points. Please include all figures and tables, as well as a cover page with author contact information (name, postal address, phone, fax, and e-mail address) and a 150-word abstract. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published or currently submitted for publication elsewhere, and all manuscripts must be cleared for publication.
To ensure that articles maintain technical accuracy and reflect current practice, D&T places each manuscript in a peer-review process. At least three reviewers, each with expertise on the given topic, will review your manuscript. Reviewers may recommend modifications or suggest additional areas for discussion. Accepted articles will be edited for structure, style, clarity, and readability. Please read our author guidelines.
