IEEE Transactions Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence


Templates LaTeX (TAR) LaTeX (ZIP) Word (ZIP) These templates are meant to aid you in preparing a draft of your manuscript for peer-review as well as to prepare final publication materials that will closely translate into the final publication format. This does not mean that the published paper will appear in this format. The published paper will appear as formatted by IEEE Computer Society publication staff.	Submitting a paper to TPAMI To Submit your paper, please use Manuscript Central. Detailed information regarding submitting your paper to TPAMI can be found in the author center in the peer review for journals community. When a TPAMI submission is based on a previous conference paper, IEEE requires that the journal paper be a “substantial revision” of the previous publication (thirty percent is generally considered “substantial”).TPAMI interprets and applies this requirement on a case-by-case basis with appropriate deference to the author's viewpoint. Examples of the improvements we expect to see over the conference paper include the following: additional technical details, a clearer explanation of the contribution, more experiments if appropriate, or an updated state-of-the-art. And of course the authors are encouraged to make the journal version a significant improvement on the conference paper, for example by taking the opportunity to integrate their previous work, or performing additional substantive work to answer questions that their conference paper raised. Since the journal version is intended to be the definitive, archival version of the research, TPAMI expects that the authors will take this opportunity to further improve their conference paper. Manuscript Types accepted by TPAMI TPAMI manuscript types and submission length guidelines are as follows: Regular paper – 14 double column or 35 single column pages Short paper – 8 double column or 15 single column pages Comments paper – 2½ double column or 5 single column pages Survey paper – 20 double column or 40 single column pages Please note that double column will translate more readily into the final publication format. A double column page is defined as a 7.875" x 10.75" page with 10-point type, 12-point vertical spacing, and 1/2 inch margins. A single column page is defined as an 8.5" x 11" page with 12-point type and 24-point vertical spacing, containing approximately 250 words. All margins should be one inch (top, bottom, right and left). These length limits are taking into account reasonably-sized figures and references.
