Submission Information: Information for Authors
Submission Instructions for Authors
All manuscripts must be submitted through Manuscript Central. If needed, contact the IEEE TIV Office at tivoffice@ieee.org with any questions or concerns.
Before Submission, Authors Must:
- Complete the format self-check by verifying and marking each item on the corresponding box of the checklist, which must be included with both new submissions and resubmissions.
IEEE TIV Checklist
☐ Plagiarism check below 25% (Over 25% will be rejected without the option to resubmit)
☐ No depositing of the submitted work in the publicly accessible repository (ArXiv, etc.)
☐ Disclose any Conflict of Interest (COI)
☐ Institutional email address of all co-authors
(Special request to TIV office if no institutional email address)
☐ ORCID for all co-authors
☐ No non-English characters in the author’s information
☐ Detailed response letter (Resubmission Only)
☐ Highlighted revised manuscript (Resubmission Only)
Manuscript Layout Format:
☐ Font type and size
☐ Double-column layout, standard line spacing/ paragraph spacing
☐ Title and subtitle format
☐ Author list without email address or affiliations (Under Title)
☐ Standard format of figures and tables
☐ Formatted references (Justified alignment, hanging indent, consistent journal name)
☐ Short biographies for all authors
Authors can choose among 4 kinds of submissions, each with its suggested length in IEEE style:
- Perspectives, Letters and Communications: normally limited to 5 pages
- Survey Papers: 18 pages
- Regular Papers: 10 pages
- Practitioner Papers: 6 pages
An author may submit manuscripts that exceed the suggested length but after the final acceptance, provided they pay an overlength charge of $175.00USD for each extra page. Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced open access APCs.
The TIV Delink Policy (Version 2, August 18, 2024):
- If the Associate Editor (AE) cannot find suitable reviewers within 3 weeks, the manuscript will be rejected through EIR and returned to the corresponding author, allowing the manuscript to be submitted to other more suitable journals.
In the case of resubmission to TIV, please provide the previous submission ID, and we will attempt to restart the process with a different AE. - If the AE cannot obtain two review reports within 6 weeks, the manuscript will be rejected through EIR and returned to the corresponding author, allowing the manuscript to be submitted to other more suitable journals.
In the case of resubmission to TIV, please provide the previous submission ID and a detailed revision report (if any); we will attempt to restart the process with the same AE/Reviewer and additional new reviewers.
Peer Review
The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A). Each published submission was reviewed by at least two independent reviewers through a single-blind peer review process. In this system, the identities of the reviewers remain confidential to the authors, while reviewers are aware of the authors’ identities. Additionally, all articles will be screened for plagiarism before initiating a formal TIV review process.
Please note that TIV supports the AE’s decision to add reviewers whenever necessary. This is both the AE’s right and TIV’s policy.
Abstract Description and Specifications
For an abstract to be effective when displayed in IEEE Xplore® as well as through indexing services such as Compendex, INSPEC, Medline, ProQuest, and Web of Science, it must be concisely yet comprehensively reflect the article it describes. In particular, the abstract must be:
- Contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. It should be a microcosm of the full article.
- Between 150- 250 words.
- Written as one paragraph and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material.
- Include three or four different keywords or phrases. However, over-repetition of such phrases can result in a page being rejected by search engines.
- Grammatically correct.
IEEE Author Center
English language editing services can help refine the language of your article and reduce the risk of rejection without review. IEEE authors are eligible for discounts at several language editing services; visit the IEEE Author Center to learn more. Please note these services are fee-based and do not guarantee acceptance.
Additional Resources for Authors
Open Access Publishing option of the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles
IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles is a hybrid journal, allowing either traditional manuscript submission or Open Access (author-pays OA) manuscript submission. The OA option, if selected, enables unrestricted public access to the article via IEEE Xplore. The OA option will be offered to the author at the time the manuscript is submitted. If selected, the OA discounted fee of $2,495.00 must be paid before the article is published in the journal. If you have unusual circumstances about this, please contact the Editor-in-Chief. Any other applicable charges (such as the over-length page charge and/or charge for the use of color in the print format) will be billed separately once the manuscript formatting is complete but prior to the publication. The traditional option, if selected, enables access to all qualified subscribers and purchasers via IEEE Xplore. Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced open access APCs.
Alternative Option for Open Access Publishing in ITS
The new Open Journal of ITS: OJ-ITS
The IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society has established the new IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation System (OJ-TS) for Open Access publications in the field of ITS. OJ-ITS is 100% open access, which means that all content is freely available without charge to users or their institutions. All articles are published under a CC BY 4.0 license, and the author retains copyright. The rapid peer review process of OJ-ITS is targeting a publication time frame of 10 weeks for most accepted papers. OJ-ITS has no page limit. Open access is provided through the payment of an Article Processing Charge (APC) of $2,045 paid after acceptance. Discount conditions are available. Publication is on-line through IEEE Xplore. Information about the IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation System can be found at: https://www.ieee-itss.org/oj-its
Submitting Final Files: Information for authors of accepted papers
Papers accepted for publication will be published both electronically on IEEE Xplore website and in the printed version of the Transactions.
Authors must submit final files electronically using the submission web site requested items must be compressed in a ZIP file before uploading them on the submission web site.
Requested items:
- A PDF version of the paper and an identical source version using either LaTeX or MSWord. Paper must be formatted using IEEE style (double column, single spaced) whose template is available here.
- Original versions of figures and tables (high definition) in separate files only if they aren’t embedded in the source paper file (accepted formats: PS, EPS, PDF, PNG, TIFF, DOC, PPT, XLS).
- Bio-sketches (in IEEE format) and high-resolutions photos of each of the authors (not required for Short and Practitioner Papers); bio-sketches can be included in the source file or alternatively saved in separate files.
Few weeks after the submission of the final files, the contact author will be contacted by the publishing office to check the proofs of the paper. Authors will have 48 hours to return eventual corrections to the proofs.
Once proofs are validated, the paper will be published in the “early papers” section of IEEE Xplore web site in few days and later in the first available printed issue.
If after the proofs, paper length exceeds the suggested values (see Submit a Paper section), authors will be asked to pay an extra page charge of 175 US dollar for each extra page.
Author Names in Native Languages
IEEE supports the publication of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) author names in the native language alongside the English versions of the names in the author list of an article. For more information, please visit the IEEE Author Center.
Color Printing
If a paper includes color figures, authors can decide to publish their paper in color (additional charges) or in gray tone.
Papers printed in gray tone are published electronically in color on IEEE Xplore if color illustrations are included.
IEEE Copyright
IEEE policy requires that prior to publication all authors must transfer the copyright for their paper to the IEEE via the submission web site when submitting the final files.
