  1. IEEE Transactions on Robotics Status Report AdCom Meeting @ ICRA’05 Alessandro De Luca, Editor-in-Chief IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 1

  2. Highlights • two new Editors and eight new Associate Editors (total of 27 AEs) • submissions are going even moreup • acceptance rate continues to be low (quality stays high) • reviewing times continue to be as short as possible • publication queue at IEEE long (T-RA/T-RO): corrective actions taken • ISI Journal Citation Report is merging 2004 T-RA/T-RO data IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 2

  3. Two Editors ending term(duty: 2000-2005) • Ian Walker • Seth Hutchinson • 401 T-RA papers handled • T-RA acceptance rate = 31,8% • 160 T-RO papers handled • T-RO acceptance rate = 20,4% • 380 T-RA papers handled • T-RA acceptance rate = 28,7% • 158 T-RO papers handled • T-RO acceptance rate = 29,7% IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 3

  6. After considerable “hunting” during 2004, three proposals were received just before ICRA05 and are currently under evaluation “Parallel Robots” organizers: J. Lenarcic, J.-P. Merlet, V. Parenti-Castelli “Aerial Robotics” organizer: P. Oh “Bio-Robotics” organizers: P. Dario, B. Hannaford, A. Takanishi Special issues IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 6

  7. T-RO (T-RA) submissions • robotics submissions continue to go up • 2005 expected to beat top submissions of T-RA 2002 (without automation papers and special issues) IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 7

  8. T-RA 1998 = 28% 1999 = 23% 2000 = 34% 2001 = 30% 2002 = 31% 2003 = 28,6% T-RO 2003 = 19,7% 2004 = 24,2% 1Q 2005 = 17,4% T-RO (T-RA) global indices • acceptance rate total T-RO = 23,2% • ..but, # submissionsxacceptance rate is only slightly down • impact factor(T-RA#1 in Robotics for years, record high in 2003) • 2004 T-RO/T-RA integrated data available from ISI/JCR in Aug05 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 8

  10. 4 in 6-9 months 32 in 3-6 months 103 in 0-3 months 133 papers in review @IROS’04 T-RO reviewing times • a closer look on the latest data for T-RO 139 papers currently in review average is againless than 3 months IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 10

  11. T-RA T-RO Year 19992000 2001 2002 2003 20042005 Page Budget 1248 1024 1024 1024 1024 1024 1076 Pages Count 1196960 10241024 10761076 280 Pages/RegPaper 12.7 12.6 12.8 12.5 12.3 11.2 11.2 Up to T-RO Apr 05 issue T-RO (T-RA) publication will go up to 1290 pages (using the new rule “max +20%” allowed by IEEE) within-5% (‘99-‘00) or +5% (‘03-‘04) of budget IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 11

  12. use max # of allowed pages in remaining 2005 issues current publication queue: 75 papers ready at IEEE ALL pending papers shall be published by the end of 2005 June 256 Aug 224 Oct 202 Dec 220 (with extra workforce at IEEE) a paper accepted today will not appear before Feb06(9 months later) keep page budget high for 2006 T-RO will consolidate the page increase, with a budget of 1290 pages (possibly, using then a “+10%” to reach 1420 pages) allows reducing publication queue and finding space for special issues … looking towards 2005/06 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 12

  13. Rapid posting (before actual print) Institutional access (hits for RAS revenues) Links to T-RA (for cont’ed access) T-RO in IEEE Xplore 2.0 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 13

  14. Multimedia in IEEE Xplore 2.0 (downloadable next to paper) Multimedia in T-RO • authors wishing to submit multimedia material (videos) with their papers • multimedia are "playable" files (.midi, .mov, .mpeg, .wav, etc.) or "dataset" files (e.g., blogs, raw data with programs to manipulate them) • trialsmade already for few T-RO papers: compatibility problems were experienced (codecs not available, need to downgrade) • will start as soon as possible (following revised IEEE guidelines) IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 14

  15. T-RO in Manuscript Central • T-RO continues to monitor the experience of T-ASE, waiting for a stable solution to the needs of editorial reporting and for more flexibility in use • 3 months to go on line, including testing T-RO shifted the move to MC v3 to 2006 IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Barcelona, Spain - 23 April 2005 AdCom Meeting 15
