Journal Guide

First published in 1977, IATSS Research is an international English-language journal sponsored by the International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences. It seeks to foster a harmonious traffic environment by inspiring all readers, whether interested in today or the future, to contemplate and discuss traffic-related research results drawn from a wide range of academic fields.IATSS Research provides an international forum for the publication of original articles covering a wide range of practical and theoretical aspects of traffic and traffic safety. IATSS Research seeks to improve scientific knowledge, clarifying traffic issues through a comprehensive approach that demands a high level of evidential proof. IATSS Research will publish original research papers addressing any transport mode or traffic participant from any academic discipline including engineering, information and communication technology, sociology, economics, business administration, law, public administration, psychology, education, and medical sciences. Submissions dealing with policy proposals for solving traffic and transport issues may also be accepted. All submissions are subject to peer review.The International Association of Traffic and Safety Sciences (IATSS) was established in 1974 as a public-interest corporation to foster a harmonious traffic environment through the pursuit of international, interdisciplinary research on traffic and traffic safety issues seen in the light of the interrelationship between man, machine and environment.

The IDS Bulletin is a bi-monthly journal that provides a state-of-the-art overview of developing areas of international development to an audience of practitioners, policymakers and researchers, bringing together the latest thinking and research from programmes and events involving the IDS community and presenting them in an accessible manner. The Bulletin promotes the exchange of ideas and discussion between IDS academics and their global partner organisations and publishes authoritative and important work with a fresh global perspective that aims to foster new approaches to policies and practices, and covers the major themes and influences debates within international development.

IEEE Potentials is the magazine dedicated to undergraduate and graduate students and young professionals. IEEE Potentials explores career strategies, the latest in research, and important technical developments. Through its articles, it also relates theories to practical applications, highlights technology's global impact and generates international forums that foster the sharing of diverse ideas about the profession.

IEEE-RITA covers technological applications and research in education including design and research in new learning tools that focus on teaching and learning. The scope includes learning applications, methods, materials and new experiences as they relate to engineering learning. The journal maintains a consistent focus on the IEEE environment inside Electrical Engineering, Electronic Technology, Telecommunications and Computer Science. Main areas include technological applications and research in Education covering the design and research in new learning tools, techniques and materials that focus on teaching and learning as well as learning applications, methods and materials and new experiences of engineering learning, always focusing on the teaching/learning of the IEEE fields inside Electrical Engineering, Electronic Technology, Telecommunications and Computer Science and Engineering.

IEEE Security & Privacy’s primary objective is to stimulate and track advances in security, privacy, and dependability and present these advances in a form that can be useful to a broad cross-section of the professional community—ranging from academic researchers to industry practitioners. It provides articles with both a practical and research bent by the top thinkers in the field of security and privacy, along with case studies, surveys, tutorials, columns, and in-depth interviews and podcasts for the information security industry.

Through special issues, the magazine explores other timely aspects of privacy in areas such as usable security, the Internet of Things, cloud computing, cryptography, and big data. Other popular topics include software, hardware, network, and systems security, privacy-enhancing technologies, data analytics for security and privacy, wireless/mobile and embedded security, security foundations, security economics, privacy policies, integrated design methods, sociotechnical aspects, and critical infrastructure. In addition, the magazine accepts peer-reviewed articles of wide interest under a general call, and also features regular columns on hot topics and interviews with luminaries in the field.

The following topics describe the scope of SSIT and of Technology and Society Magazine: Health and safety implications of technology Engineering ethics and professional responsibility Engineering education in social implications of technology History of electrotechnology Technical expertise and public policy Social issues related to energy Social issues related to information technology Social issues related to telecommunications Systems analysis in public policy decisions Economic issues related to technology Peace technology Environmental implications of technology Beyond these specific topics, Technology and Society Magazine is concerned with the broad area of the social implications of technology, especially electrotechnology. In a general sense the scope of IEEE Technology and Society Magazine overlaps most IEEE Publications since we are concerned with the social implications of technology across the wide range of IEEE fields of interests. Other IEEE publications that are most likely to include specific content that overlaps with ours include Spectrum, Today's Engineer, Computer, Annals of the History of Computing, Communications Magazine, Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine, Transactions on Professional Communication, Transactions on Education, and Engineering Management Review.

IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems focuses on such topics as modeling, simulation, analysis and understanding of social systems from the quantitative and/or computational perspective. "Systems" include man-man, man-machine and machine-machine organizations and adversarial situations as well as social media structures and their dynamics. More specifically, the proposed transactions publishes articles on modeling the dynamics of social systems, methodologies for incorporating and representing socio-cultural and behavioral aspects in computational modeling, analysis of social system behavior and structure, and paradigms for social systems modeling and simulation. The journal also features articles on social network dynamics, social intelligence and cognition, social systems design and architectures, socio-cultural modeling and representation, and computational behavior modeling, and their applications.

The IEEE Transactions on Education (ToE) publishes significant and original scholarly contributions to education in electrical and electronics engineering, computer engineering, computer science, and other fields within the scope of interest of IEEE. Contributions must address discovery, integration, and/or application of knowledge in education in these fields. Articles must support contributions and assertions with compelling evidence and provide explicit, transparent descriptions of the processes through which the evidence is collected, analyzed, and interpreted. While characteristics of compelling evidence cannot be described to address every conceivable situation, generally assessment of the work being reported must go beyond student self-report and attitudinal data.

The scope of the IEEE Transactions on Human-Machine Systems includes the fields of human machine systems. It covers human systems and human organizational interactions including cognitive ergonomics, system test and evaluation, and human information processing concerns in systems and organizations.
