COMMENTS (use for further explanation): 1. IAS uses a single manuscript submission and review workflow to process both Transactions and Magazine submissions. The decision between Transactions and Magazine publication is made at the time the review is completed. For that reason, there is one set of review performance statistics for the Society as a whole that applies to both publications. However, the sub-to-e-Pub and sub-to-pub statistics for the Magazine are different from the corresponding metrics for papers published in the Transactions. That difference is addressed in the PRAC report submitted on IAS Magazine. 2. Due to page count budget constraints, the Magazine is only able to publish 42-45 papers per year. Papers that are approved for publication in excess of that limit are transferred to Transactions for publication. 3. As discussed above, the IAS workflow does not allow administrative rejections for reasons other than those specifically allowed in PSPB policies. 4. IAS is strongly committed to timely completion of reviews. The primary metric we use in promoting that concept within the community is first decision time for two reasons. Firstly, first decision time reflects the effectiveness of the process in delivering timely decisions, and isn’t distorted by authors who fail to submit required revisions by the requested deadline. Secondly, we believe that if we are successful in getting our AEs to deliver timely first decisions, the discipline required to achieve that goal will carry over and result in optimized delivery of final decisions. The fact that IAS is comprised of twenty technical committees with a wide variety of traditions means that there are instances in which the traditions of individual committees will result in first decision times for those committees that are longer than is the case with other committees. That’s not important. What is important is that each committee deliver on the commitments it makes to its authors. (This is essentially the standard of quality embodied in ISO 9000). For that reason, we have a process whereby AEs are regularly reminded about the status of the papers to which they are assigned. In addition, each committee receives a monthly report that identifies papers that have been in review for more than 90 days without a decision. That report is intended to help committees identify AEs who are not performing up to the standards of the committee. Finally, a version of that report is also sent to the Society Executive each month. Technical committees are made up of volunteers, and it is very common for individual committees to find themselves in periods when their volunteer leadership is failing to perform, and the so-called ‘Red Flag’ report is intended to help the Society Executive identify committees that need executive assistance. It is inevitable that there will be occasional instances in which papers encounter delays in spite of the best efforts of committed volunteers. Evaluation of the overall performance of the Society leads IAS Leadership to conclude that the overall first decision performance of the Society is excellent in spite of a few outliers. 5. There are a few instances in which authors voluntarily withdraw submissions. In addition IAS practice is that papers that receive a ‘revise and resubmit’ decision following review, but where the author opted to not submit a revision, are subsequently re-categorized as ‘withdrawn’ for statistical purposes. Most of the papers reflected on this line are instances in which the author opted to abandon the paper rather than submit a requested revision.
COMMENTS: The authors of papers are split almost evenly between the U.S.A., Region 8 and Region 10. It has been challenging to find suitable sources of papers from Region 9, in part because many conferences in the region have papers written in Spanish or Portuguese. F. COMPETITOR PUBLICATIONS List ALL the competitor publications, including those of the IEEE, other learned societies, and commercial publishers. Briefly compare the scope and status of the five most important of these. Electric Power Systems Research (http://www.journals.elsevier.com/electric-power-systems-research/) Elsevier Scope: Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims to present to the international community important results of work in this field, whether in the form of research, development, application or design. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal's purview. • Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to discoveries in solar related generation. • Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV development to line routing and design. • Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems. • Distribution techniques – underground installation and equipment development. • The utilization area from energy conservation methods to distributed load levelling techniques. • Systems studies including control techniques and planning.

Well-known measures exist for comparing periodicals with respect to the “impact” they have on the field. While no judgment is made here on the effectiveness or validity of these measures, because of their use in published lists, in this section you are asked to provide such information. For the IEEE periodical reported on herein, and for each of the five competitor publications listed above, please complete the table below. This information (for most publications in the field) was provided to the EIC for this Review, but may also be obtained from IEEE staff (because it is a commercial product, the information is not readily available electronically). Definitions of these measures are as follows: Impact factor: Average number of citations of articles over a two-year period divided by the number of articles published in the journal in the same period. Citation Half-Life: The number of journal publication years going back from the current year which account for 50% of the total citation received by the journal during the current year. Immediacy Index: The proportion of citations that refer to articles appearing within the most immediate past period (year?) Eigenfactor Score: The Eigenfactor Score is based on the number of times articles from the journal published in the past five years have been cited in each year, but it also considers which journals have contributed these citations, so that highly cited journals will influence the network more than lesser cited journals. References from one article in a journal to another article from the same journal are removed, so that Eigenfactor Scores are not influenced by journal self-citation. Article Influence Score: The Article Influence determines the average influence of a journal's articles over the first five years after publication. It is calculated by dividing a journal’s Eigenfactor Score by the number of articles in the journal, normalized as a fraction of all articles in all publications. Circulation: Please provide data for print and online subscriptions, as well as Institutional/Corporate numbers for this IEEE periodical only.
