The papers that appear in the Proceedings of the IEEE Int’l Frequency Control Symposium are not fully refereed publications because only the abstracts were refereed, and the abstracts were refereed only to determine if the paper was suitable for presentation at the Symposium. The papers submitted for the Proceedings are printed as submitted; they are not refereed. Therefore, please consider also submitting your paper to the IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control. In many organizations, a conference paper counts for less than a refereed journal paper (e.g., during promotion considerations). Moreover, the Transactions have several times the circulation of the Proceedings. (Many libraries that subscribe to the Transactions do not purchase the Proceedings.) The Transactions are considered to be an "archival journal;" the Proceedings are not.

To submit your paper to the Transactions, please see the "Information for Contributors." Papers submitted to the Transactions undergo a rigorous peer review.
