IEEE TUFFC Started Publishing Color Figures Online from October 2006 Issue
Starting with the October 2006 issue, the IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (TUFFC) publishes color figures online with corresponding grayscale figures in print without additional charges if authors follow the multimedia manuscript submission procedure in the Information for Contributors. The "color figures" icon in http://www.ieee-uffc.org/tr/mexample_icons.zip indicates in the print version of the Transactions that a color version of the figure is available online. It also links to the color figure submitted originally by the authors for viewing details. Because of the sizes of color figures and the additional editorial work such as making two sets of PostScript files in which they remain identical after replacing grayscale with color, authors should request color figures online only when it is necessary. The color figure must be in JPEG (Joint Photographic Expert Group) or GIF (Graphics Interchange Format) format to reduce file size and to decrease the bandwidth usage on the TUFFC server.
IEEE TUFFC Started Accepting Submission of Multimedia Manuscripts on August 1, 2003
On August 1, 2003, the IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (TUFFC) started to accept submission of multimedia manuscripts via its Manuscript Central website. Detailed information for preparation and submission of multimedia manuscripts is in the "Information for Contributors". An example of PDF multimedia file is at: http://www.ieee-uffc.org/tr/mexample.pdf. The multimedia contents (color pictures, sound, movies, or animations) can be accessed by clicking on appropriate multimedia icons within the PDF file.
If you don't have a fast internet connection, or you want to avoid difficulties due to complicated layers of internet security settings, you may download the following zip-compressed file to your computer for a smooth playback of multimedia contents. After unzipping the file, a folder (directory) "mexample" that contains all relevant multimedia files is produced. In this folder, please open the file, mexample.pdf, and then click on the icons in the file for your multimedia experiences. The zip-compressed multimedia example is downloadable from: http://www.ieee-uffc.org/tr/mexample.zip. For your convenience, multimedia icons (zip compressed) for production of TUFFC are also availabe for your use. The file is downloadable from: http://www.ieee-uffc.org/tr/mexample_icons.zip.
IEEE TUFFC Started Using Manuscript Central on June 1, 2002
To speed up the review process and shorten the time between manuscript submission and publication, on June 1, 2002, the IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (TUFFC) adopted an electronic submission and peer-review system, Manuscript Central (MC). All manuscripts are accepted electronically only - through the TUFFC Manuscript Central website. For detailed information for preparation and submission of your manuscripts via MC, please click the link "Information for Contributors".
To facilitate the peer-review process, we have established a Technical Interest Profiling System (TIPS). A full list of the TIPS is in the "Information for Contributors". When submitting a manuscript, authors are requested to select ONE and ONLY ONE of the TIPS categories and subcategories (i.e., choose one category and one subcategory that belongs to the category) that best reflects the focus of their manuscript.
