Submission Information: Information for Authors
All manuscripts must be submitted through Manuscript Central. If needed, contact the editorial office at cozguner@oztinc.com with any questions or concerns.
English language editing services can help refine the language of your article and reduce the risk of rejection without review. IEEE authors are eligible for a 10% discount at American Journal Experts; visit http://www.aje.com/go/ieee/ to learn more. Please note these services are fee-based and do not guarantee acceptance.
Before submitting a manuscript, authors must:
- Format the paper using IEEE style of double column, single spaced. Templates are available here.
- Include a short biography for all authors at the end of the paper (only for Regular and Survey papers).
- Create an account for the submission site if they do not already possess one.
Authors can choose among 4 kinds of papers, each with its suggested length in IEEE style:
- Regular Papers: 10 pages
- Short Papers: 6 pages
- Practitioner Papers: 6 pages
- Survey Papers: 18 pages
An author may submit papers that exceeds the suggested length but after the final acceptance, provided they pay an overlength charge of $175.00 (US dollars) for each extra page. Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced open access APCs.
Peer Review
The articles in this journal are peer reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections 8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A). Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-blind peer review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.
Abstract Description and Specifications
For an abstract to be effective when displayed in IEEE Xplore® as well as through indexing services such as Compendex, INSPEC, Medline, ProQuest, and Web of Science, it must be concisely yet comprehensively reflect the article it describes. In particular, the abstract must be:
- Contained, without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. It should be a microcosm of the full article.
- No more than 250 words.
- Written as one paragraph and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material.
- Include three or four different keywords or phrases. However over-repetition of such phrases can result in a page being rejected by search engines.
- Grammatically correct.

Additional Resources for Authors
Open Access Publishing option of the IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles
IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Vehicles is a hybrid journal, allowing either traditional manuscript submission or Open Access (author-pays OA) manuscript submission. The OA option, if selected, enables unrestricted public access to the article via IEEE Xplore. The OA option will be offered to the author at the time the manuscript is submitted. If selected, the OA discounted fee of $2,045 must be paid before the article is published in the journal. If you have unusual circumstances about this, please contact the Editor-in-Chief. Any other applicable charges (such as the over-length page charge and/or charge for the use of color in the print format) will be billed separately once the manuscript formatting is complete but prior to the publication. The traditional option, if selected, enables access to all qualified subscribers and purchasers via IEEE Xplore. Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced open access APCs.
Alternative Option for Open Access Publishing in ITS
The new Open Journal of ITS: OJ-ITS
The IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society has established the new IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation System (OJ-TS) for Open Access publications in the field of ITS. OJ-ITS is 100% open access, which means that all content is freely available without charge to users or their institutions. All articles are published under a CC BY 4.0 license, and the author retains copyright. The rapid peer review process of OJ-ITS is targeting a publication time frame of 10 weeks for most accepted papers. OJ-ITS has no page limit. Open access is provided through the payment of an Article Processing Charge (APC) of $2,045 paid after acceptance. Discount conditions are available. Publication is on-line through IEEE Xplore. Information about the IEEE Open Journal of Intelligent Transportation System can be found at: https://www.ieee-itss.org/oj-its
Submitting Final Files: Information for authors of accepted papers
Papers accepted for publication will be published both electronically on IEEE Xplore website and in the printed version of the Transactions.
Authors must submit final files electronically using the submission web site requested items must be compressed in a ZIP file before uploading them on the submission web site.
Requested items:
- A PDF version of the paper and an identical source version using either LaTeX or MSWord. Paper must be formatted using IEEE style (double column, single spaced) whose template is available here.
- Original versions of figures and tables (high definition) in separate files only if they aren’t embedded in the source paper file (accepted formats: PS, EPS, PDF, PNG, TIFF, DOC, PPT, XLS).
- Bio-sketches (in IEEE format) and high-resolutions photos of each of the authors (not required for Short and Practitioner Papers); bio-sketches can be included in the source file or alternatively saved in separate files.
Few weeks after the submission of the final files, the contact author will be contacted by the publishing office to check the proofs of the paper. Authors will have 48 authors to return eventual corrections to the proofs.
Once proofs are validated, the paper will be published in the “early papers” section of IEEE Xplore web site in few days and later in the first available printed issue.
If after the proofs, paper length exceeds the suggested values (see Submit a Paper section), authors will be asked to pay an extra page charge of 175 US dollar for each extra page.
Author Names in Native Languages
IEEE supports the publication of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) author names in the native language alongside the English versions of the names in the author list of an article. For more information, please visit the IEEE Author Center.
Color Printing
If a paper includes color figures, authors can decide to publish their paper in color (additional charges) or in gray tone.
Papers printed in gray tone are published electronically in color on IEEE Xplore if color illustrations are included.
IEEE Copyright
IEEE policy requires that prior to publication all authors must transfer the copyright for their paper to the IEEE via the submission web site when submitting the final files.
