I&M MAGAZINE

Aim & Scope

The IEEE Instrumentation & Measurement Magazine covers a wide variety of topics in instrumentation, measurement and systems that measure or instrument equipment or other systems. The magazine has the goal of providing readable introductions and overviews of technology in instrumentation and measurement (IM) to a wide engineering audience. It does this through articles, tutorials, columns, and departments. Its goal is to cross disciplines to encourage further research and development in IM.

To such aim, articles are expected to address open problems and challenging topics in the IM framework.

If you would like to write an article or tutorial for the magazine, please review the Magazine’s author guidelines and submit the prepared to the Editorial Manager submission system. More general information about publishing in an IEEE Magazine, including main difference between publishing on a Magazine or a Journal, may be found here.

IMM Issues are available through IEEE Xplore and BrightCopy. Please use the links below to access each issue. To access BrightCopy, use your email address as your login ID and your IEEE number as your password.
