How to Use the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine Template | A Step-by-Step Guide
Authored by Sumalatha Gangadhar | Published on 13 August, 2026
Submitting to IEEE Communications Standards Magazine goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine guide for authors before peer review, so formatting, structure, and required statements should be right on the first draft rather than repaired during upload. This template sets that structure up for you.
What is the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine Template?
It is a manuscript shell aligned to IEEE Communications Standards Magazine. It covers front matter, the abstract the journal expects, a body organized to the journal's article types, and a reference list in the journal's required style. Confirm current scope and article types on the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine journal page before you draft.
What's actually in an IEEE Communications Standards Magazine submission:
Prepare the title, authors, affiliations, and ORCID iDs. Write the abstract to the journal's rule and word limit, organize the body to the article type, and apply the required reference style from the first citation. Complete every declaration (ethics, competing interests, funding, data availability) the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
What separates a clean submission from one that gets kicked back:
The common failure modes are formatting or reference style that does not match the guide for authors, missing required statements, and an incomplete portal checklist. Clear all three against the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine guide for authors before you submit.
What does this IEEE Communications Standards Magazine Template include?
The shell mirrors what editorial staff check first: article-type fit, the abstract rules, required declarations, and the journal's reference style. For more detail see the author resources. When your draft is ready, upload it through the journal's submission system.
Steps to Use This Template with SciSpace Agent
- Click Start Writing on this page. The SciSpace Agent prompt screen opens with the template loaded.
- Use the loaded template, or upload a version your group already uses for IEEE Communications Standards Magazine.
- Edit the prompt with your topic and article type, and note any requirement from the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine guide for authors.
- Run the prompt. The agent drafts into the correct structure and reference style.
- Use View Outputs to verify required statements and formatting are present.
- Export and submit through the journal's submission system.
IEEE Communications Standards Magazine Template Structure at a Glance
| Element | IEEE Communications Standards Magazine requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | The guide does not specify a word limit for abstracts or whether they should be structured or unstructured. The guide only states that abstracts should be included in the submission. The overall manuscript (including abstract, title, authors' info, body, figures, tables, captions, footnotes, acknowledgments, references, and bios) must not exceed 4,500 words total |
| Main text | Maximum 4,500 words total for entire manuscript, inclusive of title, authors' names/info, abstract, body (introduction to conclusion), figures, tables, captions, footnotes, acknowledgments, references, and authors' bios. Authors' bios must not exceed 150 words each. Tutorial style required, comprehensible to non-specialists. Mathematical equations should not be used; in justified cases, up to 2 simple equations may be allowed (more requires permission). Figures and tables limited to combined total of 6 |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Not specified in the official author guidelines |
| References | Numbered sequentially (not alphabetically), limited to 15. All references to online sources (website URLs, web-posted papers) must show an 'Accessed on' date. Following DORA recommendation, citations should be of primary literature in favor of reviews to give credit to the group(s) who first reported a finding |
| Peer review | Single-blind/single-anonymous (standard IEEE practice: authors' identities are visible to reviewers, but reviewers' identities are not visible to authors) |
| Submission | ieee.atyponrex.com/journal/m-comstd |
Quick Tips for Using the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine Template
Read the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine guide for authors once before drafting and once before upload. Draft the abstract after results are stable. Set the reference style before adding citations. Keep a cover letter that states your contribution and fit to IEEE Communications Standards Magazine in under a page.
Best Practices
Skim two or three recent IEEE Communications Standards Magazine papers to calibrate depth and figure style. Make the novelty clear in the first two pages. Deposit data and code when the policy on the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Before You Submit: Final Check
Do one focused pass against the IEEE Communications Standards Magazine guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
