Get your IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine paper right the first time: a ready-made structure with the right abstract and citations, so editors see your science, not formatting slips.

Submitting to IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the IEEE Computational Intelligence 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.
It is a manuscript shell aligned to IEEE Computational Intelligence 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 Computational Intelligence Magazine journal page before you draft.
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 Computational Intelligence Magazine guide for authors lists, and cite figures and tables in order.
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 Computational Intelligence Magazine guide for authors before you submit.
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.
| Element | IEEE Comput Intell Magazine requirement |

| Main text | Regular Papers: typically 10 pages in IEEE two-column format (including figures and references), maximum 15 pages with over-length page charges. Survey/Review Papers: typically 15 pages in IEEE two-column format, maximum 21 pages with over-length page charges. Letters (Correspondence): maximum 6 pages in IEEE two-column format, maximum 9 pages with over-length page charges. Immersive Articles (AI-eXplained): no specific page limit stated |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | Up to 5 keywords specified on first page of submitted manuscript (for Regular Papers). Abstract should include 3-4 different keywords or phrases |
| References | Standard IEEE format (numbered references in square brackets) |
| Peer review | Double-anonymous peer review (minimum of two independent reviewers, where identities of reviewers are not known to authors and reviewers do not know identities of authors) |
| Submission | ieee.atyponrex.com/journal/cim-ieee |
Read the IEEE Computational Intelligence 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 Computational Intelligence Magazine in under a page.
Skim two or three recent IEEE Comput Intell 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 Computational Intelligence Magazine journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
