Submitting to IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the IEEE Industrial Electronics 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 Industrial Electronics 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 Industrial Electronics 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 Industrial Electronics 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 Industrial Electronics 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 Industrial Electronics Magazine requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured abstract required. Must be self-contained without abbreviations, footnotes, or references. Should be a concise yet comprehensive reflection of the article content. While no specific word limit is stated in the IEM guidelines, typical IEEE practice is 150-250 words |
| Main text | Main Features (first submission): max 5000 words excluding references, max 8 figures or tables, max 50 references. Main Features (final submission): max 6000 words excluding references, max 10 figures or tables, max 60 references, max 100 words per author bio. All other technical contributions: max 2500 words, max 6 figures or tables |
| 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 | IEEE style (numbered references). cited in square brackets [1], [2], etc., in order of appearance. Full formatting details per IEEE Editorial Style Manual |
| Peer review | Double-blind (double-anonymous). The submission guidelines explicitly require that 'neither authors' names nor affiliations should be included in the manuscript' to ensure a fair review process, indicating manuscripts must be anonymized |

Read the IEEE Industrial Electronics 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 Industrial Electronics Magazine in under a page.
Skim two or three recent IEEE Industrial Electronics 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 Industrial Electronics Magazine journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the IEEE Industrial Electronics Magazine guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
