Submitting to IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence goes smoothly when your draft already matches the journal's own rules. Editors screen new manuscripts against the IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence 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 Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence. 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 Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence 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 Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence 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 Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence 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 Transactions on Emerging Topics Comput Intell requirement |
|---|---|
| Abstract | Unstructured, single paragraph, 150-250 words. Must be self-contained without abbreviations, footnotes, or references, and should not contain displayed mathematical equations or tabular material. Should include three or four different keywords or phrases within the abstract text. Same requirements apply to all article types (Survey Papers, Full Papers, Short Papers, and Letters) |
| Main text | Survey Papers: typically limited to 15 pages (mandatory over-length charges for pages in excess of 15; maximum 21 pages total). Full Papers: typically limited to 10 pages (mandatory over-length charges for pages in excess of 10; maximum 15 pages total). Short Papers: typically limited to 6 pages (mandatory over-length charges for pages in excess of 6; maximum 9 pages total). Letters (Comments on Published Papers): limited to 3 pages (mandatory over-length charges apply beyond 3 pages). All limits apply to final accepted manuscripts in standard two-column IEEE format, excluding supplementary materials |
| Declarations | Ethics approval/consent as applicable; competing interests; funding; data availability |
| Figures/tables | Publication-ready; cited in order |
| Supplemental | Upload separately when used |
| Keywords | 2-5 keywords required for all manuscripts. Authors are encouraged to use keywords from the official IEEE keyword list available in Manuscript Central |
| References | IEEE style. References must be placed at the end of the paper in IEEE style |
| Peer review | Double-anonymous (double-blind). The guide explicitly states: 'IEEE TETCI has switched to a Double Anonymous Review Policy. Authors must exclude any author-identifying information in their PDF files.' |
| Submission | ieee.atyponrex.com/journal/tetci-ieee |
Read the IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence 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 Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence in under a page.
Skim two or three recent IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics Comput Intell 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 Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence journal page requires it. Disclose any preprint or conference version with identifiers in the cover letter.
Do one focused pass against the IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence guide for authors: scope, length, reference style, required declarations, and figure quality. Then submit through the journal's submission system.
