Selected Journals

Here are some selected journals in the discipline of Electrical Engineering, many of which are in electronic format.

ACS Photonics
ACS Photonics publishes Research Articles, Letters, Perspectives, and Reviews, to encompass the full scope of published research in this field. Among the areas the journal covers are:
Molecular and nano-photonics
Solid state inorganic materials for optoelectronics
Polymer and organic optoelectronic materials
Plasmonics and optical metamaterials
Photonic crystals
Automatica
A leading archival publication in the field of systems and control. The field encompasses today a broad set of areas and topics, and is thriving not only within itself but also in terms of its impact on other fields, such as communications, computers, biology, energy and economics.
Critical Reviews in Solid State and Materials Sciences
Brings you the latest and most important new developments and understandings. New and emerging theoretical and experimental topics are emphasized in the disciplines of condensed matter physics, physical chemistry, materials, and electrical, chemical and mechanical engineering.
Energy and Buildings
An international journal publishing articles with explicit links to energy use in buildings. The aim is to present new research results, and new proven practice aimed at reducing the energy needs of a building and improving indoor environment quality.
IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials
Published by the IEEE Communications Society for tutorials and surveys covering all aspects of the communications field. Telecommunications technology is progressing at a rapid pace, and the IEEE Communications Society is committed to providing researchers and other professionals the information and tools to stay abreast. IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials focuses on integrating and adding understanding to the existing literature on communications, putting results in context
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
Publishes high-quality papers on the theory, design, and applications of control engineering. Two types of contributions are regularly considered:
1) Papers: Presentation of significant research, development, or application of control concepts.
2) Technical Notes and Correspondence: Brief technical notes, comments on published areas or established control topics, corrections to papers and notes published in the Transactions.
In addition, special papers (tutorials, surveys, and perspectives on the theory and applications of control systems topics) are solicited.
International Journal of Robotics Research
The first scholarly publication on robotics research; it continues to supply scientists and students in robot and related fields - artificial intelligence, applied mathematics, computer science, electrical and mechanical engineering - with timely, multidisciplinary material
Materials Horizons
A premier journal publishing first reports of exceptional significance across the breadth of materials research. It is an innovative, community-focused, dynamic journal guided by world-renowned editorial board members.The journal features research at the cutting-edge interface of materials science with chemistry, physics, biology and engineering.
Nature Nanotechnology
A multidisciplinary journal that publishes papers of the highest quality and significance in all areas of nanoscience and nanotechnology. The journal covers research into the design, characterization and production of structures, devices and systems that involve the manipulation and control of materials and phenomena at atomic, molecular and macromolecular scales.
Proceedings of the IEEE
The most highly-cited general interest journal in electrical engineering and computer science, the Proceedings is the best way to stay informed on an exemplary range of topics. This journal also holds the distinction of having the longest useful archival life of any EE or computer related journal in the world! Since 1913, the Proceedings of the IEEE has been the leading journal to provide in-depth tutorial and review coverage of the technical developments that shape our world.
