IEEE Sensors Journal – some metrics
Published ~5,000 pages in 2013 Articles published*: 475 in 2012; 626 in 2013 Xplore downloads*: 335K in 2012; 180K in 1H 2013 Sub-to-epub (week s) – 4Q12: 22.9 ave.; 20.8 median – – 1Q13: 18.2 ave.; 12.4 median IEEE, 1Q13: 34.0 ave.; 29.3 median 100% of submissions plagiarism checked List of review papers added to website (69, so far) -------------- * Determine no. 1 source of revenues, but with 2 yr lag 8 4/30/2020
IEL Distribution Algorithms
Online periodicals algorithm:
Usage: 55% Content: 35% Base: 10%
Online conference pub algorithm:
Usage: 65% Content: 35%
Periodicals Usage: 55% of online net
Usage defined as “ Article Views ” for content (i.e. PDF, HTML), not abstracts or search hits, via IEEE Xplore.
Year X ’
s budget is based on calendar year X-2 activity*.
Usage measured by use of only institutional package users (IEL/ASPP Online), not usage in other venues (i.e. member usage, Enterprise usage, nonmember online individual sub usage)
Publication ’ s portion is proportional to its share of the total institutional periodical package usage
--------------- * 2014 budget is based on the 2012 usage. For conference pubs, it’s based on 2012 + 2011 usage.
Periodicals Content: 35% of online net
Based on the amount of content ( “ articles ” ) contributed to Xplore
Year X ’ s budget is based on 3-year window, CYs (X-2) + (X-3) + (X-4)*
Publication ’ s portion is proportional to its share of the total periodical article content --------------- * 2014 budget is based on 2012 + 2011 + 2010 content. The same is true for conference pubs.
Base: 10% of online net
Equal distribution of the 10% to all societies/councils that provide periodical publication content in that year to Xplore 2012 “Base” = $78,574

Last year:
o Free downloads took place over 6 days; 2 days during the conference and 4 days following the conference.
o Presentations downloaded 10,161 times as of day 6 • o 290 of the 650 registrants downloaded at least one presentation (average = 35 per downloader) • o 150 presentations of the 266 oral presentations (of the 580 accepted papers), plus 5 tutorials were recorded. The rest were poster papers & authors who opted out on copyright form. 42 4/30/2020

Newsletter
Why Discontinue It?
Website has been more of a "newsletter" than the newsletter; more timely too.
The newsletters we have published just repeated old news, like the award winners Councils have no members to be kept informed. Are the website & email blasts not sufficient to keep the sensor community informed?
We have a Newsletter tab on our website, a cause of disappointment?
