Portfolio of Sensors Council Pubs

IEEE Sensors Journal (SJ) – started 2001

IEEE Internet of Things Journal (IoT-J) – 2014 start IEEE Transactions on Big Data (TBD) – 2015 start Conference proceedings:

- IEEE SENSORS

- IEEE Int’l Symp. on INERTIAL SENSORS and SYSTEMS

(ISISS)

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?
