The IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits and Systems (TCAD) is a monthly publication. Manuscripts considered for publication should focus on algorithms, methods, techniques, and tools for the automated design of integrated circuits and systems, and on related areas. Submitted papers may be of a tutorial or research nature. Research papers must present original contributions and must show significant new material over descriptions or derivations available elsewhere. Tutorial papers should review the state-of-the-art in specific areas of CAD and, at the same time, present readers with key research perspectives and future challenges.

The IEEE must, of necessity, assume that material submitted for publication is available for general dissemination. It is the responsibility of the Author, not the IEEE, to determine whether disclosure of their material requires the prior consent of other parties, and if so, to obtain it.

Manuscript Submission

Only electronic submissions will be considered. Please click here for detailed instructions.

Review Process

The IEEE Transactions on Computer-Aided Design of Integrated Circuits And Systems (TCAD) publishes only peer-reviewed papers. The Editor-in-Chief will assign a submitted manuscript to an Associate Editor, who will rely on peer reviews to judge the paper. Based on the Associate Editor's recommendation, the Editor-in-Chief will accept or reject the manuscript, or ask Authors to revise the paper so that it can undergo another round of review. On acceptance, the paper will be typeset by IEEE. IEEE will send galley proofs to the primary Author, and requires the Author to proofread and correct these in a timely manner.

Page Charges

After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the Author's institution will be approached with a request to pay a voluntary charge of $110 per page to cover part of the cost of publication. If the voluntary page charge is not honored, IEEE will charge a mandatory page charge of $175 per page for each page in excess of nine pages for a full paper. The Author will receive 100 free reprints (without covers) only if the voluntary page charge is honored. Detailed instructions will accompany the page proofs.

Copyright

It is the policy of the IEEE to own the copyright to the technical contributions it publishes. To comply with IEEE copyright policy, Authors are required to sign an IEEE Copyright Transfer Form before publication in either the print or electronic medium. Upon acceptance, Authors must submit a signed copy of this form with their final manuscript.
