IEEE Industry Applications Society Publication Pathway
-
IEEE DELCON 2026 is technically co-sponsored by the IEEE Industry Applications Society. As per IEEE IAS policy, selected high-quality presented papers from technically co-sponsored conferences may be considered for further review for journal extension opportunities in:
- IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications
Link: https://ias.ieee.org/publications/ieee-transactions-on-industry-applications/ - IEEE Industry Applications Magazine
Link: https://ias.ieee.org/publications/ieee-industry-applications-magazine/
Such consideration is subject to applicable IEEE IAS technical co-sponsorship terms, journal scope, substantial revision requirements, and independent peer review.
Authors should note that any extended journal version must follow the applicable IEEE publication policies, including proper citation of the conference version and sufficient technical extension beyond the conference paper.
- IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications
Nature Portfolio Collection on Implantable Wireless Communication Technologies
-
Authors working in biomedical, implantable, intra-body, and wireless communication technologies may note the Nature Portfolio Collection on “Implantable Wireless Communication Technologies.”
Editors: Hamed Rahmani, PhD, New York University, United States; and Syed Mohammad Zafaruddin, PhD, BITS Pilani, India.
The Collection invites submissions on implantable wireless systems across RF, mmWave/THz, optical, acoustic, and hybrid approaches, as well as wireless power transfer, miniaturization, packaging, materials, security, and biomedical applications.
Relevant extended versions of conference papers may be submitted independently to the Collection, provided they substantially go beyond the conference proceedings version and comply with Nature Portfolio editorial and peer-review policies.
Submission deadline: 26 November 2026
IEEE Transactions on Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communications
-
Special Issue: AI-Powered Frontiers in Molecular, Biological, and Multi-Scale Communication
This special issue focuses on AI-enabled advances in molecular, biological, and multi-scale communication systems, including bio-nano networks, intra-body communication, synthetic biological systems, and intelligent biomedical communication frameworks.
Submission deadline: 1 October 2026
This special issue is listed as an independent opportunity relevant to selected IEEE DELCON 2026 themes.
Note to Authors
-
Authors should carefully review the scope, deadlines, formatting requirements, publication policies, and peer-review procedures of the respective journals, collections, or special issues before submission.
