Overview
The Charter of the TAB Periodicals Committee states that the Committee has oversight responsibility for all Society/ Council (S/C) periodicals. Specifically, the IEEE TAB Periodicals Committee is charged with: ensuringtimeliness and quality of TAB periodicals; assessing proposals for new periodicals and making recommendations to TAB; resolving conflicts between S/Cs on issues of publications; informing TAB on new developments in the area of periodicals; and, assessing and recommending to TAB annual charges for IEEE periodicals. To carry out its responsibilities to TAB, and in particular to address the issues of timeliness and quality, the Periodicals Committee has instituted a five-year review cycle of S/C periodicals, conducted in coordination with the S/C review. The review process is carried out byasubcommittee of the Periodicals Committee, the Periodicals Review and Advisory Committee (PRAC).
Objectives of the Periodicals Review Process
The objectives of the PRAC review process are to:
examine timeliness and quality;
assure that periodicals comply with IEEE policies and procedures;
assist the S/C in enhancing selfawareness of its periodicals;
determine the financial health of the publications (input from TAB Finance Committee); and,
provide suggestions for improvements and share best practices from other S/Cs.
The Review should be viewed as a positive vehicle, with volunteers assisting other volunteers to ensure that all the IEEE periodicals continue to maintain the highest of standards.
Review and Reporting Process
The Review process consists of a face-to-face component and the completion of a report:
For convenience of the S/C, the report is separated into components, for which the following templates are provided to the S/C several months in advance of the scheduled Review:
a summary template in which the S/C provides information that pertains to all of its periodicals;
individual templates for each of the S/C periodicals being reviewed (completed by Editor-in-Chief).
S/C responses (completed first draft of summary and individual periodical reports), along with other relevant information, are provided to the PRAC by the S/C several weeks prior to the face-to-face review.Financial information on the periodicals is inserted by TAB Finance.
The PRAC meets with the S/C officers and periodicals editors in the face-to-face review session scheduled during a TAB series meetings (on a five year cycle for each S/C).
After the face-to-face review session, the PRAC returns the post-review draft to the S/C for further adjustment.
The S/C returns the adjusted draft, consisting of the summary and individual periodical components, which in turn is submitted to the IEEE TAB Periodicals Committee for approval. The process is complete when the final report is submitted to TAB for final approval as an archival record of the Review, to be referenced in future Reviews.

B. SCOPE OF TRANSACTIONS
1.Please provide the most recent formal scope of this periodical as approved by the Technical Activities Board (TAB) and the Periodicals Committee. Please also indicate where a prospective author can easily access the formal scope and indicate the date of the most recent approval by TAB. Note that any changes in the scopeof theperiodical need to be endorsed by the Periodicals Committee andapproved by the Technical Activities Board.
The scope of the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications includes all scope items of the IEEE Industry Applications Society, that is; the advancement of the theory and practice of electrical and electronic engineering in the development, design, manufacture and application of electrical systems, apparatus, devices, and controls to the processes and equipment of industry and commerce; the promotion of safe, reliable, and economic installations; industry leadership in energy conservation and environmental, health, and safety issues; the creation of voluntary engineering standards and recommended practices; and the professional development of its membership..
The date of the most recent scope approval by TAB is 2014.06.21. The scope appears on the inside front cover of the Transactions.
Please note that the official TAB scope for your periodical can be found at:
2.Comment on the overlap of scope with other IEEE Transactions.
There is some overlap with the Transactions of the Power Engineering Society, particularly IEEE Transactions on Power Delivery, in the field of electrical power distribution systems. The overlap is described by the following phrase in the Power Delivery scope: ‘implementation and application issues such as power system protection, instrumentation, communication, and grounding’.This overlap results from matters that are of interest to both electrical utility distribution engineers, served primarily by PES, and power system engineers of other industries served by IAS. The Society also co-sponsors two IEEE Journalswith PES.
There is considerable overlap with IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics. Power electronics is a major part of the IEEE Transactions on Industry Applications. The two journals are somewhat differentiated by the scopes of the respective Societies, with the IAS emphasis being on applications and the PELS emphasis being on design and development. The Society has two joint publications and two joint technical conferences with PELS.
The overlap with IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronicsis primarily in the areas of power electronics, industrial control methods and electric machines. Power electronics and industrial control methods are included in the scope of TIE. Electric machinesare not explicitly included in the TIE scope.
C. EDITORIAL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
1. If applicable, describe the membership and function of the Society/Council AdCom, Publication Committee, Steering Committee, or Periodical Advisory Committee, in overseeing operation of the Transactions and in establishing and administering publication policies and procedures.
In accordance with the Society Constitution and Bylaws,all major decisions regarding the Transactions are subject to approval by the Society Executive Board. This includes all formal policy statements, naming and tenure of Editor-in-Chief, annual page budget, member and non-member subscription prices, and all other financial matters, such as editorial budget. Day-to-day operations are overseen by the Society Publications Department Chair, who is a member of the Society Executive Board, and who reports to the Executive Board.
2. Describe the membership, function, and make-up (such as regional distribution, academic versus industrial, and so forth) of the Associate Editors body (for example, the Transaction’s Editorial Board or Committee) and complete the Tables of Associate Editors and their Demographic Summary below:
