Highest Quality, Greatest Impact

IEEE Publishing makes the exchange of technical knowledge possible with integrity, accuracy, the highest quality, and the greatest impact. PELS seeks to publish the highest quality scientific and educational materials in the areas within its scope. The Society covers the globe to bring comprehensive coverage and breaking news on emerging trends, mature and cutting-edge technologies, research breakthroughs, and so much more. PELS seeks to publish these materials in the most timely fashion possible, with wide and rapid dissemination to its members and the public at large.

AI Policy for PELS Publications

With the rapid development of AI technology we would like to share the following guidelines for authors and reviewers.

For paper authors:

“The use of content generated by artificial intelligence (AI) in an article (including but not limited to text, figures, images, and code) shall be disclosed in the acknowledgments section of any article submitted to an IEEE publication. The AI system used shall be identified, and specific sections of the article that use AI-generated content shall be identified and accompanied by a brief explanation regarding the level at which the AI system was used to generate the content.
The use of AI systems for editing and grammar enhancement is common practice and, as such, is generally outside the intent of the above policy. In this case, disclosure as noted above is recommended.” (IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual, Section 8.2.1.B.10)

For paper reviewers:

“Information or content contained in or about a manuscript under review shall not be processed through a public platform (directly or indirectly) for AI generation of text for a review. Doing so is considered a breach of confidentiality because AI systems generally learn from any input.” (IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual, Section 8.2.1.C.6)

Introducing an AI-Powered Article Search

With the rapid growth of PELS publications, locating the right paper can be challenging. To help with this, PELS is excited to unveil a new AI-powered search tool powered by vector-based search technology. This tool understands the meaning behind words, making locating papers easier. Type a rough description of a potential paper title or combine concepts and let AI guide you to the most relevant results.

Currently, the search results cover two years of articles from the IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics.
