The document discusses IEEE Xplore, a digital library providing access to over 3 million articles from IEEE publications. It covers the history and scope of IEEE, which was formed by a merger between the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers. IEEE Xplore contains peer-reviewed papers, standards, and conference proceedings covering electrical engineering, electronics, computer science and related fields. The quality and breadth of its content makes it a valuable resource for research.

3. About the IEEE World’s largest technical membership association with more than 400,000 members (80,000 students) in over 160 countries ~1800 members in the Netherlands Core areas of activity Membership Publishing Conferences Standards Education IEEE’s Mission To foster technological innovation and excellence for the benefit of humanity

4. A small group of individuals met in New York and founded the AIEE to advance the new field and represent the US at the 1884 International Electrical Exhibition in Philadelphia . 1884: The American Institute of Electrical Engineers is founded Alexander Graham Bell Thomas A. Edison

5. 1912: The Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) is founded Radio, a new electrical technology, arose in the first decade of the twentieth century. With the new industry came a new society, IRE, modeled on the AIEE, but devoted to radio, and later increasingly to electronics. 1922 Triode vacuum tube inventor Lee de Forest with a radio 1912 Radio telegraph operators’ communications with the sinking Titanic demonstrated the power of radio 1901 Guglielmo Marconi and George Kemp with equipment used in transatlantic wireless telegraphy

6. AIEE + IRE = IEEE The idea that there should be one organization for all electrical engineers was an old one, and became more powerful as the profession expanded beyond its separate roots in power and radio. In 1962, the boards and memberships of the two institutes agreed to merge. On January 1, 1963, the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers was born with 150,000 members. 1962 Symposium on the proposed merger, IRE National Convention Special merger issue of the Proceedings of the IRE The badge of the new IEEE combined the right hand rule from the IRE with the kite from the AIEE

11. What makes IEEE content valuable for you? IEEE peer review - the process in which a journal article or conference paper is submitted by the prospective publisher to experts in the field for critical evaluation prior to publication, a standard procedure in scholarly publishing. Synonymous with referred or juried review. Key questions Is the science accurate? Does the paper make a unique contribution to the “body of knowledge?” Assures credibility and authority of content Beyond news or business trade sources Far beyond open web content Most frequently cited content in technical literature & in Patents Quality of Content Peer Reviewed Periodicals and Conference Proceedings

12. According to the latest report, IEEE publishes: # 1 journal in Electrical and Electronic Engineering # 1 in Imaging Science # 1 in Robotics # 1 in Artificial Intelligence # 1 in Transportation Technology # 4 in Biomedical Engineering 16 of the top 20 journals in Electrical and Electronic Engineering 9 of the top 10 journals in Telecommunications 11 of top 20 journals in Computer Science, Hardware & Architecture 8 of top 20 journals in Computer Science, Software Engineering 3 of top 20 journals in Computer Science, Information Systems Quality of Content Most frequently cited technical publisher according to Thomson Reuters “Journal Citation Report” The ISI JCR published by Thomson Reuters presents “quantifiable statistical data that provides a systematic, objective way to evaluate the world’s leading journals” (2009 Report released June 2010)
