General Submissions
IEEE Transactions on Privacy is now open for submissions.
https://www.computer.org/digital-library/journals/pr/cfp-general-submissions

Submissions Due: Ongoing

TP is now accepting submissions. To submit an article, please use the
IEEE Author Portal (https://ieee.atyponrex.com/journal/tp-cs) . Detailed information on submitting your paper to
an IEEE Computer Society publication can be found on the Author
Guidelines page (https://www.computer.org/publications/author-resources/authors)

TP provides a multidisciplinary forum for theoretical, methodological,
engineering, and applications aspects of privacy and data
protection. Privacy, in this context, is defined as the freedom from
unauthorized intrusion in its broadest sense, arising from any
activity in information collection, information processing,
information dissemination, or invasion.

We invite you to submit a paper on the following topics within privacy:

    Data protection specification, design, implementation, testing,
      and validation
    Information collection, processing, and dissemination
    Significant advances in theoretical models
    Engineering tools
    Design frameworks and languages
    Architectures
    Infrastructures
    Model-based approaches
    Study cases
    Standards

Contributions to solving privacy problems in various application
domains such as healthcare are also accepted. Purely theoretical
papers with no potential application or purely developmental work
without any methodological contribution or generalizability would not
be in scope.

 Why Publish in IEEE Transactions on Privacy:

    Broad Exposure: Your work will be published in both IEEE Xplore®
    and the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library, and have the
    opportunity to be shared with 5 million unique monthly users.

    Rapid and Vigorous Peer Review: Get published quickly, with a peer
    review turnaround of 10 weeks for most accepted papers.

    Retain Copyright: Authors can distribute their work with an even
    wider audience thanks to the Creative Commons license (either CCBY
    or CCBY-NC-ND) which allows the content to be reused, downloaded,
    and copied for noncommercial purposes, provided they provide

Publishing in an Open Access Journal

TP is 100% open access, meaning that all content is freely available
without charge to readers or their institutions. All articles are
published under Creative Commons licenses (either CCBY or CCBY-NC-ND),
and the author retains copyright. Users are allowed to read, download,
copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the
articles published under CCBY, or use them for any other lawful
purpose, as long as proper attribution is given. Articles published
under CCBY-NC-ND are also available to users under the same conditions
as CCBY, for non-commercial purposes. Additionally, the work may not
be changed in any way.

The articles in this journal are peer-reviewed in accordance with the
requirements set forth in the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual (sections
8.2.1.C & 8.2.2.A). Each published article will be reviewed by a
minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-anonymous peer
review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to
the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the
authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance.
Article Processing Charges (APC): US$1995 – effective 1 January 2024

Open access is provided through the payment of an article processing
charge (APC) paid after acceptance. APCs are often financed by an
author’s institution or the funder supporting their research.

    IEEE members receive a 5% discount. (US$99.75)*
    IEEE Computer Society members receive a 20% discount. (US$199.50)* 

*These discounts cannot be combined.

Additionally, IEEE offers open-access programs designed to make it
convenient for institutions and funders to support and manage costs
for authors, and simplify the publishing process.

    Low and Lower-Middle Income Country OA Discounts

Formatting Your Article for Submission

    Format your article for submission by using the TP article
    template, located in the IEEE Template Selector. Word and LaTeX
    versions are available.

    Submit your article text in PDF, DOC, or LaTeX format. Visit the
    IEEE Author Center for information on writing the abstract, using
    equations in your article, publishing author names in native
    languages, and more.

    The page limit for TP is 12 double-column pages.

    Submit your figures individually in PS, EPS, PDF, PNG, or TIF
    format. Visit the IEEE Author Center for resolution, size
    requirements, file naming conventions, and more information.

Submitting Via IEEE Author Portal and Guidelines

The Author Portal provides a more user-friendly interface compared to
ScholarOne Manuscripts, but still connects to the journal’s peer
review site. Some key features include:

    Faster and easier article submission (authors can drag and drop
    all files at once)

    Machine learning algorithms which extract key submission
    information from the manuscript files (authors do not have to
    rekey or copy and paste information from their article)

    A single location and interface for authors to perform the entire
    submission and revision process

Once you start a new submission, the instructions on the right side of
the screen will guide you through the submission steps. Please note
that you cannot jump ahead or skip steps; however, you may review or
revise any previously completed steps before completing your
submission. The editorial office won’t see your submission until you
complete the Final Review step.

Manuscripts should not be published or currently submitted for
publication elsewhere.
