Announcing the IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology

Monday, September 2nd, 2019

COMING SOON! IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology

http://ieee-oj-nano.org/

As a gold fully open access journal publishing high-quality peer reviewed papers, IEEE Open Journal of Nanotechnology (OJ-NANO) covers the theory, design, and development of nanotechnology and its scientific, engineering, and industrial applications. OJ-NANO, which will be fully compliant with funder mandates, including Plan S, will begin accepting submissions in fall 2019 and publish its inaugural articles in early 2020.  An independent editorial board will drive the IEEE Nanotechnology Council’s commitment to publish high-quality articles with cutting-edge studies and breakthroughs in nanotechnology.  OJ-NANO will follow IEEE’s established high standard of peer review, drawing on experts in the nanotechnology technical community to publish the most highly cited content.

An International Editorial Board, composing of a team of world-leading nanotechnology scientists and engineers, and led by an EiC and two Co-EiCs, will ensure that OJN will publish research results of the latest advancements in nanotechnology.

Call for Nominations – 2020 IEEE Nanotechnology Distinguished Lecturers

Friday, August 30th, 2019

Submission deadline 15-Oct

The IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) is seeking nominations for distinguished lectures. The NTC has created a distinguished lecturers program to enhance the visibility of NTC among nanotechnology societies. The NTC Distinguished Lecturers are appointed to honor excellent speakers who have made technical, industrial or entrepreneurial contributions of high quality to the field of nanotechnology and science, and to enhance the technical programs of the Nanotechnology Council chapters and conferences. Consideration is given to having a well-balanced variety of speakers who can address a wide range of topics of current interest in the fields covered by the Society.

The term for the Lecturers is from January 1 until December 31 of 2020. The Lecturers serve for a one year term, and may be reappointed for one additional year with approval of the NTC Distinguished Lecturer Committee. A budget will be provided each Lecturer to give lectures for NTC Chapters and NTC Conferences based on availability of funding through the NTC. DLs are expected to give a minimum of 2 lectures per year as part of their commitment to serve.

Call for Nominations/Applications: Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology

Friday, August 9th, 2019

Nomination/Application Deadline: October 15, 2019

The IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC) invites nominations and applications for the position of Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology (TNANO). The Editor-in-Chief appointment is for a two-year term starting January 1, 2020, renewable twice, for a total of six years.

The IEEE Transactions on Nanotechnology is devoted to the publication of manuscripts of archival value in the general area of nanotechnology, which is one of the fastest growing and most promising technological developments for the next generation and beyond. There has been significant progress in the field of nanotechnology for the last decade; but, we do not see yet major breakthroughs to change the field’s paradigm and the field is still growing. We will closely monitor the progress of the nano field and will further revise the scope, as needed, to reflect the reality of the discipline.
