The IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems (JETCAS) is published quarterly and solicits, with particular emphasis on emerging areas, special issues on topics that cover the entire scope of the IEEE Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society, namely the theory, analysis, design, tools, and implementation of circuits and systems, spanning their theoretical foundations, applications, and architectures for signal and information processing.

There are several key differences between JETCAS and other IEEE CAS Society publications that authors should be aware of:

1,JETCAS only accepts manuscript submissions for special issues that are currently open. Papers that are not relevant to an open special issue should be submitted to one of the other IEEE CAS Society publications; 

2,Only regular papers, 8 to 14 pages in length without authors' biography and formatted according to the two-colums IEEE style file, should be submitted to JETCAS. 

3,There are fairly strict page limits for each JETCAS issue. If a particular issue attracts a very large number of submissions, authors of accepted papers may be asked to reduce the length of their manuscripts after the review process in order to accommodate all accepted papers.

4,An individual may not be author or co-author on more than two submissions.

5,Guest Editors may not submit original technical papers for the special issue. However, Guest Editors are highly encouraged to provide a single perspective paper together to put readers into the context of the special issue.
