IEEE Transactions on Communications is considered the flagship journal in the field of communications. It has been around for more than half a century (currently at volume 51). It is published 12 times a year with about 20 peer-reviewed papers and letters per issue. It receives about 800 papers per year for review. The reviews are handled by a team of editors from universities and research organizations around the world. Currently, there are 81 editors organized in 7 research subjects.
The journal was born as the Transactions of the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) Professional Group on Communications Systems in 1953. After the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) and the IRE merged to form the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 1963, it was renamed IEEE Transactions on Communications Systems. The name was changed to IEEE Transactions on Communication Technology in 1965 and to its current name in 1971. Since 1983, the IEEE Transactions on Communications has spawned a number of new journals, including the IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, IEEE/ACM Trasactions on Networking, IEEE Communications Letters, and IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications.
