DEIS news

The DEIS is seeking applicants for the position of Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation (TDEI). An applicant should be a member of the IEEE, and be willing and able to carry out the duties of the EiC (described below). He/she will be expected to have relevant experience, exhibit enthusiasm for the post, be able to manage the website submission process, and further develop the system. It is expected that once in post, the EiC will make improvements to assessment procedures and will seek methods whereby the TDEI can increase in prominence when compared to competing journals. In doing this the EiC will consider the format of the journal and its publication policies, and assess progress using publication metrics. If you are interested in this post, please e-mail Professor Paul Lewin, DEIS VP Admin (pll@ecs.soton. ac.uk) for more information. Applications will be reviewed by the TDEI Editor Search Committee, who will prepare a recommendation for consideration by the June 2014 meeting of the DEIS Administrative Committee (AdCom). The latest date for acceptance of a letter of interest is March 31, 2014.
