Introducing the IEEE Biometrics Compendium: Insight into the current issue.

IEEE biometrics compendium is the first IEEE virtual journal, which is a collection of previously published IEEE papers in specific scientific and technical disciplines paired with value-added commentary from technology experts. The compendium is published quarterly by the IEEE Biometrics Council, which was originally created and sponsored by a consortium of IEEE Societies. The IEEE Consumer Electronics Society was one of the founding members/sponsors of the Council. The compendium highlights various specific areas in biometrics and contains commentary from subject experts on the IEEE Biometrics Council. Subscribers receive access to full-text pdf files of all articles referenced from the current and past years. The compendium is an excellent resource to find all biometrics-related research publications in a single place.
