A PUBLICATION OF THE IEEE VEHICULAR TECHNOLOGY SOCIETY

You will receive requests via email from the Editor-in-Chief to conduct reviews of papers. The paper will have been uploaded electronically and assigned a paper number, which should be given in all correspondence. An initial examination of the paper will have been made to make sure the electronic form is readable.

The first task is to take a look at the paper and check for the following:

• Does this paper fall within the scope of the Transactions? If you think it may not, contact the Editor-in-Chief. Ultimately, it is the Editor-in-Chief's responsibility to determine whether the paper falls within the scope of the Transactions.
  
  
• Do you have a conflict of interest? For example, if the authors are affiliated with the same company or university as you are, you need to raise this issue with the Editor-in-Chief. In general, when there is a conflict of interest, the paper is reassigned to another Editor.

You may occasionally receive papers directly from an author. You should contact the author with a note explaining that papers should be submitted electronically using the online tool.
