IEEE Sensors Journal – some metrics Published ~5, 000 pages in 2013 Articles published*: 475 in 2012; 626 in 2013 Xplore downloads*: 335 K in 2012; 180 K in 1 H 2013 Sub-to-epub (weeks) – 4 Q 12: 22. 9 ave. ; 20. 8 median – 1 Q 13: 18. 2 ave. ; 12. 4 median – IEEE, 1 Q 13: 34. 0 ave. ; 29. 3 median 100% of submissions plagiarism checked List of review papers added to website (69, so far) -------- * Determine no. 1 source of revenues, but with 2 yr lag 8 11/26/2020

IEL Distribution Algorithms Online periodicals algorithm: § Usage: 55% § Content: 35% § Base: 10% Online conference pub algorithm: § Usage: 65% § Content: 35%

Periodicals Usage: 55% of online net Usage defined as “Article Views” for content (i. e. PDF, HTML), not abstracts or search hits, via IEEE Xplore. Year X’s budget is based on calendar year X-2 activity*. Usage measured by use of only institutional package users (IEL/ASPP Online), not usage in other venues (i. e. member usage, Enterprise usage, nonmember online individual sub usage) Publication’s portion is proportional to its share of the total institutional periodical package usage --------* 2014 budget is based on the 2012 usage. For conference pubs, it’s based on 2012 + 2011 usage.

Periodicals Content: 35% of online net Based on the amount of content (“articles”) contributed to Xplore Year X’s budget is based on 3 -year window, CYs (X-2) + (X-3) + (X-4)* Publication’s portion is proportional to its share of the total periodical article content --------* 2014 budget is based on 2012 + 2011 + 2010 content. The same is true for conference pubs.

Base: 10% of online net Equal distribution of the 10% to all societies/councils that provide periodical publication content in that year to Xplore 2012 “Base” = $78, 574

Newsletter

Why Discontinue It? Website has been more of a "newsletter" than the newsletter; more timely too. The newsletters we have published just repeated old news, like the award winners Councils have no members to be kept informed. Are the website & email blasts not sufficient to keep the sensor community informed? We have a Newsletter tab on our website, a cause of disappointment? 45 11/26/2020
