TMI continues to be an excellent
IEEE Transaction. The 2012
Annual Meeting of the Steering
Committee (SC) was held on
December 10, 2012 in Nashville.
The minutes are included as an
appendix to this report.
The TMI 2011 impact factor was
3.64. There were about 900
submissions for 2011, and the
acceptance rate was about 22%.
For original submissions, the
average submission-to-firstdecision was 43 days for 2012.
The actual number of pages
published in 2012 was
higher than the budgeted
page-count of 2,300, but
within the 5% allowance
(2,415). The page count will
remain at 2,300 for 2013.
There was a discussion to revise
the 1984 TMI Letter of Agreement
(LOA); often refer to as an MOU.
After the SC Meeting, the SC Chair
emailed the SC members a
marked-up modified draft of the
TMI LOA for consideration. This
draft is included as an appendix to
this brief report.
The Steering Committee is
seeking candidates for a new
Editor-in-Chief (EIC) to
replace the current EIC
(Milan Sonka) whose term
will end at the end of 2014.
The Steering Committee
elected Elsa Angelini (EMBS)
to be Chair and treasurer of
the TMI Steering Committee
for 2013.
