  1. Career, Content, and Networking: Today's IEEE San Diego State University George Plosker IEEE Client Services Manager October 4, 2012

  2. Thomas A. Edison Alexander Graham Bell Innovators since the beginning Founding officers of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1884:

  3. What is the IEEE? • A not-for-profit society • World’s largest technical membership association with over 400,000 members in 160 countries • Expertise & experience of members = quality of content • Core areas of activity • Membership • Publishing • Conferences • Standards • Education IEEE Mission IEEE promotes the engineering process of creating, developing, integrating, sharing, and applying knowledge about electro and information technologies and sciences for the benefit of humanity and the profession

  4. Thomas A. Edison Alexander Graham Bell Innovators since the beginning Founding officers of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers in 1884:

  5. Guglielmo Marconi Inventors since the beginning Founding member of the Institute of Radio Engineers in 1912: AIEE & IRE merged in 1963 to form the IEEE

  6. Focus on Marconi • What will be the implications of your technology developments? • How will they be used? • “For the benefit of humanity and the profession…” • How?

  7. Marconi at NBC Studios in NYC

  8. Marconi on board the yacht Elettra

  9. Marconi Biographical Details • Marconi inventor of the first practical radio-signaling system • 1897 - Patents his system in Great Britain; formed Marconi's Wireless Telegraphy Company Ltd. • 1909 - Shares Nobel Prize in physics for his work in wireless telegraphy • Paradigm shift: early wireless on board ships was for commercial messaging for profit – “MarconiGrams” – not for maritime safety • 1912 - Titanic sinks; Marconi testimony to the Court of Inquiry into the disaster Titanic regarding the marine telegraphy's functions and the procedures for emergencies at sea

  10. Marconi Biographical Details • Disaster led to the “International Radio-Telegraphic Convention,” London, July 1912. • Established regulations and procedures for use of wireless services in maritime disasters, including “SOS.” • Followed by “Safety at Sea” Conference, London, November 1913. Sweeping regulations put into place. • Tragedy was the “jump start” of the wireless, radio, and electronics industry that we know today. • Titanic survivors present Marconi gold medal in gratitude for Marconi’s wireless installation on board the Titanic credited for saving their lives. • Britain's postmaster-general summed up, "Those who have been saved, have been saved through one man, Mr. Marconi...and his marvelous invention." • Marconi eventually filed 33 U.S. Patents (1897–1934)

  34. Quality of ContentPeer Reviewed Periodicals and Conference Proceedings • What makes IEEE content different? • IEEE peer review - the process in which a journal article or conference paper is submitted by the prospective publisher to experts in the field for critical evaluation prior to publication, a standard procedure in scholarly publishing. Synonymous with referred or juried review. • Key questions • Is the science accurate? • Does the paper make a unique contribution to the “body of knowledge?” • Assures credibility and authority of content • Beyond news or business trade sources • Far beyond open web content • Most frequently cited content in technical literature & in Patents

  35. Quality of ContentIEEE is the most frequently cited technical publisherThomson Scientific ISI “Journal Citation Report” documents high quality IEEE publishes: • 17 of top 20 journals in Electrical and Electronic Engineering • 8 of top 10 journals in Telecommunications • 7 of top 10 journals in Automation & Control Systems • 6 of top 10 journals in Computer Hardware & Architecture • 4 of top 5 journals in Computer Science, Cybernetics • # 1 in Information Systems • # 1 in Telecommunications • # 1 in Artificial Intelligence • # 1 in Computer Hardware • # 1 in Automation and Control • # 1 in Transportation Science The ISI JCR presents “quantifiable statistical data that provides a systematic, objective way to evaluate the world’s leading journals” (2011 report released June 2012)

  36. IEEE is 1st! Technology Patent References to STM Publishers IEEE IEEE iscited 3xmorethan any other publisher • U.S. patent references from the top 25 patenting organizations in 2011 to top publishers • Based on number of references to papers/standards/conferences from 1997–2011 • Download the full report: www.ieee.org/patentcitations Source: 1790 Analytics 2012
