Abstract

With the merger of AIEE and IRE in 1963, a reappraisal of existing editorial policy was undertaken which resulted in the birth of a new journal and a serviceable publications policy for the voice of IEEE At the time of the merger of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers and the Institute of Radio Engineers the two Institutes were producing 39 separate publications, which included the Proceedings of the IRE; Electrical Engineering; the three AIEE Bimonthlies — Power Apparatus and Systems, Applications and Industry, and Communication and Electronics; the annual bound volumes of these, entitled the AIEE Transactions; the 30 Professional Group Transactions of the IRE; the IRE Convention Record; and EE Digest and the IRE Student Journal for the student members of the two organizations. The circulation of these various journals ran from a few hundred to over 100 000, and among them all but the Proceedings were subsidized in some way.
