IEEE History Center revises STARS article program
The IEEE History Center is pleased to announce that its
simplified process for writing STARS articles is now online at the IEEE Global
History Network<http://ieeeghn.org/wiki/index.php/Special:Home>.
STARS (Significant Technological Achievement Recognition
Selections) are signed, peer-reviewed articles on major developments in the
history of electrical and computer technologies.
They are written for a general audience at a level of accuracy and insight that
satisfies professionals.
Now, anyone can select a
or
aspect of a Candidate and write an Article for board
review, as long as he or she fulfills the requirements for an Article<http://www.ieeeghn.org/wiki/index.php?title=Special:STARS&page=list&type=STARS-Article>.
Suggestions for
new Candidates are always welcome as well, especially by those who've published
related books or articles. New writers
can still submit an optional Proposal <http://www.ieeeghn.org/wiki/index.php/Special:STARS?page=list&type=STARS-Proposal>for
review if they wish.
Writing a STARS article contributes to the development of
an online encyclopedia of the history of technology. This revision accelerates the time to
publication, both online and in *Proceedings of the IEEE<http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6532357>
*, where STARS articles are reprinted. Consider writing an article based on your
research or publications, or encourage your peers or graduate students to
write.
