An Information Theory Magazine ITSoc BoG Meeting, June 2018 Ad-hoc Committee: Dan Costello, Christina Fragouli, Ubli Mitra, Wojtek Szpankowski

Outline Review of Last year Presentation (Update) Next Steps Appendix (Finances of SP Magazine)

Rationale for Magazine Everybody loves the IT Newsletter but: Only ITSoc members read it Not covered by the search engines Articles are not cited IT Magazine: Provide tutorial style papers Blend of traditional IT areas and new directions Increase visibility of IT Most good magazine papers are well-read and cited Impact factor and clicks (more than 9 for magazines) Increase value of society membership

Magazine Contents Technical articles Columns For a wide audience: Tutorial/overview “Hot” topics in core IT and new directions Historical perspectives Combination of invited/contributed Carefully reviewed, high quality articles Columns From the newsletter: President, editor in chief, historian, student, puzzles, meeting reports etc Education tips, book reviews, popular IT articles, industry perspective etc

Editorial Board EiC and Executive Editorial Board (2-3 members) Appointed by the board Team of Senior Editors Appointed by the EiC in consultation with the Executive Editorial Board Selects/invites focus topics/guest editors Oversees guest editor review process Coordinates review of other articles; initiates invitations Column Editors

Process for Establishing Magazine Letter of Intent (LOI) sent to IEEE TAB Periodicals Committee Very simple, one page Title, launch date, scope, sponsoring society(ies) There may be a required (short) presentation to a TAB meeting after the LOI is submitted (DONE, 2018) Phase I Proposal About 15 pages, justifies need/demand, explores overlap with existing IEEE and non-IEEE periodicals Clarifies electronic vs. print, estimated page count, page charges, other little details Presented to TAB board, IEEE does a feasibility analysis, and other societies may try to get a “piece” of the journal Phase II Proposal Phase I + a bunch of Appendices with more detailed marketing & financial analysis, results of reader and EIC surveys, etc. Final oral proposal and (presumably) approval

Outline Review of Last year Presentation (Update) Next Steps Appendix (Finances of SP Magazine)

Next Steps Decide the name of the Magazine Financial Considerations We propose to start a competition (with an award of $100-$200) among ITSoc members to find a good name for the Magazine with final results by the February BoG meeting. Financial Considerations Most magazines lose money each year (see Appendix) Timing: When should we launched the Magazine? We anticipate moving to Phase I by next spring.
