The
IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society (NPSS) is a transnational group of about 3000 professional engineers and scientists.IEEE NPSS new member letter The IEEE-affiliated Society sponsors 5 major annual, and six biennial conferences and symposia. It also sponsors or co-sponsor 4 peer-reviewed journals.NPSS Home Page
The IEEE is the world's largest technical professional organization with more than 360,000 members in around 175 countries.
History of the NPSS
In 1947, the Institute of Radio Engineers (IRE) formed the Nuclear physics Committee to assess the role of the IRE in the field. Two years later, the Professional Group on Nuclear Science was formed. In 1954 the first issue of the Transactions on Nuclear Science appeared, increasing to four issues per year in 1956.
In 1963 the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (AIEE) merged with the IRE to form the IEEE, and the AIEE Nucleonics Committee and the Committee on Nucleaonic and Radiation Instruments merged with the IRE Professional Group on Nuclear Science on October 29, 1963, to become the Nuclear Science Group of the IEEE.
In 1972, the scope of the group was widened to include Plasma (physics), and the group became a Society, it's name changing to the Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. History of the NPSS
Publications
Transactions on Nuclear Science
The first issue of the Transactions on Nuclear Science first appeared in 1954, the number of issues rising to four per year in 1956. In 2005, the journal was ranked No.3 for impact factor in Nuclear Science & Engineering by Thomson. Citations to IEEE Journals Continue to Climb( Web site)
Transactions on Plasma Science
The first issue of the Transactions on Plasma Science appeared in 1973. The 'Tennessee Orange,' cover color was picked by Igor Alexeff, Professor, University of Tennessee, Knoxville. History of the Founding of the Transactions on Plasma Science Published bimonthly, its scope includes all aspects of the theory and application of plasma science, and regularly features "Special issues" (eg. eight in 2004). TPS Annual Report (2004) Between 2000-2004, the journal was ranked No.10 for impact factor in "Physics - Fluids & Plasmas" by Thomson.Journals Ranked by Impact, "http://www.in-cites.com/research/2006/may_8_2006-2.html What's New in Research:May 8, 2006"( Web site)
Transactions on Medical Imaging
The journal encourages papers on the imaging of body structures, usually
in situ, rather than microscopic biological entities.IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, Statement of Editorial Policy In the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) from Thomson, which ranks journals by their
impact factor, in 2005, the journal was ranked:
- No.1 in Imaging Science & Photographic Technology
- No.2 in Electrical & Electronic Engineering
- No.3 in Computer Science, Interdisciplinary Applications
- No.3 in Biomedical Engineering
- No.6 in Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Medical Imaging
