SOME KEY FACTS YOU NEED TO KNOW. PLEASE READ!!!
MANUSCRIPT VALIDATION CODES
Manuscript submission is validated by a unique code. Only the Full Conference, Student and Retiree Participant
registration fees include one (1) manuscript submission code. Other registration types do not include a manuscript
submission code. Authors in these other categories must pay the standard TAS manuscript fee of $600 CAD to receivea registration code.
A code belonging to a co-author may be used by the submitting author to validate a manuscript. Multiple co-authors
who choose to submit multiple manuscripts may also judiciously allocate codes provided by their registration fees.
However, multiple use of a unique code will invalidate all submissions identified by that code.
Authors may submit multiple manuscripts provided that each submission is related to a presentation. If the author ora co-author cannot provide a manuscript code, additional codes can be obtained by paying the manuscript fee of $600
CAD for each code required.

The additional page fee is $150 CAD per page.
IEEE Publications may re-format graphics to ensure compliance with the IEEE Graphics Guidelines. In some cases, this
could result in the body text extending substantially beyond the allowed page limit. You may be contacted for paymentof an additional page fee if this occurs. To avoid this potential problem, please ensure that your graphics comply withthe IEEE Graphics Standards and are sized appropriately, as indicated in the manuscript template.
IEEE POLICIES, USE OF ENGLISH,
1. Submission of a manuscript indicates an agreement to comply with IEEE policies for publication. Please
read the information about the IEEE Editorial and Publishing Policy and Ethics athttps://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/authors/author_ethics.html.
2. Read the Editorial Policies: http://ieeecsc.org/pages/editorial-policies. In particular, a paper may be deemed
unsuitable if it (a) does not meet the scope of the special issue; (b) presents content other than what waspresented at the conference; (c) does not present a clear scientific discussion or contains minimal newscientific material; (d) contains minimal references; (e) is written in poor English language; or (f) has major
style errors, although style errors should not occur if this template is used.
3. To avoid delays or even the rejection of your manuscript for reasons related to English language takeadvantage of the paper writing service, see the IEEE Author Center (http://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/createyour-ieee-article/create-the-text-of-your-article/) for more information.
4. Articles will be automatically checked for plagiarism and re-publication of material using electronic databases,
including other submissions to the same conference. Severe cases could result in rejection of a manuscript andmay trigger other punitive actions by IEEE. The most common mistake by authors is cutting and pasting fromprevious versions of manuscripts describing earlier stages of the same work without properly giving attribution to
the previous work and clarifying why the re-use of material is necessary. Additional information can be foundhere: https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/become-an-ieee-journal-author/publishing-ethics/guidelinesand-policies/policy-ieee-submission-policies/.
5. Follow the IEEE Editorial Style Manual at https://ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/create-your-ieee-article/createthe-text-of-your-article/ieee-editorial-style-manual.
THE SCOPE OF THE MAGNET TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE
The scope of the Magnet Technology Conference is a little different than applied superconductivity, in that closely
related enabling technology that is of interest to the participants is allowed. The MT conference series is the mostimportant international forum addressing all aspects of magnet research, development, construction, testing, andoperation. The focus lies in superconducting technology, but resistive magnets are also covered. However, the scopeof the Transactions in Applied Superconductivity is narrower and topics such as cryogenics, power supply design, motor
control and design optimization and electrical power grids are not within scope. The scope of the Transactions:IEEE Transactions on Applied Superconductivity (TAS) contains articles on the applications ofsuperconductivity and other relevant technology. Large scale applications include magnets for power
applications such as motors and generators, for magnetic resonance, for accelerators, and cable applications
such as power transmission.
Therefore, an abstract that is accepted for presentation at MT may not lead to a published paper in TAS.
Consider the following as guidelines for your submission. A submission should either discuss the:
•••
•
•
•

“Science” of the component (SC or resistive coil)Specification of the magnet/magnet component from the system point of view
Design, analysis, manufacturing, test of the magnet component
Magnet component interaction with other system components
Trade-off analysis of the system
Support components (ramp tool, cryogenics, control, monitoring, etc.) if they affect the “magnet”

Evaluation of your accepted abstract indicates that your proposed presentation is within scope for the conference,but that a submitted manuscript based on our understanding of your abstract may be out of scope for theTransactions. Additionally, consider where your readership is best served. Sometimes a simple change in emphasis issufficient to bring the manuscript into scope (Level 1). For example, a manuscript describing a cryostat to test asuperconducting magnet may be rendered on topic by a complete description of the device instead of referring to thesuperconducting magnet as a “black box”. In some cases, this may not be possible in, for example, the optimization
process used for the electronics in a motor or generator (Level 2).
In the Level 1 case, please consider how you may bring a submitted manuscript into scope. In the Level 2 case, pleaseconsider if this is the appropriate journal to publish your manuscript, where it would receive the most attention fromthe appropriate audience.
