Is my paper within the scope of the TIE ?

The scope of IEEE Trans. on Industrial Electronics is printed on the journal cover and on the journal web page http://tie.ieee-ies.org/tie/  This description is not detailed enough and many items overlap with other journals. Please notice that sometimes it is not easy to objectively define the scope of the manuscript. One relatively objective measure to verify association of the submitted manuscript with the TIE is to check if the manuscript refers their finding to the previously published papers in TIE. In order not to face "out of scope" rejection it is safe to submit manuscript to the journal which is listed most frequently in the reference section.
