IEEE publishes over 170 journals and is one of the major publishers in your field. The terminology used by IEEE in the titles of its journals can be confusing. Many titles begin "IEEE Transactions on..." The IEEE Transactions are all peer reviewed journals. Others are actually called journals and others are called magazines.
Compared to the IEEE Transactions and Journals, articles in the IEEE Magazines are shorter, of more general interest, and contain more colorful graphics. The IEEE Magazines also publish peer reviewed articles and well as news articles and other information of interest to professionals.
