The IEEE Open Journal of the Solid-State Circuits Society (OJ-SSCS) is a fully open access journal that publishes papers in the broad area of solid-state circuits with particular emphasis on transistor-level design of integrated circuits. It also provides coverage of topics such as systems design, novel technologies, circuit modeling, and testing in areas of importance for integrated circuit design. Integrated circuits and VLSI are of principal interest; material related to discrete circuit design is seldom published. Experimental verification is strongly encouraged.The OJ-SSCS Editorial Board also wants to foster publications in novel areas of integrated circuits design. For this reason, we will propose regularly special sections on relevant and timely topics.Our extensive review process and high-quality manuscript standards identical to the subscription-based JSSC will allow authors to benefit from the 50 years of reputation build up by the Solid-State Circuits Society in integrated circuit design. Authors of open access papers published in the OJ-SSC will obtain an equally-valid appreciation by their peers, and their research will be exposed to 5 million unique monthly users of the IEEE Xplore Digital Library without paywalls.Read this journal on IEEE XploreKey FeaturesSurvey and tutorial papers in the area of solid-state circuits are publishable if they provide important directions in circuit design and similar content has not been published elsewhere. Textbook-style tutorials or survey papers without novel analysis, outlook, and advanced technical details are not encouraged.As the premier open-access publication in the area of solid-state circuits, special sections with diverse topics are included for each volume not only to provide valuable resources for researchers and engineers in this field but also to deal with the growth of application-driven integrated circuits.A publication time of less than 12 weeks is targeted, with a rapid peer-review process for accepted papers.
