The IEEE continues to publish the most well-respected journals in
the category of electrical and electronics engineering, according
to the Institute of Scientific Information's newly released  1998
Journal Citation Reports.

The study ranked 205 electrical engineering  periodicals  on  the
number  of  times  they  were cited in scientific literature. The
IEEE "Transactions on Medical Imaging" was the most highly  cited
journal,  with  had  2,107 citations. Overall, the IEEE had eight
out of the top ten, and 40 of the top 60 cited journals.

The  study  also  demonstrated  the   staying   power   of   IEEE
publications.  Half  of the citations from the following journals
were from issues published ten or more years ago: "Proceedings of
the  IEEE,"  "Transactions  on  Computers,"  and "Transactions on
Reliability."

The study also ranks journals  according  to  subject  categories
within computer science and electrical engineering. IEEE journals
took top honors in three categories: "Journal on  Selected  Areas
in  Communications"  (telecommunications);  "Journal  on Parallel
Distributions"  (computer  science,   theory   &   method);   and
"Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing" (manufacturing).
