IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics (T-USON): A New Name with Continued Commitment

On January 1, 2026, IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (T-UFFC) will become IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics (T-USON).

The journal has evolved through several titles since 1954, but its mission has remained constant: providing a forum for fundamental science, device innovation, and system applications in ultrasonics.

Why the Change?
Society-wide consultation in 2024 agreed that a revised title and scope would better reflect the journal’s content, enhance global visibility, and distinguish it from the IEEE Open Journal of Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (OJ-UFFC).

What Remains the Same?
Editorial standards, rigorous peer review, and leadership by experts remain unchanged. The journal remains the flagship outlet for ultrasonic research.
T-USON will continue to cover all aspects of ultrasound science and technology, including wave generation, transmission, and detection; biomedical and industrial applications; and advances in piezoelectrics, transducers, resonators, oscillators, and sensors. These topics include related work in frequency control and ferroelectrics.

Complementary Role of OJ-UFFC
OJ-UFFC will continue to serve the full breadth of the UFFC community and work to provide a home of choice for UFFC-related areas beyond ultrasonics.
