Reviewer Training Workshop with IEEE T-UFFC Editor-in-Chief
Are you interested in assessing the merit of the latest research advances in the UFFC community and in upholding the quality of research publications? If so, you should consider serving as a peer reviewer for the IEEE UFFC Transactions. Join this workshop with Alfred Yu, IEEE T-UFFC Editor-in-Chief, to learn how to prepare professional review critiques.
Are you already a reviewer but wanted to find out more about the quality expectations for peer review critiques? If so, you should also join this workshop!
We welcome prospective reviewers at different career stages to participate. Reviewers should be active researchers in the field. Graduate students may serve if they are close to Ph.D. graduation. Participants who have successfully completed this workshop will be listed as potential reviewers for the IEEE UFFC Transactions.

T-UFFC Description:
IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control (IEEE T-UFFC) is the flagship periodical of the UFFC-S. It has been a major publication venue for the latest achievements and advances at the forefront of ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control. IEEE T-UFFC's publishing scope includes the theory, technology, materials, and applications relating to
- The generation, transmission, and detection of ultrasonic waves and related phenomena;
- Medical ultrasound, including hyperthermia, bioeffects, tissue characterization, and imaging;
- Ferroelectric, piezoelectric, and piezomagnetic materials, including crystals, polycrystalline solids, films, polymers, and composites;
- Frequency control, timing, and time distribution, including crystal oscillators and other means of classical frequency control, and atomic, molecular, and laser frequency control standards.
