Add the full locations (city, state, country) of universities and colleges the first time they are mentioned. For U.S.
state-named universities, repeat the state name in the location, and include the country (e.g., University of Colorado,
Boulder, CO, USA); for city-named universities, repeat the name of the city when giving the location (e.g.,
University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, USA). For universities outside the U.S., give locations with the name of the city
(postal abbreviations of Canadian Provinces, if used) and the country the first time.
Use lowercase for the author’s major field of study.
Second Paragraph: The second paragraph of the biography lists military and work experience, including
summer and fellowship jobs and consultant positions. Job titles are capitalized. The current job must have a location
(city, state, country); previous positions may be listed without one. Do not abbreviate city names, Company,
Laboratory, or Department. Use standard names for all countries. If there is space, information the author provides
about previous publications may be included at the end of this paragraph. Edit out long lists of published books or
articles. Instead use the sentence “s(he) is the author of several books and numerous published articles.” The format
for listing publishers of an author’s books within the biography is: Title of the Book (publisher name, year) similar to
a reference. (Note, use the word “titled” not “entitled” to introduce the book [e.g., He is the author of the book titled
Stochastic Analysis and Applications (Taylor & Francis, 2012)]. List author affiliations with non-IEEE journals.
Note IEEE TRANSACTION AND JOURNAL TITLES should be in small caps; IEEE Magazine Titles should be in italics; and
non-IEEE titles should be in italics. List previous and current research interests. Do not repeat the author’s name in
the second paragraph; use “he” or “she.”
Third Paragraph: The third paragraph begins with the author’s title and last name (e.g., Dr. Smith, Prof. Jones,
Mr. Kajor, Ms. Hunter). It lists the author’s memberships in professional societies other than the IEEE and his or her
status as a Professional Engineer if applicable. Finally, list awards and work for IEEE committees and publications,
affiliation with other professional societies, and symposia.
Personal notes such as hobbies should not be included in the biography. Authors may include an external link to
their work, this should appear as “For more information, see http://website.of.author” This should be the full URL
and not an abbreviated link.
