From the EiC: The IEEE Radar Journal is Born

Formally launched in October 2022, IEEE Transactions on Radar Systems (TRS) has now “gestated” for nine months, making it a good time to report to the radar community on how this new journal is progressing. Let’s begin with some pertinent metrics. As of this writing, 30 papers have been accepted for publication, with a final decision acceptance rate of 32%. In addition, more than 150 papers have thus far been submitted, indicating a strong demand signal by the global radar community for a dedicated IEEE journal. Moreover, we have just been notified that TRS has been deemed a “High Performer” by ranking in the first quartile of IEEE transactions/journals in terms of both average time to first decision and average time to online posting. In short, TRS is performing quite well.
