Technical professional organisation IEEE is retracting 29 articles that were published in IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility from 2017 to 2018 because of violations of IEEE policy discovered in the peer review process of those articles. IEEE requires strict adherence to its policies, and will issue retractions when warranted.
In addition, the IEEE Board of Directors has established a committee to examine all aspects of peer review practice across the organisation and make recommendations for improvement. The findings of the committee will be published upon the conclusion of the committee's review.
Earlier this year, IEEE received an allegation of misconduct in the peer review process for IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility. An extensive investigation found evidence of systematic violation of IEEE's policies governing peer review of articles. Three volunteer editors identified during the investigation as involved in the misconduct have been permanently excluded from IEEE membership. They have been prohibited from publishing with IEEE in the future and no longer hold any positions on an IEEE publication.
