The IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology (J-ERM), sponsored by IEEE MTT-S, AP-S, and EMBS societies and Sensors Council, will publish a special Issue devoted to the 2020 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC 2020). Authors of all papers presented at the APMC 2020 are invited to submit an expanded version of their papers to the special Issue. The expanded version requires that the new technical content reports results beyond the APMC 2020 paper. Every paper will be reviewed in the same manner as all other regular submissions to this journal. Information of the journal can be found at http://ieee-jerm.org.

The focuses of the journal are on unifying the sciences and applications of medicine and biology related to utilizing electromagnetics, radio frequency signals and microwaves/millimeter-waves. If you are doubtful whether your paper is suitable for J-ERM, please write to the editors at jermapmc20@gmail.com. Authors should be reminded that the overlap of texts cannot be more than 15% and the content should not be more than 40%.

Please note that:

1. Papers should be submitted through the journal’s web page http://ieee-jerm.org leading to ScholarOne Manuscript Central.
2. In the menu for “Manuscript Type”, please select “APMC 2020 Special Issue”. The submission window will open after the conference.
3. Manuscript is limited to 6 pages maximum without counting the first (Visual Summary/Take-Home Messages) page, citation pages, and bio-sketch pages. The first page should include a figure for Visual Summary and Take-Home messages in bullet-points.
4. The conference paper should be included with the submission as well.
5. The following note should be added to the footnote textbox on the second page: “This paper is an expanded paper from the one presented at the 2020 APMC, Hong Kong, PRC.”
6. The guideline and template for manuscript preparation can be found on the J-ERM webpage.

The due date for the paper submission is April 30, 2021. The expected publication date of the special issue is September 1, 2021. The journal is in electronic format so the accepted paper will appear in IEEE Xplore within a few days after acceptance.
