I'd like to write an article for ISE. What's the process?

Anyone can submit an article for review by the managing editor of ISE. If your story is still in the conceptual state, email a synopsis or outline of your article idea to IISE Managing Editor Keith Albertson. If the article is already written, email the story to him at the same address.

Feature articles are 2,500 to 4,000 words in length and should focus on industrial engineering issues, problems, and solutions, as well as recent developments and research that have a significant impact on the practice of industrial and systems engineering. Articles based on experience, those that take a 'how-to' tone, and those that provide thoughtful analysis of the state of technology are favored.

For additional details, refer to the author guidelines.

Where do I send a letter to the editor for publication in the magazine?

Send letters electronically to IISE Managing Editor Keith Albertson or by mail to Keith Albertson, ISE, 3577 Parkway Lane, Suite 200, Norcross, GA 30092. All correspondence to the editor will be considered for publication in the magazine. Letters from anonymous authors will not be considered for publication, but the editor will consider requests to print a letter with the author's name withheld.

I live outside the United States. Why does it take so long for me to receive my copy of ISE?

There is often a delay of six to eight weeks for magazines delivered outside the United States due to postal service processes. Members and subscribers outside the United States can elect to have their magazines delivered by airmail each month. There is an additional charge for this service. Airmail delivery takes approximately one and a half to two weeks. To order airmail delivery, contact IISE Member and Customer Support, (800) 494-0460, (770) 349-1102.
