To start writing your manuscript in Overleaf, simply click the 'Open as template' button above. Additional IEEE templates are also available - please use the tags below to view. These include: additional article templates for specific journals (e.g. IEEE Photonics), templates for conference papers, and user-submitted examples and adaptations.
All IEEE journals require an Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) for all authors. To create an ORCID, please visit: The author will need a registered ORCID in order to submit a manuscript or review a proof in this journal. IEEE supports the publication of author names in the native language alongside the English versions of the names in the author list of an article. For more information, visit the IEEE Author Center at the following URL: -your-ieee-journal-article/create-the-text-of-your-article/structure-your-article/#editing-service,. English language editing services can help refine the language of your article and reduce the risk of rejection without review. IEEE authors are eligible for a 10% discount at American Journal Experts; visit to learn more. Please note these services are fee-based and do not guarantee acceptance.

These journal templates are not to be used by papers accepted as conference-only tracks, short papers, notes, workshops, panels, posters, contests/challenge, tutorials etc. Papers submitted to these tracks should use the VGTC Conference Style Template.
Please also note that these journal templates are not to be used for regular TVCG journal submissions (i.e., those not related to the special journal issues of VIS, ISMAR, VR PacificVis, etc.). For such papers, including those submitted as fast track submissions, please use the official TVCG templates instead.
I want to start writing on an article that is probably going to be published in one of the IOP journals. There is a template for their publications, but it lacks some (for me) essential packages. Since I've never submitted an article myself, I want to be sure the editing process goes as smooth as possible by eliminating problems early. So here's the question:
Can I add all the packages I like to the template without pissing off the editor? I talk about things like inputenc, fontenc, biblatex, microtype, etc. Nothing fancy, but very basic LaTeX stuff. I also prefer to have a separate .bib file for my bibliography, since I have them already organized that way and do not want to manually copy the info into the bibliography as suggested in the template.

The official template is distributed via CTAN as the IEEEtran package, which is actively maintained.However, de-facto configurations (hyperref) and modern features of latex (microtype) are not configured.This template does it.
This template is for the conferences.It is based on the bare_conf_compsoc.tex distributed by IEEE.In case you need other configurations, please adapt paper-conference.tex or run the latex template generator.
IEEE distributes their templates at _events/conferences/publishing/templates.html.With the update of July 2017, the archive -latex-conference-template.zip contains both bare_conf.tex and bare_conf_compsoc.tex.Thus, the conference should state which option to use.
