Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers
series journals
Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers was a series journals which published the proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers. It was originally established as the Journal of the Society of Telegraph Engineers in 1872, and was known under several titles over the years, such as Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers, Proceedings of the IEE and IEE Proceedings.
History
The journal was originally established in 1872, as
Journal of the Society of Telegraph Engineers (1872–1880)
Then underwent a series of name changes
Journal of the Society of Telegraph Engineers and of Electricians (1881–1882)
Journal of the Society of Telegraph-Engineers and Electricians (1883–1888)
Until in 1889 it settled into
Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (1889–1940)
The journal remained under that name for over 50 years.
From 1926 to 1940, a new journal was started
Institution of Electrical Engineers - Proceedings of the Wireless Section of the Institution (1926–1940)
In 1941, the journals were reorganized in distinct parts. From 1941 to 1948 those were
Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Part I: General
Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Part II: Power Engineering
Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Part IIA: Automatic Regulators and Servo Mechanisms
Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Part III: Communication Engineering
Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Part III: Radio and Communication Engineering
Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Part IIIA: Radiocommunication
Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers - Part IIIA: Radiolocation
In 1949, until 1954, the publications were reorganized into
Journal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers
and
Proceedings of the IEE - Part I: General
Proceedings of the IEE - Part IA: Electric Railway Traction
Proceedings of the IEE - Part II: Power Engineering
Proceedings of the IEE - Part IIA: Insulating Materials
Proceedings of the IEE - Part III: Radio and Communication Engineering
Proceedings of the IEE - Part IIIA: Television
Proceedings of the IEE - Part IV: Institution Monographs
Which in 1955 were renamed
Journal of the IEE (1955–1963)
and
Proceedings of the IEE - Part A: Power Engineering
Proceedings of the IEE - Part B: Electronic and Communication Engineering
Proceedings of the IEE - Part B: Radio and Electronic Engineering
Proceedings of the IEE - Part C: Monographs
These merged into a single journal in 1963, which remained until 1979.
Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (1963–1979)
In 1964, Journal of the IEE became
Electronics & Power (1964–1987)
which in 1988 became
IEE Review (1988–2006)
The proceedings were renamed in 1980 as IEE Proceedings. From 1980 until 1993, the IEE Proceedings had lettered parts
IEE Proceedings A (Physical Science, Measurement and Instrumentation, Management and Education)
IEE Proceedings A (Physical Science, Measurement and Instrumentation, Management and Education, Reviews)
IEE Proceedings A (Science, Measurement and Technology)
IEE Proceedings B (Electric Power Applications)
IEE Proceedings C (Generation, Transmission and Distribution)
IEE Proceedings D (Control Theory and Applications)
IEE Proceedings E (Computers and Digital Techniques)
IEE Proceedings F (Communications, Radar and Signal Processing)
IEE Proceedings F (Radar and Signal Processing)
IEE Proceedings G (Circuits, Devices and Systems)
IEE Proceedings G (Electronic Circuits and Systems)
IEE Proceedings H (Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation)
IEE Proceedings H (Microwaves, Optics and Antennas)
IEE Proceedings I (Communications, Speech and Vision)
IEE Proceedings I (Solid-State and Electron Devices)
IEE Proceedings J (Optoelectronics)
and were reorganized in 1994 until 2006
IEE Proceedings - Circuits, Devices and Systems
IEE Proceedings - Communications
IEE Proceedings - Computers and Digital Techniques
IEE Proceedings - Control Theory and Applications
IEE Proceedings - Electric Power Applications
IEE Proceedings - Generation, Transmission and Distribution
IEE Proceedings - Information Security
IEE Proceedings - Intelligent Transport Systems
IEE Proceedings - Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation
IEE Proceedings - Nanobiotechnology
IEE Proceedings - Optoelectronics
IEE Proceedings - Radar, Sonar and Navigation
IEE Proceedings - Science, Measurement and Technology
IEE Proceedings - Software
IEE Proceedings - Systems Biology
IEE Proceedings - Vision, Image and Signal Processing
After 2006, the IEE merged with the Institution of Incorporated Engineers (IIE) to form the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), and its journals were reorganized into various IET publications.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers” is series journals. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Proceedings, Institution and Electrical, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “series journals” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 10, 2023. The linked authority identifier is Q79624680. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1872, 1880, 1881 and 1882.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
- Subject orientation
- Search vocabulary
- Locating named sources
The closest primary source, responsible institution and strongest cited specialist reference.
Three-step research path
- Establish the record: confirm the title “Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers”, its source revision and the description used here.
- Expand the search: follow Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers primary sources, Proceedings of the Institution of Electrical Engineers archive and Proceedings research across catalogues and specialist indexes.
- Test the account: compare the strongest cited source with the responsible institution’s current record and note any disagreement.
