The Institution of Engineering and Technology will unveil five new publications at the International Online Information exhibition in London.

The Institution of Engineering and Technology will unveil five new publications and a major development of its Digital Library platform at the International Online Information exhibition in London, from 28th to 30th November 2006.

The new publications will widen the scope of the institution's prestigious research journals and take to 22 the total of such publications.

The announcement coincides with a redesign of the existing titles which will see them move from the IEE brand to IET.

This follows the creation of the new institution by the IEE and IIE earlier this year.

The word "Proceedings" will also be removed from the title of publications.

Next year the current "IEE Proceedings Vision, Image and Signal Processing" will be replaced by three new titles, each focusing on a specific area of research, enabling greater coverage of each of these important topics.

The three new publications will be "IET Computer Vision", "IET Image Processing" and "IET Signal Processing".

Two completely new titles will be launched in 2007: "IET Synthetic Biology", edited by Dr Jim Haseloff, University of Cambridge, and "IET Renewable Power Generation", edited by Professor David Infield, Crest at Loughborough University.

The IET will also launch its new online journals archive.

The archive will contain digitised back issues of the IEE's research journals which date back to 1872.

The "Electronics Letters" back-file from 1965 to 1993 will be available for the opening of the online exhibition and the remaining content, including the IEE Proceedings journals, will be available from early 2007, a total of 100,000 articles that will be available electronically.

Simon Thomson, Publishing Director of Inspec and the IET research journals said: "The IET has an international reputation for delivering timely, high quality research through its high profile portfolio of academic research journals".

"We are introducing the new titles to reflect the increasingly interdisciplinary nature of research output".

"The titles launched in recent years have been enthusiastically received by our author community and we look forward to continuing this trend in 2007 and beyond".

"We are also committed to developing our online services, offering our authors and readers the very best in terms of service and value".

"Inspec and Inspec Archive remain central to our operations and earlier this year Inspec achieved the milestone of having 9 million records".

"Demand for the database continues to grow and in 2007 we are committed to increasing production to 550,000 articles per year and widening coverage of computing conferences and nanotechnology", added Thomson.
