• The journal is a subscription title that additionally offers an article processing charge based open access option, and it is abstracted and indexed in Science Citation Index Expanded, Scopus, Compendex, INSPEC and Google Scholar该刊采用订阅制并另行提供需缴纳文章处理费的开放获取选项，被（SCIE）、（Scopus）、（Compendex）、（INSPEC）与（Google Scholar）收录。
• In the 2025 Journal Citation Reports it ranks 33 of 369 titles in engineering electrical and electronic with a 91.2 percentile and its five year indicator remains in the first quartile在 2025 年版期刊引证报告中，该刊在电气与电子工程类 369 种期刊中列第 33 位、百分位 91.2，五年指标同样位于第一四分位。

History

• The journal was launched in 2003 by the IEEE Signal Processing Society to provide a venue for in-depth coverage of focused research topics through guest-edited special issues, complementing the society's flagship IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing该刊于 2003 年由（IEEE）信号处理学会创刊，通过客座编辑专刊深入覆盖聚焦研究主题，作为该学会旗舰刊《IEEE 信号处理汇刊》的补充。
• It has been published bimonthly throughout most of its history, with six issues per volume per year, and each issue typically comprises a single special issue organised around one theme该刊历史上大部分时间以双月刊形式出版，每年一卷六期，每期通常为围绕单一主题组织的专刊。
• The Journal Impact Factor moved from 6.856 in 2021 to 7.695 in 2022, then to 13.7 in 2024 and to 8.5 in 2025, maintaining first quartile standing in engineering electrical and electronic throughout该刊影响因子由 2021 年的 6.856 升至 2022 年的 7.695，再升至 2024 年的 13.7 与 2025 年的 8.5，始终居电气与电子工程类第一四分位。
• The journal has progressively expanded its topic coverage to address deep learning, graph signal processing, quantum signal processing and signal processing for fifth and sixth generation wireless systems, reflecting the evolution of the field该刊逐步扩展主题覆盖，纳入深度学习、图信号处理、量子信号处理与面向第五代及第六代无线系统的信号处理，反映该领域的演进。
• The publisher carries the journal on IEEE Xplore and the digital object identifier prefix of its articles is 10.1109, shared with other IEEE journals出版方将该刊载于（IEEE Xplore），其文章的数字对象唯一标识符前缀为（10.1109），与（IEEE）其他期刊一致。

Editors

• The journal is led by an editor-in-chief supported by a senior editorial board, with each special issue managed by guest editors who are domain experts selected by the editor-in-chief该刊由一位主编带领，配以资深编委会，每一专刊由主编遴选的领域专家担任客座编辑负责组织。
• The editorial team includes area editors responsible for coordinating special issues across subject domains such as communications, radar, audio, image and video, biomedical and machine learning, reflecting the breadth of signal processing编辑团队设有领域编辑，分别协调通信、雷达、音频、图像与视频、生物医学与机器学习等方向的专刊，对应信号处理的广度。
• Editorial handling follows the IEEE editorial management system, with special issue proposals reviewed by the editor-in-chief and area editors before call for papers are issued稿件处理依托（IEEE）的编辑管理系统，专刊提案须经主编与领域编辑评审后方可发布征稿启事。
• Peer review is single-blind and the journal maintains the IEEE standards on reviewer recruitment, conflict of interest management and editorial independence, with the review process conducted through the ScholarOne Manuscripts system同行评审采用单盲方式，该刊遵循（IEEE）在审稿人遴选、利益冲突管理与编辑独立性方面的标准，评审经（ScholarOne Manuscripts）系统进行。
• The masthead and board roster are published on the journal page at IEEE Xplore and updated as new members join or existing members step down编委名单在（IEEE Xplore）期刊页公布，并随成员增减而更新。
