The percentage of IT papers is much higher than other journals. That's about all you can say. I don't think the quality is higher and I don't think the acceptance rate is lower than other journals.

It may be the best place for a paper on space-time coding but probably not for a paper on channel estimation or synchronization. It really depends on the topic. I don't think the review process is much different, besides being a lot slower. Rahul, unfortunately IT only caters to certain kinds of results.

Robert: I would be glad to see if thats gonna happen. Bob: Well accept it or not IT is the best journal in the business related to our area.

Rahul - I think the reason (at least I hope) is to force IT to accept more papers as regular papers. I think there is a lot of value to many correspondences but they are viewed as second class citizens because the end up on the back page. It seems political to me. Hopefully the net result will be a higher regular paper acceptance rate. Bob - last I checked students often vacation in exotic locations as well.

A better idea would have been to do away with correspondences altogether and increase the acceptance rate in ISIT.

I agree…that way more professors get to vacation in exotic locations all on research dollars!

I really dont see a merit in this decision…

Is there really any merit to any IT publication? :P
