IEEE Xplore

What is IEEE Xplore?

IEEE Xplore provides access to millions of articles, conference papers, standards and journals within engineering, IT and technology. The database is published by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and is one of the world’s leading resources in the field.

Access includes:

• IEEE journals, transactions, and magazines, including early access documents
• IEEE conferences
• IET journals
• IET conferences
• IEEE published standards
• IEEE Standards Dictionary Online

Access does NOT include e-books or courses. 

Conferences and proceedings

IEEE organises many conferences. You can find a list of conferences and the articles published in connection with them. It is a good way to find the latest research within your area of interest.

Images and illustrations

A smart feature in IEEE Xplore is the option to find images, diagrams and technical illustrations from articles and conference papers. This is useful because visuals can support analyses, illustrate technical solutions or explain complex concepts in assignments and presentations. They can also illustrate how technology works in practice or how a system is structured.

When is IEEE Xplore useful?

Although IEEE Xplore may seem like a technical database, it is relevant if you work with, for example:

• Digital transformation and innovation in companies.
• Fintech, AI, blockchain and data analysis where technology meets business.
• Case studies and projects that require insight into how new technology is developed and applied in practice.
