Author Name Change Request for IEEE Publications

IEEE supports an inclusive approach to author name changes and allows authors to replace their prior name with their current name in IEEE publications. Authors who submit a name change request will not be asked to disclose the reason for the request, nor will any legal proof or documentation of name change be required. More information is available in the IEEE Author Center at https://journals.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/become-an-ieee-journal-author/publishing-ethics/guidelines-and-policies/ieee-author-name-change-policy/. Complete this form to submit your name change request. Your responses will remain confidential and will only be used to fulfill this request. If you have questions about completing this form, please contact the IEEE Author Name Change team at authornamechange@ieee.org.

Your Current and Prior Names

Your current name will replace your prior name in the article(s) included in this request. Be sure that your current name appears exactly as you wish it to appear in the affected article(s).

Provide your full prior name, as it appears in the article(s) included in this request, that you wish to be updated in this name change request. If the name is rendered in different ways in the affected articles, please list each variant, separated by semicolons.

Providing Your Current Institutional Email Address*

For security purposes, we prefer to communicate with you via your current institutional email address. Please indicate if you are able to provide a current institutional email address.

Provide either your ORCID number or your personal ORCID URL. Please ensure that your ORCID account is already updated to match your current name and that your name is publicly visible on your ORCID account.

Change Request Details

List the Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for each IEEE published article that you would like to include in this request. DOIs look like this: 10.1109/ABCD.1234.5678912. They are available on the article's page in IEEE Xplore and in the article PDF. If you are submitting multiple DOIs in this request, please separate them with semicolons. Note that each article listed here must be published on IEEE Xplore and include your prior name on the author list.

Updating Citing Articles*

Let us know if you would like us to update the reference lists of other IEEE articles that cite your work using your prior name. Note that IEEE will notify the authors of the citing articles that their reference lists are being updated. In cases where we do not have contact information for the authors of the citing articles, we will not update reference lists.

Author Biography*

Indicate what should happen to your author biography in the article(s) to be updated.
