Such as IEEE Transactions on Dependable and Secure Computing, ACM Transactions on Privacy and Security. # Transactions? - [terminology - Difference between transactions and journal - Academia Stack Exchange](https://academia.stackexchange.com/questions/13960/difference-between-transactions-and-journal) - These transactions or proceedings were separate from journals, which do not have to coincide with a conference or meeting. However, with time the customs changed, and **many of these reputable publishing venues became independent from actual meetings or conferences**. **But, because they were reputable (and famous is some cases), the name remained.** - There is no difference. - In particular, _IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering_ is a journal, as are all the other _IEEE Transactions_. - Based on length: - IEEE Transactions generally contain major manuscripts approximately 8 to 10 printed pages or 24 to 30 double-spaced pages. - IEEE Journals follow the same length criteria as Transactions, but often are focused on selected topics and more specialized areas of interest. - IEEE Letters are generally short papers of approximately three to four printed pages or nine double-spaced pages.
