PIER Journals are a family of journals supported by the PhotonIcs and Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS), which had become a significant symposium in the area related to photonics and electromagnetics. The scope includes all aspects of electromagnetic theory plus its wide-ranging applications. Hence, it contains topics motivated by mathematics and sciences, as well as topics inspired by advanced technologies.

The main PIER journal primarily publishes high-quality and high-impact articles on hot topics. PIER B publishes comprehensive and tutorial review articles. PIER C publishes papers on circuits, wireless communications, and other topics related to electromagnetics technologies. PIER M publishes papers on methods and measurements of electromagnetics and related topics. PIER Letters publishes succinct original articles on the frontiers of electromagnetics and related math and science papers.

All PIER journals use the same manuscript tracking and review system.  When submitting the manuscript online, the author is requested to select the target journal, the main PIER, or neither.

• If the author only wants to publish with the main PIER, the editors will make a quick decision of acceptance or rejection after the review process.
• If the author agrees to publish with PIER B, C, M, and Letters, after review/revision and typeset process, the editors will make the final decision to schedule accepted papers into specific journals based on considerations of topical relevance, page lengths, review inputs, time constraint for publication, etc.

Each journal has its own different maximum page limits. The overlength page charge is USD 100 for each journal page in excess of the page limit. Authors are strongly advised to pay attention to the page limits and article processing charges before submitting their manuscripts.
