Description:
This editorial addresses a serious concern of author misconduct that must be addressed at the editorial level. The problem is not new, but the frequency of occurrences in the last few months has brought the matter to the forefront of our attention. We are talking about the many instances of authors adding new material to their papers after the peer-review process has been completed. To provide the background about the problem, when the paper under review has been recommended for publication by an Associate Editor, the peer-review process has been completed. In the decision letter, the authors are requested to submit a final version that will be sent to the IEEE for typesetting. The final version of the paper is checked carefully at the editorial office as a matter of quality control.
