IEEE Xplore has introduced, amongst others, two new features as of April 2011:

• The IEEE Standards Dictionary Online; and
• The Complete List of Citations of Journal Article Abstracts (including other publishers).

The IEEE Standards Dictionary Online

The IEEE Standards Dictionary is a comprehensive database of standards terminology which provides access to over 39,000 standards terms and is fully integrated into the IEEE Xplore interface.  This dictionary can be accessed in three ways:

a. From your search results

Perform a search and you will find, on the right-hand side, a box containing relevant terms:

When you click on a term, the dictionary will provide all definitions of that term:

b. From the abstract page

Once you have accessed the abstract page, the standard dictionary terms are available directly on that page:

c. Browse the dictionary

Also from your search results page, you can browse the dictionary:

Browsing can be done alphabetically or by standard/technology:

Citations by Other Publishers

The IEEE Xplore journal article abstract has always displayed a list of other IEEE documents that have cited the article. Since April 2011, a list of all articles that have cited the document from any publisher participating in CrossRef’s Cited-By Linking program will also be included. This information will be added for all IEEE journal articles and goes as far back as 1929.
