The scope of the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing (JSTSP) is the Field of Interest of the IEEE Signal Processing Society: “The theory and application of filtering, coding, transmitting, estimating, detecting, analyzing, recognizing, synthesizing, recording, and reproducing signals by digital or analog devices or techniques. The term “signal” includes audio, video, speech, image, communication, geophysical, sonar, radar, medical, musical, and other signals.” The format of the journal allows the exploration, in depth, of a signal processing topic by providing a tutorial article supported by several briefer articles in the topical area that provides the broadest possible examination of the topic considering the submissions. This format allows the Society to not only provide review issues on more mature signal processing topical areas, but also to explore new areas, particularly those at the nexus of other engineering disciplines that are dependent upon signal processing (e.g., biomedical engineering; language), as well as those not traditionally part of the engineering landscape (e.g., genetics; security; atmospheric prediction).

《IEEE信號(hào)處理選擇主題期刊》(JSTSP)的范圍是IEEE信號(hào)處理學(xué)會(huì)感興趣的領(lǐng)域：“通過數(shù)字或模擬設(shè)備或技術(shù)對(duì)信號(hào)進(jìn)行濾波、編碼、傳輸、估計(jì)、檢測(cè)、分析、識(shí)別、合成、記錄和再現(xiàn)的理論和應(yīng)用。“信號(hào)”一詞包括音頻、視頻、語音、圖像、通信、地球物理、聲納、雷達(dá)、醫(yī)學(xué)、音樂和其他信號(hào)。“該期刊的格式允許深入探索信號(hào)處理主題，它提供了一篇教程文章，由該主題領(lǐng)域的幾篇更簡(jiǎn)短的文章支持，提供了考慮到提交的主題的盡可能廣泛的檢查。”這種形式使社會(huì)不僅可以提供關(guān)于更成熟的信號(hào)處理熱門領(lǐng)域的評(píng)論問題，而且還可以探索新的領(lǐng)域，特別是那些與依賴于信號(hào)處理的其他工程學(xué)科(例如，生物醫(yī)學(xué)工程；以及那些傳統(tǒng)上不屬于工程領(lǐng)域的領(lǐng)域(例如，遺傳學(xué)；安全；大氣預(yù)測(cè))。
