IEEE Software has won another Publication Excellence award from APEX, a leading annual competition for communication and publishers. The IEEE team is incredibly honored and excited to continue our mission of keeping IEEE members informed on major trends and developments in technology, engineering, and science.
The distinguished 2025 APEX Awards were in the Magazines, Journals & Tabloids category for the issue “Well-being for Resilience — Developers Thrive!” (Jul.-Aug. 2024).
As a previous APEX winner in 2019, IEEE Software is recognized for its trustworthy and credible resources and research for its work within engineering. With 486,000 members across more than 190 countries, IEEE is the world’s largest professional organization dedicated to engineering and applied sciences.
Sigrid Eldh, Editor in Chief of IEEE Software, is a software industry veteran with 40 years in the field and is responsible for the high-quality thought leadership across IEEE’s Claire publications.
“I am truly honoured to win the APEX 2025 award on behalf of IEEE Software, ‘Well-being for Resilience – Developers Thrive,’ Jul.-Aug. 2024,” she said, “Creating the magazine is a team effort, and I could not be prouder of our editorial team, advisory board, our special guest editors and all the authors, reviewers, not to forget all the effort behind the scenes such as the publication team, web support, designers and all others who all makes this magazine such a great source of information to our readership. Thank you to IEEE and IEEE Computer Society for all your support, and the judges at APEX who voted for us!”
