I had the same requirement from a manuscript that I submitted IEEE Sensors
journal, which came back with only ONE and unbelievably poor review which
the handling editor seemed to wholeheartedly support. It showed the
reviewer (and the handling editor) did not even read the paper and made
sweeping statements that pointed to the fact I did not cite papers
published in IEEE Sensors. There were at least 30 references to related
papers published in IEEE journals and conferences, one of which the
reviewer even claimed that is not available online - an paper that is
published in 2009 in IEEE Xplore!
Obviously, I am not going to submit any other manuscripts to that journal!
