IEEE is committed to working with institutions and funders to provide sustainable open access publishing opportunities to authors that allow for a wider dissemination of knowledge and enables authors to maximize exposure of their research. IEEE works with funders to enable authors to comply with open access policies when publishing in IEEE journals.
IEEE has options available that comply with the open access requirements of the funders listed below.
When required by their funder and documented in writing, authors may retain the right to distribute their accepted manuscript (AM) via an institutional and/or subject repository (e.g., Europe PubMed Central) to be made available for release no later than the date of first online publication.
Note: If a CC BY is required as well, an Article Processing Charge (APC) or other fees may apply.
