Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications is directly under the Ministry of Education, jointly established by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and one of the first national key universities to carry out the “211 Project” construction. A multidisciplinary, research-oriented university with engineering as the main body and coordinated development of engineering, management, arts and sciences is an important training base for information technology talents in my country. In 2017, the two discipline groups of “Information Network Science and Technology Discipline Group” and “Computer Science and Network Security Discipline Group” entered the ranks of first-class discipline construction.

IEEE and DRAA, the Digital Resource Acquisition Alliance of Chinese Academic Libraries, have entered into an open access read and publish agreement. This agreement makes it more convenient for corresponding authors to publish open access articles with IEEE’s industry leading journals and magazines as eligible authors pay reduced article processing charges (APCs) and may have the opportunity to pay no APCs as some of these costs are waived under the agreement.
