Submission Guidelines

Submission checklist.

Carefully review each item listed below before submitting your article. Article submissions that do not follow the guidelines below will be returned to draft or immediately rejected.

• Manuscript should be prepared in a double column, single-spaced format using a required IEEE Access template. A Word or LaTex file and a PDF file are both required upon submission. Content on each file must match exactly. File sizes should not exceed 40MB.  Download IEEE Access Templates for Microsoft Word and LaTex.
• The use of artificial intelligence (AI)–generated text in an article shall be disclosed in the acknowledgements section of any paper submitted to an IEEE Conference or Periodical. The sections of the paper that use AI-generated text shall have a citation to the AI system used to generate the text.  For more information  please click here.
• Author lists should be carefully considered before submission. For more information on what constitutes an author, please click here. Contributors who do not meet IEEE’s definition of authorship should be included in the Acknowledgment section of the article. Omitting an author who contributed to your article or including a person who did not fulfill authorship requirements is considered a breach of publishing ethics.  Once the list and order of authors has been established, the list and order of authors should not be altered without permission of all living authors of that article, and the decision to allow such changes rests with the Editor.
• Corresponding authors are required to have an ORCID ID associated with their account. For more information on ORCID, click here.
• Short biographies are required for ALL authors on an article submission. As indicated in the required IEEE Access templates, biographies of all authors should be included directly within the article below the references section.
• All authors should be listed on both the source file (Word of LaTex file) and the manuscript PDF file. When submitting your files ensure the submission system successfully extracts the full author list from your files.
• The article should be thoroughly reviewed for proper grammar before being submitted. Articles with poor grammar will be immediately rejected. If needed, IEEE Access offers Paperpal Preflight to assist authors in checking their manuscript for grammar issues prior to submission. Check your manuscript on Paperpal Preflight by clicking here .
• All research works should be carefully referenced. More information to avoid plagiarism is listed below.
• The article should not be submitted elsewhere at the same time. More information about duplicate submission can be found here .
• Supplementary material for review (if any)
• Manuscript keywords (minimum of 3 and maximum of 10).  Please carefully select the keywords as this is how we select a relevant Associate Editor to manage the peer review of your article.
• You will be required to select a manuscript type upon submission. A list and description of manuscript types are listed below. If you are unsure, please leave it as “Research Article”. *Please note that should your article be accepted, the manuscript type will be published on the article.
• Opposed reviewers (if any)
• Video (if any, maximum file size is 100MB)
• If the article was previously rejected after peer review with encouragement to update and resubmit, then a complete “list of updates” must be included in a separate document. The list of updates should have the following regarding each comment: 1) reviewers’ concerns, 2) authors’ response to the concerns, 3) actual changes implemented.
• IEEE Access does not have a page limit; however, we strongly recommend keeping the page count under 50 pages for ease of readability. Longer articles may result in longer peer review times. Additional content can be added as supplementary material.
• In alignment with the IEEE Code of Ethics and with respect to the wishes of the subject of the image, IEEE will no longer accept submitted papers which include the ‘Lena image’. For more information  please click here .

Hybrid journals

Multidisciplinary open access mega journal, fully open access journals, review process.

The majority of all IEEE transactions, journals, and letters offer a hybrid option, which permits both traditional subscription-based content as well as open access, author-pays content. Most of these journals have an established impact factor and are well respected. Additionally, the quality of the review process for OA and traditional articles is the same for all hybrid journals. Any open access papers published within a hybrid journal will be included in all media types offered by that title.

• How to submit an article

IEEE has introduced a new rapid-decision, open access mega journal spanning all IEEE fields of interest. All articles are author-pays. This new journal, IEEE Access , is designed to be inclusive in scope and application focused. The journal is fully open access and is available online only. Dr. Michael Pecht, founder and director of the Center for Advanced Life Cycle Engineering at the University of Maryland, has been named the journal’s first editor-in-chief. A Fellow of IEEE, ASME, and SAE, Pecht was formerly editor of IEEE Transactions on Reliability for eight years as well as an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology . He also has served on the editorial advisory board of IEEE Spectrum magazine.

Dr. Pecht is currently assembling an editorial advisory board for IEEE Access , as well as developing guidelines and procedures for prospective authors to follow.

• Learn about IEEE Access

IEEE’s existing journals, transactions and letters will continue the same high standard of peer review for all content submitted. In addition, IEEE’s new open access multidisciplinary mega journal and fully open access journals will draw on technical communities for peer reviewers, to apply the same care as for any new IEEE journal and ensure the best possible papers are being published.

Article Processing Charges

Authors using government research funding or university consortium funding may be required to publish in OA journals. In addition, authors may choose to publish open access to gain the largest possible audience for their innovative practical, applied, and theoretical research.

Similar to most gold open access publications, IEEE open access articles are supported by article processing charges (APCs), rather than through subscriptions. APCs may be paid by the author, the author’s institution, or a funding agency.

APC pricing for the various open access options available from IEEE are listed below.

For details on APC pricing related to IEEE institutional open access agreements, please see your institution’s administrator.

IEEE Article Processing Charges

• For the majority of IEEE’s fully open access journals, the article processing fee will be $1,995 USD. Some exceptions apply for certain titles, see individual journal author instructions for specific details.
• For IEEE Access , the article processing charge is $1,995 USD.
• For hybrid journals, the article processing charge will be $2,495 USD. Please note that some journals charge additional fees (e.g. overlength and color page charges). See individual journal author instructions for specific details.
• For the majority of IEEE magazines offering open access, the article processing fee will be $2,995 USD. Some exceptions apply for certain titles, see individual magazine author instructions for specific details.
• For all other existing IEEE open access publications, please check the individual journal’s author instructions for specific details.
• APCs are based on the article submission date to the IEEE publication.
• Local taxes will also be added if applicable.

Member Discounts

• Members of IEEE societies or councils are eligible to receive a 20% discount on APCs.
• IEEE members who are not members of individual IEEE societies or councils are eligible to receive a 5% discount on APCs.

Discounts do not apply to undergraduate and graduate students. Discounts cannot be combined or applied to any other fees such as overlength or color page charges.
