IEEE Access

IEEE Access is an online only, open access journal of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Established in May 2013, IEEE Access is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes original articles across all of the IEEE fields of interest. All IEEE Access published articles have a global reach via the IEEE Xplore digital library for free. The Editor in Chief is Michael Pecht, Ph.D.

Peer Review Process

IEEE Access has a rapid, binary peer review publishing system. The approximate time from submission to decision is 4–6 weeks. Articles are reviewed for technical substance and presentation quality by Associate Editors. The IEEE Access Editors are responsible for adhering to the publication policies and procedures of IEEE and ensuring that the publication maintains the highest quality by selecting appropriate reviewers for each article in the peer review. After collecting all feedback from the reviewers, the final accept/reject decisions are made by the Associate Editor.

IEEE Access accepts the integration of multimedia within articles. Multimedia (video abstracts, graphics, and video demonstrations) is sent through peer review along with article submissions.

Journal Content

  1. Interdisciplinary topics, or applications-oriented articles that do not fit in the scope of traditional journals.
  2. Practical discussions of new experimental or measurement techniques, including negative results.
  3. Practical articles that describe interesting solutions to engineering or information system design challenges.
  4. Development of new or improved fabrication or manufacturing techniques.
  5. Reviews of new or evolving fields oriented to assist others in understanding of these emerging topics.

Special Sections

IEEE Access hosts Special Sections that highlight a specific topic of general IEEE interest. Associate Editors propose a concentration area that emphasizes applications-oriented and interdisciplinary topics. The Associate Editor and the IEEE Access editorial staff then send out a "Call for Papers" to academic and industrial researchers to submit articles that identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results in the Special Section. Special Sections have a deadline for submission.

Business Model

IEEE Access is supported by article processing charges (APC) that are paid by the authors. The APC is $1,750 per article.

Impact Factor

IEEE Access has been accepted into the Thomson Reuters Science Citation Index Expanded. Starting with Volume 1 of 2013, IEEE Access will be included in the Web of Science, Journal Citation Report, and Current Contents Engineering, Computing and Technology edition. According to IEEE Xplore, impact factor for IEEE Access in 2016 is 3.244 and 3.557 in 2017[1].

Other Services

Authors of published material have the ability to track usage metrics and citations of published articles. IEEE Access also allows readers and authors to comment on articles.

IEEE Access has a LinkedIn page, Facebook page, Twitter, and G+ page where newly published articles, upcoming conferences, popular article highlights, industry news, and engineering facts and tips are announced.

IEEE Access has a YouTube channel where video abstracts, author testimonials, and informational videos are posted.

IEEE TV is an archival online video series where select multimedia for IEEE Access articles and informational videos are listed.
