Aims & Scope

IEEE Access® is a multidisciplinary, open access (OA), applications-oriented, all-electronic archival journal that continuously presents the results of original research or development across all of IEEE's fields of interest.

IEEE Access will publish articles that are of high interest to readers, original, technically correct, and clearly presented.

Supported by author publication charges (APC), its hallmarks are a rapid peer review and publication process with open access to all readers.

Unlike IEEE's traditional Transactions or Journals, reviews are "binary", in that reviewers will either Accept or Reject an article in the form it is submitted in order to achieve rapid turnaround.

Especially encouraged are submissions on: Multidisciplinary topics, or applications-oriented articles and negative results that do not fit within the scope of IEEE's traditional journals.

Practical articles discussing new experiments or measurement techniques, interesting solutions to engineering.

Development of new or improved fabrication or manufacturing techniques.

Reviews or survey articles of new or evolving fields oriented to assist others in understanding the new area.
