Publisher profile

IEEE

Engineering and computing publications with distinct journal, letters and review-article formats.

Overview

Electrical engineering, electronics, computing and technology

IEEE publishes across electrical engineering, electronics and computing. IEEE Access is a multidisciplinary, fully open-access journal; Proceedings of the IEEE has a different role as a reference publication for engineers and computer scientists. Start by deciding whether your contribution is original research, a short technical communication or a broader review.

The IEEE Author Center directs authors to the Aims & Scope and Information for Authors for each publication. It distinguishes brief Letters from full-length Transactions or Journal papers. Those format differences affect the submission package and can also affect charges, so they should be resolved before final formatting.

The assessment

What the rating tells you.

Read our methodology

Safe & Trusted

The publisher is classified as Safe & Trusted in our directory. This is a positive publisher-level assessment. The next step is to confirm that the particular journal meets your research, funding and institutional requirements.

How the assessment is formed

Our evaluation framework considers peer review, editorial credibility, transparency, publishing ethics, indexing and researcher feedback. The overall rating and category are recorded here; a criterion-by-criterion score breakdown is not included in this record.

A rating is not a guarantee of a journal’s suitability or of a particular publication outcome. Check policies at the journal level and confirm claims at their source.

Assessment areaWhat to look forPublisher policies and sources

Editorial accountability

Named editors, relevant affiliations and a clear way to contact the editorial office.

IEEE journal and society pages identify the editorial leadership. The Author Center explains where to find each journal’s publication details on IEEE Xplore.Finding journal instructions and editorial information

Peer review

A documented review model, reviewer selection and a process for editorial decisions.

A submission can be declined for scope before external review. Review arrangements belong to the individual publication; follow its Information for Authors and submission instructions.Submission and review process

Indexing and discoverability

The exact journal title and ISSN in the index itself; coverage dates and current status.

Check the exact journal title, ISSN and coverage dates in the database required by your institution. Inclusion of one title does not establish coverage for the publisher’s other journals.Publisher journal catalogue How to verify indexing

Fees and business model

A complete fee schedule, payment timing, waivers and any additional publication charges.

IEEE publishes year-specific APC schedules and warns that some titles also have overlength or colour charges. Check the submission-date rule, taxes and any institutional agreement.Current APC schedule

Copyright and licensing

The publishing agreement, author rights and a licence that meets your funder’s requirements.

IEEE’s OA guidance describes CC BY and CC BY-NC-ND options with author-retained copyright. Verify the licence offered by the journal against your funder’s required reuse rights.Open-access copyright and licences

Ethics and corrections

Policies on authorship, competing interests, misconduct, appeals, corrections and retractions.

IEEE requires submission to one publication at a time. Check the target journal’s ethics and author instructions, particularly when extending conference work into a journal article.Author submission requirements

Digital preservation

A named preservation service and a clear long-term access policy.

Portico has a publisher record with linked journal holdings. Check the exact title and the content received or committed there; publisher participation alone does not establish complete coverage of every journal and year.Publisher record and holdings at Portico

IEEE Access

A fully open-access journal for original research and development across IEEE’s fields of interest. Check its technical scope and review expectations, rather than treating breadth as automatic fit.

Proceedings of the IEEE

A reference journal for engineers and computer scientists. Read the separate instructions for regular papers, special-issue papers and special features before preparing a contribution.
