IEEE publication fees can be broken down into several categories:

Article Processing Charges (APCs) for Open Access:

Fully Open Access Journals: For the majority of IEEE's fully open access journals, the article processing fee is $1,995 USD. However, there may be some exceptions for certain titles, and specific details should be checked in the individual journal author instructions.

Hybrid Journals: In hybrid journals, which offer both traditional subscription-based access and an open access option, the article processing charge is $2,495 USD. Again, some journals may have additional fees associated with them.

Member Discounts: IEEE society or council members are eligible for a 20% discount on APCs. Non-society or council members of IEEE are eligible for a 5% discount. But these discounts do not apply to undergraduate and graduate students, and they cannot be combined or applied to other fees such as overlength or color page charges.

Page Charges:

Length Limits and Charges: Most IEEE journals have a limit on the number of pages per article. If an author chooses to exceed this limit, they will have to pay overlength page charges. The specific amount of these charges can vary according to the journal.

Example: After a manuscript has been accepted for publication in some cases, the author’s company or institution may be requested to pay a charge of $110 per printed page for exceeding the page limits.

Color Printing Fees:

Online vs. Print: Online publication of graphics in color is usually free at IEEE. But if an author wants to print their graphics in color, there is a fee of $275 USD per color graphic.

Reprint Fees: If an author wishes to purchase print copies of their published article, there are reprint fees associated with this service. The specific cost can vary depending on the number of copies and other factors.

It is important to note that while there may be these associated fees, publishing with IEEE also comes with several benefits. The IEEE Xplore digital library offers high visibility and discoverability for research, with over 6 million documents and millions of downloads each month. IEEE is also a highly cited publisher in US and European new technology patents. Additionally, IEEE has a wide range of publishing outlets, allowing authors to choose the right venue for their work. Whether it is the right choice for your work depends on your research goals, funding availability, and the desire for wider dissemination of your work through open access.
