Hi all, Please forgive me for this off-topic, but I think many of you can give an advice based on your experiences. IEEE asks for optional 110 dollars per page for publishing papers. How do people generally respond to this request? Does IEEE really need this support? Does it affect the chances of acceptance of your future papers, if you do not pay? Regards, Ishtiaq.

It's a bit of a bloomin cheek if you ask me - journals need to have things nearly print-ready nowadays and they even want us to pay them?!!

IEEE is not the end all and be all of things DSP or even of things EE. the fact that they do this is proof, as i see it, that the IEEE Transactions exist not for the benefit of the reader (who ostensibly would want to learn something new) but for the benefit of the academics who need a publication outlet for the sake of their C.V. (what the rest of us might call our "resume"). might add another example to the term "academic narciscism". kinda like these "vanity presses" that will publish your book for you. (i don't need them. hell, i'm gonna put "Time magazine Person of the Year, 2006" on my resume. who needs to publish in IEEE Transactions any more?) r b-j

Will you please tell us what IEEE publication (the name of the journal or transaction) that is asking you to pay money? Thanks, [-Rick-]

Is the money requested of Ishtiaq intended to pay for "reformatting" so that his manuscript complies with the IEEE typesetter's required format (for text, equations, & artwork)? [-Rick-]

This is voluntary payment of 110 dollars per page. However, if the paper is longer than the specified limit, the payment is mandatory for extra pages at a higher rate. For example, you can refer to IEEE Trans. Multimedia. Please read the last section at the following site: http://www.ieee.org/organizations/society/sp/tmm/infotmm.html Regards, Ishtiaq.

The money is not for reformatting. It is "to cover part of the cost of publication," in their words. Ishtiaq.
