Page Charges

After a manuscript has been accepted for publication, the author's company or institution will be requested to pay a charge of $110 per printed page to cover part of the cost of publication. Page charges for this TRANSACTIONS, like those for journals of other professional societies, are not obligatory, nor is their payment a prerequisite for publication. If the voluntary page charge is not honored, IEEE will impose a mandatory overlength page charge of $200 for each page in excess of 10 for Regular paper, 6 for Correspondence, 4 for Comments, and 15 for Survey. The total manuscript length (excluding supplementary materials) with over-length page charge must be less than 15 pages for a regular paper, 21 pages for a survey paper, and 9 pages for a correspondence paper.

Authors who are concerned with these mandatory changes are encouraged to estimate the length of their manuscripts prior to submission. Detailed instructions on payment of these charges will accompany the page proof.
