IEEE Access: IEEE Education Society Section

Aim & Scope

The theory and practice of education and educational technology involved in the effective delivery of domain knowledge of all fields within the scope of interest of IEEE.

About the IEEE Education Society Section in IEEE Access 

In response to IEEE's continued commitment to providing options to support the needs of all authors, IEEE is introducing an IEEE Education Society Section within IEEE Access⧉

We invite you to submit your open-access articles for peer-review and publication in this new open-access section. This is an exciting opportunity for your research to benefit from the high visibility and interest the journal’s marketing launch will generate. Your work will also be exposed to 5 million unique monthly users of the IEEE Xplore®⧉ Digital Library.

The IEEE Education Society section within IEEE Access will draw on the expert technical community to continue IEEE’s commitment to publishing the most highly-cited content. This section is fully open and compliant with funder mandates, including Plan S⧉.

The IEEE Education Society invites you to submit papers presenting ground-breaking research in engineering education, computing education, learning science, learning engineering, learning technologies, and innovative evidence-based classroom practice.

Papers Format

There is no page limit for articles. Submission checklist available here.

Open Access

This journal is 100% open access, which means that all content is freely available without charge to users or their institutions. All articles are published under a CC-BY 4.0 license⧉, and the author retains copyright. Users are allowed to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, or use them for any other lawful purpose, as long as proper attribution is given.

Open access is provided through the payment of an article-processing charge (APC) paid after acceptance. APCs are often financed by an author's institution or the funder supporting their research.

The articles in this journal are peer-reviewed in accordance with the requirements set forth in the IEEE Publication Services and Products Board Operations Manual. Each published article was reviewed by a minimum of two independent reviewers using a single-blind peer-review process, where the identities of the reviewers are not known to the authors, but the reviewers know the identities of the authors. Articles will be screened for plagiarism before acceptance. 

Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced APCs⧉.

Ethics

All IEEE authors are expected to adhere to IEEE’s publishing ethics, including the definition of authorship⧉, the appropriate citation of sources⧉, the accurate reporting of data⧉, and the publishing of original research⧉. Visit the IEEE Author Center⧉ to learn more. All articles submitted for publication should be original and not under consideration elsewhere; if your article is based on a previous publication such as a conference proceeding, cite the original publication and clearly indicate how the articles differ.  Contact the Editor-in-Chief with any questions on publishing ethics.

  4. Submit your figures individually in PS, EPS, PDF, PNG, or TIF format. Visit the IEEE Author Center⧉ for information on resolution, size requirements, file naming conventions, and more.
  5. For information on submitting supplementary material such as graphical abstracts, multimedia, or datasets, visit the IEEE Author Center⧉.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

For papers submitted in 2022, the Article Processing Charge (APC) is US$1850 plus applicable local taxes.

For papers submitted in 2023, the APC is US$1950 plus applicable local taxes. The following discounts apply:

  • IEEE Members receive a 5% discount.
  • IEEE (i.e. Computer) Society Members receive a 20% discount.

Discounts do not apply to undergraduate and graduate students. These discounts cannot be combined.

ORCID

All IEEE journals require an Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) for all authors. ORCID is a persistent unique identifier for researchers and functions similarly to an article’s Digital Object Identifier (DOI). You will need a registered ORCID to submit an article or review a proof in this journal. Learn more about ORCID⧉ and sign up for an ORCID⧉ today.

English Language Editing Services

English language editing services can help refine the language of your article and reduce the risk of rejection without review.  IEEE authors are eligible for discounts at several language editing services; visit the IEEE Author Center⧉ to learn more. Please note these services are fee-based and do not guarantee acceptance.

Share Your Code and Data

Increase the impact of your work by sharing your code and data for others to view, build upon, and reuse.  IEEE works with Code Ocean, a cloud-based computational reproducibility platform, to make your code discoverable.  IEEE DataPort, an online data repository of datasets and data analysis tools, makes your datasets discoverable.  Visit the IEEE Author Center⧉ for more information.
