After your paper is accepted for publication in IEEESEM, complete your registration by paying the all-inclusive publication fee. No hidden charges, no additional costs — one flat fee covers everything from peer review to global indexing and EOI issuance.
Follow these steps after receiving your acceptance notification. Registration must be completed before the camera-ready deadline for your paper to appear in the scheduled issue.
IEEESEM is committed to making open-access publishing accessible to researchers worldwide. Fee waivers or reductions may be available on a case-by-case basis for authors who are unable to meet the standard publication charge. Waiver requests are considered at the sole discretion of the editorial board.
The $60 USD publication fee is truly all-inclusive. There are no additional charges at any stage — from submission through to post-publication indexing and certification.
