You, the author, retain all rights to your article and the article is free and fully available to anyone with internet access. This means that your research will be available to a wider and more diverse group of researchers in both industry and academia. This directly impacts your contributions to the field of circuits and systems increasing both global engagement with and citation of your work.
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. Corresponding authors from low-income countries are eligible for waived or reduced APCs.

Author FAQ
CCBY-NC-ND is an open access publishing license that allows authors to retain ownership of the copyright for their work while granting all users permission to publish and distribute the work. Authors should visit the Creative Commons web page to understand the full terms of the CCBY-NC-ND, which is nonexclusive, applies to all potential users, and grants users rights to distribute the work without obtaining explicit permission from the author. However, under CCBY-NC-ND the reuse cannot be for commercial purposes or change the work in any way.
Any author who pays an article processing charge (APC) for open access publishing status will be entitled to use the CCBY-NC-ND license.
Authors submitting a manuscript who opt for a CCBY-NC-ND license are required to accept the Terms & Conditions of IEEE in order for their paper to be published and posted in Xplore.
Authors who choose to submit under a CCBY-NC-ND license will be subject to the publishing policies and procedures of the IEEE. For example, authors must:
warrant that their papers meet the provisions of the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual covering originality, authorship, and author responsibilities
further warrant that, to the extent their papers incorporate text passages, figures, data or other material from the works of others, they have obtained all necessary third-party permissions
consent to having their work submitted to a plagiarism detection tool and to be bound by IEEE policies concerning plagiarism and author misconduct.
Authors who want to submit their manuscripts under a CCBY-NC-ND license, or whose research has been supported by any funding agency and who are now required to submit their manuscripts under a CCBY-NC-ND license, should complete the electronic IEEE Copyright Form (eCF), and select the CCBY-NC-ND license. If authors accidentally select another publishing option, or they were unable to complete the eCF, they should provide a letter or email to the editorial staff or the IEEE Intellectual Property Rights Office, in which letter they should clearly state their interest in submitting their manuscript under a CCBY-NC-ND license. The letter should also provide basic information about the manuscript (e.g., author names, article title, and IEEE publication title to which the manuscript is being submitted). Authors will receive an acceptance letter indicating that the CCBY-NC-ND license has been approved.
Under a CCBY-NC-ND license, authors are allowed to distribute the published versions of their OA articles however they choose, including to their funding agencies or institutional repositories.
Instead of the traditional IEEE copyright notice at the bottom of the first page of the published article, readers will see an explicit statement indicating the OA status of the article, such as “This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution- NonCommercial-No Derivatives 4.0 License.”
