Information for Max Planck Authors
MPDL established an agreement with IEEE which allows authors to publish open access in all hybrid and Gold titles under a free Creative Commons Attribution license. The hybrid and gold open access agreement with Max Planck Society centrally covers the open access publication charge for Max Planck affiliated corresponding authors, meaning that authors or institutes will not be invoiced.
In order to make use of the agreement, please make sure to meet the following general conditions when publishing with IEEE:
- A Max Planck author must be the corresponding author of the article.
- The author is affiliated with a Max Planck Institute and publishes under this affiliation - the Max Planck Institute must be stated in the article.
- The article is accepted between Jan 1, 2026 and Dec 31, 2028 in an IEEE journal.
- The article matches one of these types: Research Article, Letters, Reviews.
- Charges for additional options (color-in-print, posters etc.) are NOT covered by this agreement.
Please make sure to use your Max Planck email address if possible and state your Max Planck affiliation at submission and during all stages of production to enable identification for eligibility under the agreement. During the production process, IEEE and Max Planck Digital Library will verify author eligibility.
The list of all IEEE journals in which you can publish your article OA at no cost to you is available on the MPG OA Journal Finder
