The tenth Q&A in a series exploring the current state of Open Access
has been published, this time with IEEE’s Anthony Durniak.

Durniak leads the professional staff that operate IEEE’s publishing
and online information services. He is also responsible for IEEE
Spectrum, the organisation’s flagship monthly magazine of technology
trends and insight, and The Proceedings of the IEEE, the
organisation’s leading scholarly journal.

Incorporated in 1896, and headquartered in New York City, IEEE (The
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) is a non-profit
corporation and professional association. It has more than 425,000
members in more than 160 countries. Membership consists of engineers,
scientists, and allied professionals whose technical interests are
rooted in electrical and computer sciences, engineering, and related
disciplines.

IEEE publishes around 160 journals, magazines and conference
proceedings from the more than 1,300 conferences and workshops it
holds each year. As such, it publishes nearly a third of the world’s
technical literature in electrical engineering, computer science, and
electronics. IEEE is, therefore, a scholarly publisher, although not a
commercial publisher but a learned society.

Where does IEEE currently stand on Open Access? Read the Q&A to find out:
