We were surprised to see the following on the ScholarOne webpage: *ATTENTION: * *The Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing is an Open Access only publication.*
New Open Access Pricing: $1,350 12 or fewer published pages $200 Per page 12+ published pages Open Access (OA) provides unrestricted access to peer-reviewed journal articles via the Internet. In lieu of paid subscriptions, authors are required to pay a publication fee after their paper has been accepted. This is unfortunate that journals (specifically IEEE ones) are asking the authors to pay such a high fee for having their work published.
