【Electronic Resources】IEEE Open Access Journal (OA) Discount Information

Chang Gung University continues its participation in the CONCERT consortium subscription to IEEE databases in 2026. Researchers from Chang Gung University who submit manuscripts to IEEE Open Access (OA) journals as corresponding authors, with the article acceptance date between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026, are eligible for discounted  Article Processing Charge (APC) provided through the CONCERT consortium. For applicable journals and APC pricing, please refer to the  2026 IEEE Fully OA List and 2026 IEEE Hybrid OA List.
  1. Qualifications: The corresponding author must be a faculty member or student of the university. When submitting a manuscript, please select “Chang Gung University” from the Author Affiliation drop-down menu, or use one of the following university email addresses: 
    • @cgu.edu.tw
    • @mail.cgu.edu.tw
    • @gap.cgu.edu.tw
  2. Payment Method:
    • After the manuscript is accepted, Hinton Information Co., Ltd. will send a NewebPay payment link to the corresponding author’s email address.
    • The author shall select a payment method on the NewebPay payment page and complete the payment by providing basic information such as invoice title and tax ID number. Upon completion of payment, the submission process will be deemed complete. (If the payer is not the corresponding author, please notify customer support in advance prior to payment for verification purposes.)
    • The electronic invoice (proof copy) in New Taiwan Dollars will be sent to the payer’s email address after the submission process is completed.
  3. Other Notes:
    • IEEE societies or journals reserve the right to adjust APC amounts or offer special discounts on a case-by-case basis at any time. The actual APC may be higher or lower than the annual IEEE list price and shall be determined by the amount displayed in the RSLC system. For the most up-to-date APC information, please refer to the APC lists on IEEE Open and CONCERT, or contact customer support at IEEE_OA@hintoninfo.com for confirmation.
    • Only one discount scheme may be applied per submission. CONCERT consortium discounts cannot be combined with submissions that already receive special discounts. Authors or their affiliated institutions may choose the most appropriate discount option at their discretion.
    • In 2026, the University is allocated two Fully OA free tokens, which will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the tokens are fully used, no additional free credits will be available.
