Here is
IEEE’s policy for handling of manuscripts
from authors in embargoed countries. This
policy is based on the ruling IEEE received
from the United States Office of Foreign Assets
Control (OFAC) in December 2004.
The
following activities may be done:
- authors residing in Iran, Cuba and
Sudan may submit their manuscripts to
the IEEE;
- IEEE may send manuscripts written by
authors residing in Iran, Cuba and Sudan
to our member volunteers for peer review and
comments or questions (no matter where
they are located);
- IEEE editors may collect the peer
reviewer comments and communicate those
comments or questions on those manuscripts to
authors residing in Iran, Cuba and
Sudan;
- IEEE reviewers and IEEE editors (both
volunteer and staff) may edit or
otherwise revise manuscripts written by authors
residing in Iran, Cuba and Sudan.
IEEE is free to publish such papers, once they
pass peer-review.
