Abstract :
ln June 2012 EDS secured approval to launch its very own "all electronic" Open Access IEEE Journal of Electron Devices (J-EDS). As the word "Open Access" implies, articles published in J-EDS will be available to all professionals worldwide for the asking without any strings attached in terms of IEEE I EDS membership or a paid subscription. Furthermore, they can be freely posted and shared among researchers so long as the source is properly cited. The pros of this approach include a wider readership and citation of the work. The flip side of the coin is that the author must have financial resources to be in the game.
