From http://www.ieee.org/publications_standards/publications/ieee_access_info_for_authors.pdf
:

"Copyright Information
You will be asked to complete a copyright transfer form upon
submission of your article to
IEEE Access, just as IEEE asks of authors submitting to all other
journals, both open access
and traditional. However, the copyright transfer form used with open
access journals
includes two key provisions not found in a traditional copyright
transfer form: a) IEEE grants
the author the right to re-use their work and to post the final
article on their web site or
that of their employer; and b) IEEE commits to making the article
freely available to all
readers without any obstacles."

So there is no talk of actual Open Access under CC BY. All this for USD 1750...

My reading is that you pay IEEE 1750 USD AND hand over the copyright.

Open Access??? Free as in very weak beer and no speech at all.

The term Open Access has by now been so bastardized, abused, and re-appropriated that it's probably high time to introduce a new, meaningful, term for publication patterns that align with the intent of early open access advocates.

It's impressively cynical of IEEE to try to draw authors to a new open access journal while they continue to close access to their other journals.� The announcement falsely advertises the benefits of "publishing with IEEE" (respect, trust, citation) when of course, the benefits accrue to particular (closed access) *journals* that IEEE happens to own.�� The new journal starts with none of those.� That being the case, why publish there, when I can publish in equally non-respected open access journals for free?�

Absolutely - Jan Velterop and I have been trying for at least 5 years on the GOAL list. But we get publicly shouted down, often pretty crudely, by the "Green" faction who are anti-licence and anti-definitions. "Reach for the reachable" (i.e. put an "open access" copy in the repo and don't waste time on definitions till the repos are full).

We have created the OKFN open-access list (copied) to reinforce the need for clear BOAI-compliant "open access". Let's try to grow a community where we can have proper discussion and creative activity of how to achieve BOAI in practice.
