IEEE is overriding its scientific referees and flat-out refusing to accept public-domain papers.
Wow. That’s such scummy behavior. I’m disappointed to see it from such an upstanding standards organization.
In his messages to the student, the IEEE Intellectual Property Rights Manager had explained IEEE's alleged need for being ``the owner of the work'' as follows: ``We can put it into the Xplore database and license it to others as one of our ongoing electronic distribution of IEEE publications.''
IEEE's action is a blatant attempt to maintain control over papers that would otherwise have been freely available to the public.
