Scope
IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence publishes research on computer vision, pattern recognition, machine learning, and artificial intelligence, including image and video analysis, 3D reconstruction, deep learning architectures, and probabilistic modeling. The journal focuses on rigorous algorithmic contributions with strong theoretical foundations and empirical validation on standard benchmarks across perception and learning tasks.
What it costs to publish
Reported: Optional open access: USD 2,800
Charges differ by publication route. Subscription is not open access; the APC does not include every possible extra charge.
USD 2,800
Source-linked report, not independently confirmed. Research notes (English): 2026 hybrid-journal APC. APCs are based on the article submission date. Some hybrid journals also charge overlength or color; the TPAMI row prices overlength and does not price color. IEEE member 5 percent or society/council member 20 percent discount on the APC only; students excluded; discounts cannot be combined or applied to overlength or color.
Basis / unit: article. Tax terms (source language): Local taxes will also be added if applicable.
No charge reported for this route
Source-linked report, not independently confirmed. Research notes (English): Traditional submission: no OA payment. Mandatory overlength charges can still apply. Author page is the IEEE Computer Society TPAMI page. Print ISSN 0162-8828 appears on the December 2020 masthead; the online ISSN 1939-3539 was not re-read on a 2026 page.
Basis / unit: article. Tax terms (source language): No OA APC on this route.
USD 220
Source-linked report, not independently confirmed. Research notes (English): 2026 IEEE APC list, updated 30 July 2026: TPAMI hybrid, per-page overlength charge 220 USD, and 12 in the regular-paper page-allowance column. The current TPAMI author page says regular papers are 12 double-column pages including references and biographies, submissions may reach 18 pages subject to MOPC, and pages beyond the limit after final layout incur MOPC. Short 8, comments 2.5 and survey 20 are listed as manuscript lengths; the author page ties MOPC expressly to regular papers.
Basis / unit: page. Tax terms (source language): Not stated for overlength charges.
Not established
Research notes (English): The IEEE low- and lower-middle-income OA discount program consulted is written for fully open access journals. No TPAMI author page retrieved in this session publishes a waiver procedure for the hybrid APC or for mandatory overlength charges. No current color-charge amount for TPAMI was on the 2026 APC list.

APC, page charges, over-length, S2O: what each one means
- APC
- Article processing charge: a fee per article to publish it open access. It is not the whole cost.
- Page charges
- A fee per printed or typeset page. It can apply with or without an APC.
- Over-length
- Pages beyond a length limit, billed at a different rate. Each page pays one rate, never both.
- S2O
- Subscribe to Open: subscribers keep the journal free to read, decided year by year. Page charges can still apply.
- Agreement
- A deal between an institution or country and a publisher that may cover the APC. Never automatic.
