The Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) is actively involved in the publishing of submitted manuscripts. However, one effect of these activities has been the steady increase in the journal's publishing costs, a situation that is putting a strain on our financial conditions. To avoid this vicious circle, in which the more actively we publish the greater our financial burden grows, our General Assembly of this May approved a change, effective April 2006, away from distribution of IEICE Transactions in the conventional journal format to furnishing the rights to access online versions. Also endorsed were revisions in the related regulations.
