Why it is worth attention

It eliminates dependency headaches by shipping the official IEEE Access document class, fonts, and all required packages, and its modular structure simplifies version control and collaborative editing.

Who it is for

Researchers preparing submissions to IEEE Access
LaTeX users seeking a structured paper template
Students learning academic writing with LaTeX
Teams collaborating on IEEE-style documents

Use cases

Writing and submitting a paper to IEEE Access
Managing large documents with multiple sections and co-authors
Quickly prototyping an IEEE Access paper without installing missing packages
Teaching LaTeX modular document organization

Strengths

Modular file structure — each section in its own file under sections/
Bundled ieeeaccess.cls, fonts, and CTAN packages so it compiles immediately on Overleaf, TeX Live, and MiKTeX
Preconfigured hyperlinks, float tuning, and biography spacing
Detailed instructions for adding sections, figures, tables, and references

Considerations

The bundled fonts and IEEE class files have their own license terms (IEEE property) and may not be freely redistributable beyond this template
References are initially manual (thebibliography) and require switching to BibTeX if desired
Requires basic LaTeX knowledge to customize or debug compilation errors

IEEE Access — Modular LaTeX Template

A clean, ready-to-use IEEE Access paper template with a modular file structure: every part of the paper (title, abstract, each section, references, biographies) lives in its own file under sections/, so the main file stays short and the paper is easy to navigate and version-control.

This template ships with the official IEEE Access document class (ieeeaccess.cls) and all required fonts, so it compiles out of the box — no extra downloads needed.

Requirements

You only need a LaTeX distribution — there is nothing else to install.

Overleaf — works immediately, nothing to set up. Just upload the folder.
TeX Live (full) — works out of the box.
MiKTeX — works too; if it reports a missing package on the first compile, let it install on the fly (MiKTeX downloads missing packages automatically), or enable it once with: initexmf --set-config-value "[MPM]AutoInstall=1".

Bundled with this repo (no installation needed): the document class (ieeeaccess.cls), IEEEtran.cls/.bst, spotcolor.sty, and all fonts (t1-*.pfb/.tfm/.fd/.map).

Standard CTAN packages used (all included in a full TeX Live / Overleaf, auto-installed by MiKTeX): cite, amsmath, amssymb, amsfonts, algorithm, algorithmic, graphicx, textcomp, booktabs, multirow, array, pifont, placeins, bm, stfloats, etoolbox, hyperref.
