IEEE 解除對華為員工限制，可繼續參與編輯與審稿工作

6 月 3 日，IEEE 官方發布聲明，表示解除對華為員工參與編輯和同行評審活動的限制。此前，中國十家學會於6 月 2 日晚發布《關於IEEE限制正常學術交流事件的鄭重聲明》，對這一事件表示「深感震驚」（聲明鏈接）。

IEEE 聲明全文如下：

IEEE聲明更新：

IEEE解除對編輯和同行評審活動的限制

2019年5月16日星期四，美國商務部對華為技術有限公司及其68家子公司實施了出口管制。之後，IEEE發布了合規性的聲明，並表示如果美國政府就出口管制條例在同行評審方面的應用做出進一步說明，IEEE會做出相應更新。

為此，IEEE向美國商務部要求就出口管制條例在IEEE出版活動的適用性做出說明。目前，IEEE已收到相關說明。根據新的信息，華為及其子公司的員工可以參加IEEE出版過程的同行評審和編輯工作。所有IEEE會員都可以繼續正常參與IEEE的全部活動，無論他們的僱主是誰。

我們此前限制性的做法完全是為了保護我們的志願者和會員，規避相關的法律風險。在我們收到相關說明後，法律風險得以解除。我們由衷地感謝來自世界各地的會員和志願者向IEEE提出的問題和意見，同時也感謝大家耐心等待我們處理好這一複雜的法律情況。

一直以來，IEEE致力於向其會員、志願者和整個技術社區提供廣闊的學術活動平台和幫助。其中，IEEE每年在全球舉辦1900餘場專業技術會議，並在IEEE Xplore上提供超過480萬份文獻資料。

IEEE認為科學和技術是全球性的活動。我們為全球的IEEE會員在世界各地開展的工作而感到自豪。IEEE將繼續為推動技術創新與進步貢獻力量，為人類社會謀福祉。

Statement Update: IEEE Lifts Restrictions on Editorial and Peer Review Activities

On Thursday, May 16, 2019, the U.S. Department of Commerce applied export control restrictions to Huawei Technology Ltd. and 68 of its affiliates. IEEE issued a statement regarding compliance and stated if the U.S. government clarified the application of the U.S. Export Administration Regulations with respect to peer review IEEE would provide an update to the IEEE community.

IEEE has received the requested clarification from the U.S. Department of Commerce on the applicability of these export control restrictions to IEEE』s publication activities. Based on this new information, employees of Huawei and its affiliates may participate as peer reviewers and editors in our publication process. All IEEE members, regardless of employer, can continue to participate in all of the activities of the IEEE.

Our initial, more restrictive approach was motivated solely by our desire to protect our volunteers and our members from legal risk. With the clarification received, this risk has been addressed. We appreciate the many questions and comments from our members and volunteers around the world and thank them for their patience as we worked through a legally complex situation.

IEEE offers a wide range of activities and benefits for its members, volunteers and the wider technical community, including sponsoring more than 1,900 annual conferences and events worldwide and providing access to over 4.8 million publications on IEEE Xplore.

IEEE recognizes that science and technology are a global activity. We are proud of the work our members do around the world and we are dedicated to advancing technological excellence for the benefit of humanity.
