    Basic Open Access information

    What is open access?

    Open access (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted access to, and re-use of, journal articles. This is different to free access because of the implications for re-use.

    How will readers know which articles are available via open access?

    Articles will be clearly labeled as open access. Any users therefore be notified when an open access article is published.

    Which journals currently offer Open Access?

    The majority of our journals offer the optional open access option. Please visit the individual journal homepages to see whether they offer an open access option.

    When will I be given the choice to pay a publication charge that will enable my paper to be freely available online?

    Upon acceptance of your paper you will be required to sign a license/consent form to publish online. As part of this process you will be asked to indicate whether you would like to publish your article under an open access license and pay the associated charge.

    Can I make my article open access after it has already been published under subscription control?

    If the journal offers the option to publish under an Open Access license, please email us at [email protected] and we can arrange this for you.

    How will you ensure that the payment for publication charges by authors has no influence on whether an article is accepted for publication?

    All manuscripts submitted to journals that offer an open access option will continue to be subject to the same rigorous process of editorial consideration and peer review, thereby ensuring that the high standards the community has come to expect from the journal are maintained. In hybrid access journals, the editors of the journal will not be involved in correspondence with authors regarding payment of open access charges for their article. Instead, the author charge system will be administered by the publisher, OUP, only after manuscripts have been accepted for publication. In this way authors should be reassured that their ability to pay publication charges will not influence editorial decisions

    What is the difference between “Free content” and “Open access” content?

    Free content usually consists of editorial material such as tables of contents, covers, advertisements, etc.  These contents are not supported by article processing fees.

    Open access content is technical in nature, peer reviewed, supported by article processing fees, and available to all.

    What do the terms “green” and “gold” open access refer to?

    Green” open access'' refers to the practice of depositing a version of an article in a repository. Usually, that article version is freely accessible to the public. For example, if an author posts the accepted version of his or her NIH-funded article to PubMed Central, that article is said to be available through green open access.

    It allows authors to post the accepted (not final) version of their article to their website, employer’s website, or a repository specified by their funding agency. Authors may obtain the accepted version of their article.

    “Gold” open access refers to articles that are freely available in their final form. Most gold open access articles are supported by article processing charges (APCs), rather than through subscriptions. APCs may be paid by the author, the author’s institution, or a funding agency.

    Why should authors publish Open access journals?

    It supports all authors and readers globally. That means being able to offer any author a publication venue that is compliant with their circumstances, regardless of their funding status, the publishing mandates they may have in place, or where in the world they may work.

    An author may choose to publish in a traditional journal or in a fully open access journal.

    There are many benefits of publishing scholarly research. Some reasons why some authors may choose to publish their research through open access depend on the unique circumstances and goals of the individual author. These reasons could include:

    1. Get Published More QuicklyOpen access titles follow a rapid yet rigorous peer review process, enabling authors to accelerate the sharing of their work to a broad audience. with the capability to get published in a matter of weeks with select fully open access titles.
    2. Share Your Latest Research with a Wide Audience Increase exposure and quickly reach millions of global users through the free access to research available immediately to all users.
    3. Satisfy OA Publishing Requirements – Authors using government research funding or university consortium funding may be required to publish in OA journals. Many institutions also encourage their authors to publish OA, and some provide funds to help authors do so.
    4. Multidisciplinary Research Scope – A topic that is inclusive of multiple technologies may be considered out of scope for some journals but might be perfect for a multidisciplinary title.
