What does this open access agreement mean for authors?
When an article is published gold open access, the final published version (or Version of Record) is permanently and freely available online.

Corresponding authors at participating institutions may publish their article gold open access with a fully funded Article Publishing Charge (APC). Authors will be able to choose to publish open access if their article is accepted to the journal following peer-review.

Which journals are covered by this agreement?
All Open Select (hybrid) journals are included for publishing in this agreement. Any journal with an APC of £3000 or more has a more limited article cap of 1.56% of the total annual article cap. We will monitor this and let you know if this comes close to being reached. Fully Open Access titles are not included. If you would like to discuss setting up centralised funding for Fully Open Access titles, do get in touch with [email protected], who will be able to discuss the options available.

How will authors know if their article has been approved for open access publication?
