Journal authors may choose to publish their work using our Open Access service.
Your Open Access work:
- may be viewed for free by anyone with an internet connection anywhere in the world
- may be used, copied and transmitted for non-commercial purposes by anyone subject to acknowledgement of the author and journal
- may be augmented with accessory material (additional files including text, sound and images)
- will be registered with CrossRef and will be uploaded to the appropriate abstracting and indexing services
- will appear in all available versions (electronic, paper) of the journal, and will be marked as Open Access
Choosing Open Access:
- does not influence peer review - you choose Open Access only after your work is accepted for publication
- does not affect editorial decisions - you will still receive expert editorial advice to improve your work
- does not change the way your work is handled through production phases - you will still enjoy our excellent professional service
You will be notified of the option to choose Open Access when your work is accepted. You will be asked to make your choice at the proof stage.
