Maney Publishing is pleased to announce the introduction of a new open
access (OA) business model, MORE OpenChoice. Twenty-four materials
science and engineering journals and fifteen health science titles are
initially included in MORE OpenChoice, with the intention to expand this
to humanities journals in the future.
MORE OpenChoice represents a new business model which will co-exist with
Maney's traditional subscription business in disciplines where funding
agencies require their research work to be put in the public domain.
MORE OpenChoice has been developed in response to the changing
requirements of customers. In a dynamic business and with the exciting
prospects that digitization of content brings, this is just one of
several initiatives being introduced to ensure that Maney continues to
attract the best research which when published achieves the maximum
impact. MORE OpenChoice papers will provide additional momentum in
optimizing dissemination of, and access to, research in specific
disciplines and in particular parts of the world.
Gaynor Redvers-Mutton, Business Development Manager at Maney Publishing,
is leading the open access project: 'We have priced our article charge
competitively to help to stimulate the OA market and offer our authors
real choice. Our easy and straightforward service for MORE OpenChoice
papers will neither favour nor prejudice papers that opt for open access
publication. The standards applied through peer-review will be applied
uniformly and the published output in all our journals will be of the
same high quality.'
Full details of Maney's OA model are available on the website at
