Dear all,
IOP Publishing is pleased to announce that we are introducing an open
access publishing option on 23 of our subscription-based journals,
effective immediately. Authors will now be able to make the final versions
of their articles freely available upon publication. This hybrid open
access model was developed to support authors who want to publish on an
open access basis, or who are mandated to do so by their funding bodies.
Authors will be able to make their work open to everyone in perpetuity on
payment of an article publication fee.
Steven Hall, Managing Director of IOP Publishing, said of the new service,
?IOP was a pioneer in open access publishing, launching the New Journal of
Physics in 1998 in partnership with the Deutsche Physikalische
Gesellschaft and is now publishing seven pure open access journals. It is
a natural extension to introduce an open access option on our traditional
subscription journals. We want authors to be able to publish in their
journal of choice, regardless of business model. Gold open access can be
a sustainable complement or alternative to subscription publishing and we
will work with funding bodies which seek to disseminate their research in
this way.?
IOP Publishing will take revenue from article publication charges fully
into account when setting prices for our subscription journals, to ensure
that publication costs are not paid twice, through both subscription and
publication charges.
The 23 IOP-owned titles which will now offer the hybrid open-access option
include the Journal of Physicsseries, Classical and Quantum Gravity and
Nanotechnology. We are currently in discussions with our partners on the
possibility of introducing the hybrid option on co-published journals.
