Press Release | December 2011 |

Articles published in a Taylor & Francis Open journal benefit from our editorial, production, and marketing expertise, and are permanently available online immediately on publication to anyone, anywhere, at any time.

How do I benefit?
Publishing in a Taylor & Francis Open journal ensures:

• rigorous, fast peer review
• accelerated online publication
• immediate, universal access to your article on publication
• high visibility and discoverability via Taylor & Francis Online
• global marketing and publicity for your article
• input from and dialog with expert editors and editorial boards
• networking via research forums
• guaranteed legacy preservation of your article
• retention of copyright
• unrestrictive publishing agreements allowing non-commercial reuse
• deposit into subject repositories including PubMed Central on your behalf

How much does it cost?
For authors publishing in a Taylor & Francis Open journal, fees are detailed in the submission instructions for each journal. Discounted introductory fees are available for the launch year.

It is likely that your research funder, sponsor, or host institution has funding available for open access publication fees.

See Taylor & Francis Open Select for fee details if you want to make a single article open access in a subscription-based title offering this option.

How do I pay?
The fee is paid via an e-commerce transaction and invoicing will take place on acceptance of the article after peer review. Payment can be made via credit card, or an invoice can be requested. Further processing of the article will be deferred pending payment.

Are any taxes applicable?
Authors resident in any of the countries of the European Union have to add UK Value-Added Tax (VAT, currently 20%). Institutions outside the UK paying the fee on behalf of the author and who provide their VAT registration number will not be charged UK VAT.

Can the open access publication fee be discounted or waived?
Fee waivers and discounts are available to support researchers in developing and emerging regions unable to pay a publication fee. Authors are eligible to apply for a full or partial waiver of the fee if they are based in countries classified by the World Bank (2010) as low-income or lower-middle-income economies.
See Taylor & Francis Open journal-specific information for details of any other fee discounts that may apply.

Under what form of license is the article published?
You will be asked to grant Taylor & Francis a license to publish your article as the final, definitive, and citable version of scholarly record. In turn, Taylor & Francis will make your article in its entirety freely available on Taylor & Francis Group's online platform Taylor & Francis Online immediately on publication, with no subscription fee or article pay-to-view fee, or any other form of access fee or any publication embargo being applied, in perpetuity.

What restrictions on reuse apply?
For non-commercial purposes only, users may access, download, copy, display, and redistribute the Taylor & Francis Open article as well as adapt, translate, text- and data-mine content contained in the article, subject to the following conditions:

• Your moral right to the integrity of your work is not compromised, and attribution to you guaranteed.
• Where content in the article is identified as belonging to a third party, it is the obligation of the user to ensure that any reuse complies with copyright policies of the owner.
• If article content is copied, downloaded, or otherwise reused for non-commercial research and educational purposes, a link to the appropriate bibliographic citation (authors, journal, article title, volume, issue, page numbers, DOI, and the link to the definitive published version on www.tandfonline.com) must be maintained, and all copyright notices and disclaimers must not be deleted.

The use of your Taylor & Francis Open article for commercial purposes is strictly prohibited.

Under what circumstances are refunds made?
If, before publication, Taylor & Francis reasonably considers that the article should not be published, on the advice of our legal counsel, we may decline to publish the article, in which case we would refund the open access article publishing fee.

If, after publication, Taylor & Francis reasonably considers that the article should be retracted or removed from our website, for example, because of a breach in author warranties, we may retract and withdraw it, and in such case will be under no obligation to refund the open access article publishing fee.
