How do I know if a journal is Open Select?
You can check quickly and easily by looking out for this indicator at the top of the journal home page on Taylor & Francis Online:
What do I need to do to publish my article OA in an Open Select journal?
Once you have submitted your paper it will go through rigorous peer review as normal. If the journal accepts it, you’ll receive an email inviting you to select a publishing license. This will include the option to make your article gold open access. It usually requires the payment of an APC.
How much is the Open Access article publishing charge (APC)?
APCs vary by journal and are subject to occasional special offers. Please check the instructions for authors on the journal’s web page to confirm the current APC. You can also find the standard APC for any Taylor & Francis journal by visiting our Article Publishing Charge Finder. Please note that these charges are exclusive of tax.
What are my options if I don’t want to pay the APC?
We also offer a green OA option on all our journals. More information on sharing your work is available on our Author Services website.
