Academic publisher Taylor & Francis has announced that more than 1,650 of its journals now comply with The Wellcome Trust and RCUK's open access (OA) policies that came into effect on April 1, 2013. Over 500 of these journals are published on behalf of society partners.
The publisher is encouraging funded authors to publish their materials in these quality journals on an open access basis, either via Gold or Green OA routes to compliance.
A list of all Taylor & Francis and Routledge journals with notes on compliance can be found online by visiting http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/permissions/Green-OA-AAM-embargo-periods.pdf.
Additionally, Taylor & Francis has also announced a number of updates to the Open Access section of its Author Services site (http://journalauthors.tandf.co.uk/preparation/OpenAccess.asp) and their platform (http://www.tandfonline.com/page/openaccess), providing information to help guide researchers through the options available to them, should they wish to publish their work on an open access basis.
RCUK-funded researchers from the Universities of Birmingham, Cardiff, Durham, Glasgow, Leeds, Sheffield and Strathclyde are eligible to have their article publishing charge (APC) covered by their institution's pre-payment scheme, or may be entitled to a discount on the APC.
