Academic publisher Oxford University Press (OUP), UK, has announced that the 100th journal has now joined its Oxford Open initiative. The Journal of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Infectious Diseases, which are to be published by OUP on behalf of the Infectious Diseases Society of America from 2011, have become the 100th and 101st journals to participate.
OUP launched Oxford Open in July 2005 with 24 journals. Over the past five years the programme has grown to include six 'gold' fully-open access titles, including Nucleic Acids Research, and 95 optional-open access titles, which allow authors to pay an open access publication charge to make their paper freely available online immediately. Authors also have their papers automatically deposited and made publicly available in PubMed Central by OUP.
Oxford Open includes titles from the full range of subjects published by OUP, including life sciences, medicine, law, humanities, maths, and social sciences. OUP also supports 'green' OA by allowing authors to deposit their 'accepted' manuscripts in institutional or subject repositories after a specified time period (dependent on individual journal policy).
