INTRODUCTION

Oxford Journals operates two different open access Models:

• An optional open access model (Oxford Open) for over 90 journals. See here for a list of these.
• Fully open access journals are AoB Plants, Bioscience Horizons, Database, DNA Research, Genome Biology and Evolution, Journal of Legal Analysis, Journal of Radiation Research and NAR

OVERVIEW OF OPTIONAL OXFORD OPEN

Through this initiative, authors of accepted papers will be given the option of paying an open access publication charge to make their paper freely available online immediately via the journal website, meaning that readers will not need a journal subscription to view open access content. If an author does not choose to pay the open access publication charge, their paper will be published in the normal manner, but it will not be made freely available online immediately. Therefore there will be a mixture of non-open access and open access original research papers within each journal. Open access articles will be clearly indicated on the online journal's contents page.

In order to view the non-open access content in participating journals, a current subscription to the journal will be required. Online, print and combined subscription options will continue to be available to institutions. The amount of open access content in each journal is regularly analysed, and this will impact the future online subscription prices - generally speaking, the more open access content published in a journal, the lower the future online subscription prices will be.

This optional open access initiative is in addition to our fully open access journals detailed above.

NB Payment of the open access charge will be required from all authors who have selected the open access option at the time of their article being published online.
