Publish your articles as free Gold open access with the Institute of Physics

To Aston researchers/academics:

Great news - Aston has a new agreement with the Institute of Physics (IoP) which enables researchers to publish their work on a Gold open access basis, with a CC BY licence, at no additional cost in the majority of IoP’s hybrid journals (costs are now covered by the subscription fee).

All corresponding authors at Aston can publish in eligible journals as Gold open access without barriers, without additional cost, and be certain that they comply to any open access requirement. Research articles and reviews accepted for publication after 1 Jan 2020 are eligible, and IoP will automatically identify qualifying articles and inform authors of their inclusion.

Included in the agreement are all subscription journals, owned by IoP Publishing, which offer a hybrid open access option. In addition, the agreement also includes selected journals which are published by IoP on behalf of their society partners. Click for more information about the scheme and how to take advantage of it.

This great new publishing model from IoP is very similar to the SpringerCompact agreement which has been very well used.

Please contact openaccess@aston.ac.uk with any questions; we look forward to hearing about you using both schemes!
