What should I do to make my research open access?
You need to let us know that you would like to be considered for open access publication. To do this, once you have received your Author Publishing Agreement and confirmed your personal details, you simply need to select that you would like to be funded through your open access agreement, which you will see as you move through the process. Once you have signed the agreement, your institution will be notified of your request. If your request is approved you will receive an email asking you to select the Creative Commons license of your choice – find out about Creative Commons licenses.
What are the requirements of the CISC open access agreement?
To be eligible, articles must:
- Be original research articles. Other types of paper, such as Editorials, Announcements, and Book Reviews, are not covered by this agreement.
- Be accepted for publication after 1 January 2024.
- Have a corresponding author affiliated with the CSIC.
Which journals can I publish in open access under this agreement?
Over 2000 Taylor & Francis and Routledge Open Select (Hybrid) journals are part of this agreement. Only those titles with the highest article publishing charges and subscription-only journals are excluded. Please speak to your librarian to check whether the journal you are submitting to is covered by this agreement.
Is there a limit to the number of articles that can be published under this open access agreement?
Yes, the Spanish National Research Council and Taylor & Francis have agreed a maximum number of open access articles to be published for each year of this partnership for Open Select journals. Please be aware that these limits might therefore be reached before the end of a year, at which point open access publishing elements of the agreement will be paused until the beginning of the following year.
