Make your article open access in hybrid journals
By removing the barriers to published research, open access makes your research findings available to everyone. Open access articles are freely available to read, download, and share.
Most of our subscription-based journals offer a hybrid open access option, allowing you to publish openly in your journal of choice.
How to select open access
Once your article is accepted, the corresponding author can select the open access option from the Author Services Dashboard. For step-by-step instructions, visit our How to Order Hybrid Open Access page.
Your article will be made open access immediately upon publication after completing this request. The open access icon and Creative Commons license signals to readers that the content is freely available to read, download, and share. Learn more about the benefits of publishing open access here.
Publication Fee

With hybrid open access, the author, institution or funder pays an Article Publication Charge (APC) for the article to be open access. APC amounts vary by journal. |
Learn if your funder or institution will cover the APC by visiting our Author Compliance Tool and Institutional Payments pages to find out more.
