[Moderator's note: this message has been edited slightly to conform to SERIALST guidelines] Subject: 31 New Journals Added to T&F's iOpenAccess Option From: "Bell, Ashleigh" <Ashleigh.Bell@tandf.co.uk> Date: Thu, 4 Oct 2007 13:23:45 +0100 To: SERIALST Apologies for cross posting. October 2007 Taylor & Francis is delighted to announce that its "iOpenAccess" option has been extended to cover 31 journals in environmental and agricultural sciences, behavioural sciences and development studies. This is in addition to the 175 journals from T&F's Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics portfolios, 7 behavioural science journals from Psychology Press, and medical and bioscience journals from Informa Healthcare. From today, all authors whose manuscripts are accepted for publication in one of these iOpenAccess journals will have the option to make their articles available to all via the Journal's website, and to post to repositories, for a one-off fee. Commenting on the expansion of the initiative, Journals Publishing Director, Dr David Green, stated: "Taylor & Francis continues to have a strong tradition of meeting the needs of the academic and scientific research communities. Due to demand within certain author communities we are extending iOpenAccess availability. Author take-up thus far has been mainly in the biomedical and psychology fields, but authors whose research is supported by certain funders do require this option to be available." We undertake to review the subscription prices of each journal with respect to the uptake of the iOpenAccess initiative, and the relevant information will be published at www.informaworld.com. The assessment of the first group of iOpenAccces titles will take place in early 2008. Our continuing commitment to stringent, independent, expert peer review remains: only accepted articles are eligible for the scheme, and authors will only be offered the open access option when they are sent their proofs for review. This complete separation of payment from the peer review and acceptance process will ensure that editorial independence and quality are not compromised.
