Open Access options vary from publisher to publisher but can also differ between journals from the same publisher. Journals are generally of two types:
Look at our publisher deals to see which journals are already funded for OA publishing.
The Open Policy finder from JISC can help you make a decision aout which journal to submit your article to, and the OA choices available.
All CDS staff must ensure that their papers/presentations are approved in advance of publication using the Permission to Publish process.
Important:: wherever you choose to publish, as soon as you receive confirmation that your work is going to be published, send the acceptance email, and the Author accepted manuscript (AAM) if you are publishing via the Green route, to researchsupport@cranfield.ac.uk so we can deposit it in CRIS/CERES for you.
Be careful!
Some authors may feel pressured to explore other routes to OA, such as using vanity, self- or on-demand publishing. Some of these businesses are legitimate but some aren’t, so if you are approached directly by a publisher, check our guidelines on how to avoid predatory publishers.
