Oxford Open Update

Optional open access
Author publication charges under the optional Oxford Open model, and a list of journals included in this model can be found at
http://www.oxfordjournals.org/oxfordopen/. We would like to remind you that the Journal of Experimental Botany operates a different model to other optional open access journals. Visit http://www.oxfordjournals.org/exbotj/open_access.html for more information.

2008 price adjustments
2008 online-only subscription prices for journals offering the optional Oxford Open model have been adjusted to reflect any increase in the amount of open access versus non-open access content published in each journal in 2006 compared to the amount in 2005. Generally, the more open access content published in a journal, the lower the future online-only price. However, this picture is sometimes complicated by other factors such as changes in page extent, issue frequency, and exchange rate adjustments.

Nucleic Acids Research's open access model
Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) will continue with a full "Open Access" (OA) publishing model in 2008. Institutions can choose to purchase institutional membership to the journal, which qualifies corresponding authors for discounted author publication charges. Print subscriptions are also available. Visit http://nar.oxfordjournals.org/openaccess/ for more information.

For Developing Countries Customers

Oxford Journals will continue to offer developing countries free (or greatly discounted) online access to many of our journals. Further information, including a list of countries that qualify for free or reduced access in 2008, can be found at http://www.oxfordjournals.org/access_purchase/developing_countries_list.html.

Please note that in 2008 we will be basing our list of qualifying countries on 2006 World Bank Reports (and in 2009, on 2007 World Bank Reports).

We also offer reduced print prices to some of our journals for developing countries as shown in our 2008 Institutional Price List.
