Charges

Page charges

The page charges are $55 for each of the first 6 printed pages and then $85 for each subsequent printed page. The Editors, at their discretion, may waive these charges. Invited articles, correspondence, and articles published only in the electronic edition are exempt from page charges.

Color charges

Authors are charged for the print reproduction of color figures. The cost is $500/£265/€395 per page for the first printed page and then $400/£210/€315 for each subsequent printed page. Authors should state in their cover letter whether they will bear the cost of reproducing their color figures or whether they prefer to have them published in black and white at no additional cost.

Open Access option for authors

Authors have the option, at an additional charge, to make their paper freely available online immediately upon publication, under the Oxford Open initiative. After your manuscript is accepted, as part of the mandatory license form required of all corresponding authors, you will be asked to indicate whether or not you wish to pay to have your paper made freely available immediately. If you do not select the Open Access option, your paper will be published with standard subscription-based access and you will not be charged.

If you choose the Open Access option you can pay the Open Access charges using our Author Services site. This will enable you to pay online with a credit/debit card, or request an invoice by email or post. Open access charges can be viewed here in detail; discounted rates are available for authors based in some developing countries (click here for a list of qualifying countries).

Open Access charges are in addition to any page charges and color charges that might apply.
