Open Access
Your choice of where you publish DOES make a difference
We encourage you to...
- Familiarize yourself with the Open Access publishing model
- Consider how your decision will limit or facilitate others' access to your research
- Make an informed decision about where to publish
Your choice could...
- Expand your presence — Open Access published work will be read by more professionals worldwide
- Enhance scholarship — your work may be important in unexpected and interdisciplinary research
- Reduce costs of scholarship — research libraries with limited budgets will be able to make your research available more rapidly
