Thinking of publishing your next article with open access?

The key benefits of publishing OA are visibility and impact. Greater visibility can result in increased readership and citations of your research. Academic publishers like Taylor & Francis (T&F) offer a range of options to support OA.

While preparing for publishing articles in OA journals, researchers can review OA Publishing Guide to understand the OA options and use the Open Access Cost Finder to check the Article Publishing Charge (APC) across all relevant journals as reference.
