For Authors
Open Access and Cambridge JournalsIntroductionCambridge is keen to offer its Authors and Readers as many options as possible when it comes to publishing content. Our standard copyright forms allow Open Access Archiving (for instance posting the Accepted Manuscript in an Institutional Repository or on a personal webpage). Authors can also choose to publish Open Access (making articles freely available for non-commercial use) in a large number of our Journals by using Cambridge Open Option. A number of funding agencies and institutions now mandate Open Access publication of work which they support. We are fully compliant with the requirements of NIH, The Wellcome Trust, UKRC, HHMI and many others. For more details please click here. SHERPA RoMEO is a listing of publishers' policies towards Open Access Archiving, with publishers ranked by colour depending on the rights they grant to authors. We support both Gold and Green Open Access (for more information on these terms please visit the SHERPA RoMEO site). Gold Open Access is supported via Cambridge Open Option. Green Open Access is covered by the vast majority of our standard Copyright forms which automatically allow our authors to archive their articles in institutional repositories, on personal webpages and in subject repositories such as PubMedCentral. Click here for more information about our copyright forms. Cambridge Open Option Cambridge Open Option is a scheme whereby authors, for a one off charge, can make their article freely available to everyone on publication and reflects Cambridge's commitment to further the dissemination of published academic information. For a full list of participating journals please see below. If the Journal you would like to publish in is not listed we may still be able to offer this option. Please contact the Journal Editor for more information. Cambridge is committed to wide dissemination of work published in its Journals. To this end we support a number of schemes allowing free, or discounted, access to our Journals in developing countries. We participate in the AGORA, HINARI, OARE and INASP initiatives, as well as the Association of Commonwealth Universities and the Eastern and Central Europe Journals Donation Projects.

How to comply with Cambridge Journals
For a more detailed explanation of our policies on Open Access Archiving please see below Return to Top Open Access Archive PolicyCambridge University Press’s Policy on Open Access Archiving
As an author, did you know that most Cambridge journals allow you to archive a copy of your accepted manuscript in a variety of places, including your personal web site, and your institution’s repository? In addition, you have the right to deposit a copy in a subject-based repository, such as PubMedCentral. See a more-detailed explanation of these rights
If you are funded by NIH, The Wellcome Trust, UKRC, HHMI and many other agencies, you will be pleased to know that Cambridge Journals’ policies are fully compliant with the respective requirements of these organisations. As a result of these and other rights Cambridge is listed as a ‘Green’ publisher in the SHERPA/RoMEO database of publishers’ copyright policies and self-archiving (see further details). A summary of these conditions (from the SHERPA/RoMEO site) follows. Authors retain the following rights and conditions (as detailed on SHERPA/RoMEO website):
If funding agency rules apply, authors may post articles in PubMed Central 12 months after publication or use Cambridge Open Option. If you prefer to take up the Cambridge Open Option by publishing your article immediately as Open Access, Cambridge offers this on payment of a one-off charge. Most funders permit this as an allowable cost within grants. Check your funder’s policies for details. See further information on the Cambridge Open Option. Return to Top Copyright and Institutional RepositoriesAll contributors retain the following non-transferable rights: • The right to post either their own version of their contribution as submitted to the journal (prior to revision arising from peer review and prior to editorial input by Cambridge University Press) or their own final version of their contribution as accepted for publication (subsequent to revision arising from peer review but still prior to editorial input by Cambridge University Press) on their personal or departmental web page, or in the Institutional Repository of the institution in which they worked at the time the paper was first submitted, or (for appropriate journals) in PubMed Central or UK PubMed Central, provided the posting is accompanied by a prominent statement that the paper has been accepted for publication and will appear in a revised form, subsequent to peer review and/or editorial input by Cambridge University Press, in [journal title] published by Cambridge University Press, together with a copyright notice in the name of the copyright holder (Cambridge University Press or the sponsoring Society, as appropriate). On publication the full bibliographical details of the paper (volume: issue number (date), page numbers) must be inserted after the journal title, along with a link to the Cambridge website address for the journal. Inclusion of this version of the paper in Institutional Repositories outside of the institution in which the contributor worked at the time the paper was first submitted will be subject to the additional permission of Cambridge University Press (not to be unreasonably withheld).• The right to post the definitive version of the contribution as published at Cambridge Journals Online (in PDF or HTML form) on their personal or departmental web page, no sooner than upon its appearance at Cambridge Journals Online, subject to file availability and provided the posting includes a prominent statement of the full bibliographical details, a copyright notice in the name of the copyright holder (Cambridge University Press or the sponsoring Society, as appropriate), and a link to the online edition of the journal at Cambridge Journals Online. • The right to post the definitive version of the contribution as published at Cambridge Journals Online (in PDF or HTML form) in the Institutional Repository of the institution in which they worked at the time the paper was first submitted, or (for appropriate journals) in PubMedCentral or UK PubMedCentral, no sooner than one year after first publication of the paper in the journal, subject to file availability and provided the posting includes a prominent statement of the full bibliographical details, a copyright notice in the name of the copyright holder (Cambridge University Press or the sponsoring Society, as appropriate), and a link to the online edition of the journal at Cambridge Journals Online. Inclusion of this definitive version after one year in Institutional Repositories outside of the institution in which the contributor worked at the time the paper was first submitted will be subject to the additional permission of Cambridge University Press (not to be unreasonably withheld). • The right to post an abstract of the contribution (for appropriate journals) on the Social Science Research Network (SSRN), provided the abstract is accompanied by a prominent statement that the full contribution appears in [journal title]published by Cambridge University Press, together with full bibliographical details, a copyright notice in the name of the journal’s copyright holder (Cambridge University Press or the sponsoring Society, as appropriate), and a link to the online edition of the journal at Cambridge Journals Online. • The right to make hard copies of the contribution or an adapted version for their own purposes, including the right to make multiple copies for course use by their students, provided no sale is involved. • The right to reproduce the paper or an adapted version of it in any volume of which they are editor or author. Permission will automatically be given to the publisher of such a volume, subject to normal acknowledgement. Return to Top Cambridge Open OptionCambridge University Press now allows authors the option to make their articles freely available to everyone, immediately on publication. This new service reflects Cambridge's commitment to further the dissemination of published academic information. By making articles freely available to anyone, this initiative will achieve several goals: 1. Users will have access to the full article, without access restriction, and may download a PDF copy for their own personal, non-commercial use. 2. Freely available articles will maximise the dissemination of knowledge, and further research goals by providing that knowledge to all interested parties. 3. The Cambridge Open Option will test the viability of Open Access Publishing as a model that is sustainable for everyone in the long term. 4. By publishing Open Access articles, Cambridge will collect valuable usage data in order to evaluate the effects of Open Access Publishing on user behaviour. 5. Authors who choose to pay to make their articles freely available will continue to receive the benefits of publishing in Cambridge Journals they already experience; the same high standards of publishing will be unchanged. All articles will continue to be handled in the same way with peer-review, professional production and online distribution in Cambridge Journals Online. Articles will be included in the relevant Abstracting & Indexing services, and can have supplementary content (text, video or audio) added to their online versions. Cambridge Open Option - How it Works Once their paper has been accepted for publication, authors can choose whether or not to make it freely available to everyone on publication via our online platform, Cambridge Journals Online. In this way, all of the editorial decision processes are maintained in a neutral way. The journal's editor and reviewers will not know that the paper is to be included in the program. Papers will continue to be made available in both print and online versions; the only difference is that Open Access articles will be freely available online. Anyone with internet links will be able to read the Open Access articles without charge. All Cambridge asks in order to provide this service is that the author, or their institution or funding body, pays a fee to cover costs associated with the publication process, from peer-review of the submitted manuscript, through the copy-editing and typesetting, to online-hosting of the definitive version of the published article. If colour is desired to be included in the printed version, a separate colour charge would apply, as is the case normally. The single Open Access Publishing charge will ensure permanent archiving by both Cambridge University Press and the author, and allows anyone else to view, search, download archive for personal and non-commercial use. The only condition for this is that the author and original source are properly acknowledged. Cambridge Open Open FAQs1. Which journals are included in the initiative? A number of titles across a range of disciplines are included in the initial collection. If the Journal you are interested in is not listed below please contact the Editor, as other Journals may be able to offer Cambridge Open Option.
2. What is the charge? The charge that will be applied for each article is £1500 / $2700. This is calculated in order to cover the costs associated with the publication process, from peer-review of the submitted manuscript, through the copy-editing and typesetting, to online-hosting of the definitive version of the published article. The costs associated with producing printed issues are not included. 3. When do I have to decide to make my article Open Access? You may make this decision at any time; we ask only that you inform the Editor of the journal at the time your article is accepted. You will be given this option at that time. 4. How will readers know which articles are Open Access? In the tables of contents in the online and print versions of the journal each Open Access article is clearly labelled as such. Readers need only click the link to gain full access. 5. Do other charges (page, colour) apply in addition to the OA charge? These charges apply only for the printed issues, depending on whether or not the journal applies them. 6. How will the Open Access articles affect subscription prices? The Cambridge Open Option is an ongoing experiment, to test the interest of our authors in adopting the Open Access Publishing model. The uptake will be monitored and future subscription prices will be modified to take into account the level of interest and uptake in this model. Return to Top Open Access Glossary
