Open Access Journals

How to publish your article Open Access

If you want or need to make the Version of Record of your article available through Open Access because of funder requirements, this can be arranged through payment of a fee (Article Publication Charge). This option is also available for previously published articles. The Version of Record is the version prepared and published by the publisher, on the basis of the final version of your manuscript (the 'Author Accepted Manuscript'). 

We prefer to use the CC BY-NC license, but it is also possible to use the CC BY license (or other) if that is preferred by the author, or mandated by their institution/funder.

The article publication charge is EUR 1800 (excl. VAT/tax). For articles that were published in an issue more than 12 months ago, a discount applies. Please contact us at openaccessbenjamins.nl to discuss the details, providing information on the article (title, authors, journal).

Read & Publish deals/Transformative agreements

Corresponding authors from institutions with which we have a Read & Publish arrangement can publish Open Access in our journals without paying the fee. For more information on the institutions and the requirements, see this  list of Read & Publish deals.

All journal articles that enter our production workflow — after acceptance by the journal — are automatically checked to see if the institution of the corresponding author is participating in a Read & Publish arrangement with us, and if the article was submitted to the journal after the start of that arrangement. If so, we will automatically arrange for Open Access publication. The author(s) will see this in the proofs of the article, where Open Access information will be added in the footer and the funding section. Please make sure that the information on the (single) corresponding author is correct when submitting the final version for production, or at the very latest when you return the proofs to us; after publication, it is not possible to change the corresponding author in order to make the article fall under an agreement retrospectively.

By default we apply the CC BY license; at the request of the author, another license can be considered.
