Why open access

Free access to research supports a greater global exchange of knowledge, reaches readers in institutions and countries without subscriptions, and increases the visibility and impact of authors' work.

Costs

Readers never pay. Any publication charge for authors is shown on the publication fees page, together with the available waivers; the editorial decision never depends on whether a fee is paid.

Journal-specific terms

This journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
