The CC BY license allows for maximum dissemination and re-use of open access materials and is preferred by many research funding bodies.

Benefits of open access

Open access publication can lead to:

• Increased citation and usage
• Greater public engagement
• Faster impact
• Broader collaboration
• Increased interdisciplinary interaction 

 

As costs are involved in every stage of the publication process, from peer review to copy editing and hosting the final article on dedicated servers, authors will be asked to pay an article processing charge (APC) in order for their article to be published open access, without access control. By paying the one-off APC, authors can post the final, published PDF of their article on a web site, institutional repository or other free public server, immediately on publication.
