Find out how to publish your

article with a pre-paid APC

Emerald understands that ‘Open’ means more than just open access, it is also about extending the reach and impact of research beyond academia, making it accessible, digestible and discoverable.

With this in mind we created our open access programme Emerald Reach. The programme provides the broadest range of open access publishing models for authors including journals, books and our newly developed open access platform Emerald Open Research.

Key features of Emerald’s open access programme:

• In line with RoMEO green our Green Open Access route offers all Emerald journal authors the option to make their research openly available, free from payment and embargo periods. This means if you are mandated to make your work open access but have no funds for an APC you can deposit the author accepted manuscript of your article into a subject or institutional repository and your funder’s research catalogue as soon as your work is published.

• If you have funds for an Article Processing Charge (APC) or a pre-paid institutional APC, you have the choice to publish your article within our journals or on Emerald Open Research, a new open access platform that supports rapid publication, an open peer review process and open data policy.

• All research published through the Gold Open Access route will be open access under a Creative Commons (CC BY) License allowing your work to be distributed and reproduced, providing that the original author and source are credited.
