TheScientificWorldJOURNAL has
adopted a policy that gives authors a choice:
|
|
|
|
- A choice for free publication
in TheScientificWorldJOURNAL. Scientists, whose research
grants or institutions cannot support article fees, will
continue to be able to submit their work for peer-review
and publication at no charge. These articles are available
through licenses to laboratories, departments, institutes
and campuses, as well as individually through article delivery.
- A choice to publish articles with
open access. Authors are required to pay
an Article Fee to cover partially the costs associated with
administering peer-review, copy-editing and article production,
distribution and indexing. These articles are made free
of charge to all users of TheScientificWorldJOURNAL's website.
|
|
| Whichever publication
route is chosen, the application of TheScientificWorldJOURNAL's
scientific standards is equally rigorous; to guarantee impartiality,
referees will have no knowledge of the author's publication
choice during peer-review. |
|
|
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
| |
|
- Articles published are made available
on an open access, free of charge basis through TheScientificWorldJOURNAL's
website.
- ALL visitors have access to the full
text of the article, and may download a PDF version for
their personal and non-commercial use.TSW Open Access papers are more widely read than other papers.
- Open Choice is available on all article
types, including review articles, research articles and
protocol articles.
- Articles published under the Open Choice
scheme are flagged in TheScientificWorldJOURNAL's Tables
of Contents with an open access icon.
- Citations and abstracts of Open Choice
articles will be made available to emerging indexes of open
access articles, as well as current abstracting and indexing
services (including PubMed's MEDLINE and TOXLINE databases).
- By balancing partial payment of costs
through Open Choice with continued access through licenses
and subscriptions, we are aiming to keep all prices lower.
- Institutions may take out an Open Access
Waiver on behalf of their researchers to reduce costs. This
means that affiliated researchers can publish unlimited
numbers of articles within TheScientificWorldJOURNAL for
highly cost-effective open access publishing.

|
|
|
| All authors of
TheScientificWorldJOURNAL will be given the option to publish
with open access through this new policy. Invoices will be issued
upon acceptance of an article for publication and authors may
elect to pay. If authors decline to pay for open access then
those articles will only be available through license or by
single article purchase. |
|
|
|
| Authors of all
other publications of TheScientificWorld, including eBooks,
may also opt for TSW's Open Choice author services. |
|
|
|
|
| |
|
| Institutions may
take out an Open Access Waiver on behalf of their researchers.
This entitles researchers at subscribing institutes to publish
unlimited numbers of open access articles within TheScientificWorldJOURNAL.
