Open Access Instruction
Open research isn't just the future of research communications; it's the here and now.
Open Access helping researchers share their work with the world. By removing the barriers to published research, open access makes research findings available to everyone – driving forward the pace and strength of global innovation and invention.
We believe that progress happens faster when research is open, transparent, verifiable and reproducible. By removing access barriers, open research findings are available to everyone, driving knowledge, discovery and invention on a global scale.
Our commitment to innovation is underpinned by our three Pillars of Open Research, which offer you the best possible publishing experience for your research and data: Open Access, Open Data and Open Practices.
-
Open Access
Helping researchers share their work with the world. By removing the barriers to published research, open access makes research findings available to everyone – driving forward the pace and strength of global innovation and invention.
Open access articles are freely available to read, download and share. There are a number of ways you can make your research open access with us – for details about our open access options here. -
Open Data
Maximizing the value of research. Open data means sharing data and is made more meaningful by the term "FAIR" i.e. data that is findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable). Being more open with data means you can analyze other researcher's findings and reuse it to inform new findings, and the research landscape becomes more efficient and accountable.
You will benefit from making your research data openly available too. More transparent data helps reviewers see how researchers went from data to analysis and provide nuanced feedback based on their own understanding of the data. When researchers make their data open, they are showing the world they are working transparently and reproducibly, building a strong reputation that will help them throughout their professional life, encouraging reuse and citation. -
Open Practices
Focusing on transparency, collaboration, and recognition and reward in research.
Sharing how and why we make decisions, holds us accountable for our actions and builds trust within our communities. In addition to creating greater openness of research, we are increasing transparency throughout the publishing process, producing results that others can build on.
