Oxford Open - Open Access

Articles published under our Oxford Open - Open Access model are clearly labeled, and made freely available online immediately upon publication, without subscription barriers to access. In addition, the majority of articles that are made available under Oxford Open, will also allow readers to reuse, republish, and distribute the article in a variety of ways, depending upon the license used. Further detail on Oxford Open and the activities permitted under our Open Access licenses.

STM permissions guidelines & signatories

A key part of our efforts to minimize the administration that is often involved in permission clearances while ensuring that any re-use of limited amounts of content from our journals is fair and the original source of the material fully attributed. It should be emphasized here that these are just guidelines (further information).
