Open Access for Societies

Partner with Taylor & Francis to make your society’s research openly available—your way. Choose flexible open access models (fully OA and hybrid), activate Read & Publish agreements, offer clear licensing and funding support, streamline policy compliance, and track real‑world impact with transparent reporting and analytics.

Models and Agreements

Fully OA and hybrid

Select the publishing model that fits your community. Launch or convert fully open access journals to maximize reach and reuse, or choose hybrid options that let authors publish OA in subscription journals while maintaining choice and financial stability.

Read & Publish (transformative) agreements

Expand access and simplify funding through Read & Publish agreements that combine reading access with OA publishing entitlements. Our growing network helps eligible authors publish OA with less friction while societies see wider dissemination and usage.

Licensing, Funding, and Inclusion

Clear Creative Commons licensing, practical funding routes, and equitable participation support ensure authors retain rights, readers gain reuse clarity, and cost barriers are reduced.

Licensing and author rights

Empower authors with clear Creative Commons options—such as CC BY—balancing openness with discipline‑specific needs. Transparent reuse permissions and retained rights help content travel further, drive citations, and support responsible knowledge sharing.

APC funding, waivers, and discounts

We help authors navigate article publishing charges with guidance on funder coverage, institutional entitlements, and discount or waiver programs. This support broadens participation and reduces cost barriers, especially for early‑career researchers and underfunded regions.

Equity, inclusion, and accessibility

We prioritize inclusive participation in OA—supporting accessible formats, language‑aware guidance, and fee assistance where possible—so more researchers can publish, read, and reuse findings regardless of background or resources.

Compliance, repositories, and workflows

Integrated systems guide compliant submissions, automate eligibility and licensing, and support repository deposit—embedding OA requirements seamlessly from submission to publication.

Policy and funder compliance

Stay confidently aligned with evolving mandates, including Plan S, NIH, UKRI, and institutional policies. From license selection to acknowledgments and data statements, our workflows, reminders, and checks keep submissions compliant without adding editorial burden.

Repository deposit and archiving

Make work discoverable wherever researchers search. We support repository deposit (including accepted manuscripts where permitted), ensure metadata quality, and integrate with archiving services—so OA articles are preserved, linkable, and easy to find.

Editorial workflows

OA is embedded end‑to‑end. Submission systems capture funding and license choices, eligibility is recognized automatically where agreements exist, and production processes deliver prompt, accurate publication with clear OA labeling and indexing.

Visibility and impact

Enhanced metadata, SEO, and targeted campaigns boost readership, while dashboards translate usage and citation data into actionable insights for continuous improvement.

Discoverability and marketing

We amplify OA content through enriched metadata, search engine optimization, subject‑specific campaigns, and indexing across leading databases. The result is higher visibility, more downloads, and better chances of real‑world application and citation.

Analytics, reporting, and transparency

Access dashboards and scheduled reports that track submissions, OA uptake, turnaround times, usage, citations, and agreement performance. Together, we set KPIs and turn insights into actions that improve reach, equity, and sustainability.

Integrity and open research

Strong peer review and ethics practices sit alongside open data and software citation—improving rigor, reproducibility, and trust in the scholarly record.

Research integrity and quality

Open does not mean lower standards. Robust peer review, similarity checks, and ethics oversight protect the scholarly record, while clear guidance helps editors and authors handle competing interests, data availability, and corrections confidently.

Open research options (data, code, and more).

Encourage transparency with data availability statements, software citation, and links to code and materials. Where appropriate, we support open peer review and preprint policies to accelerate verification and reuse.

Partnership Planning

We co‑design your OA roadmap and provide hands‑on support for editors and authors—aligning policies, processes, and training to deliver sustainable, society‑led open access.

Portfolio transition and strategy

Plan your OA journey at the journal or portfolio level. We model scenarios, assess readiness, and support phased transitions—aligning scope, funding, and audience goals to sustain quality and long‑term impact.

Support for editors and authors

From policy explainers and license guidance to eligibility checks and helpdesk support, we make OA simpler for everyone involved—authors, editors, reviewers, and society officers alike.
