• Access is restricted to subscribers or pay-per-article
• Reuse permissions vary by journal
• Authors may deposit accepted versions (post-prints) in repositories, subject to embargo or journal-specific terms

4. Identifying Open Access Journals

Our Open Access journals are clearly marked by:

• An Open Access icon on the journal’s webpage and article pages
