Open access journals

Committed to open research, we offer researchers, institutions and their funders the world’s most significant open access portfolio.

We publish nearly 600 fully open access journals in all disciplines – from the life sciences to the humanities. Authors also have the option to publish their article under an open access licence in more than 1,900 of our subscription-based journals.

Our portfolio focuses on robust and insightful research, supporting the development of new areas of knowledge and making ideas and information accessible around the globe.

Across our publishing imprints there are leading multidisciplinary and community-focused journals that offer rigorous, high-impact open access. Many of our titles are also published in partnership with academic societies, enabling them to achieve their own open research ambitions.

Information for institutions about ¹ú²úÂÒÂ×'s OA agreements

¹ú²úÂÒÂ× is committed to accelerating the adoption of open access (OA) publishing and open research techniques. Having early and rapid access to research findings is fundamental to the advancement of science and discovery. 

As the world’s largest OA publisher, we continue to lead the way in offering innovative solutions for authors, their institutions and funders to support OA adoption, from our first transformative Read and Publish agreement in 2015 to our first fully OA agreement in 2019 and the recently signed world's largest agreement with Projekt DEAL in Germany.
