Dear Michael,
We have not yet posted the Terms & Conditions relating specifically to
Taylor & Francis Open and Open Select online. These will be available
in early January. I am currently out of the office for the Christmas
break, so if you have further queries about these new initiatives,
please contact me directly at [log in to unmask], and I
will respond in the New Year.
With best wishes,
Jennifer McMillan,

Dear Jennifer,
Thanks for the news, but I'm afraid your press release is misleading
and should be corrected. You say that T&F is now publishing " fully
Open Access journals", but unless I've misread the licensing
arrangements this simply is not the case. A fully open access journal
is one that publishes on the web without delay *and* which gives
readers the full set of reuse rights conditioned only on the
requirement that users provide proper attribution.

T&F's "Open" program and "Open Select" offer pseudo open access.
Could you please explain why T&F needs to reserve substantial reuse
rights after the author or her funder has paid for the costs of
publication?
If your response is that the article processing charge does not
represent the full cost of publication, what charge would? Why aren't
authors given the option to purchase full open access?
Thanks,
Mike

The New Year sees the launch of an exciting range of Open Access options
from Taylor & Francis via the Taylor & Francis Open program. This new
initiative is designed to give authors and their sponsors flexibility
and variety when they choose to publish research with Taylor & Francis.
The Taylor & Francis Open program is a suite of fully Open Access
journals consisting of brand new titles, dynamic titles from T&F's
existing portfolio which are converting to OA, and titles published on
behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand and the Human Sciences
Research Council, South Africa. Many of the titles in this program will
collaborate with leading journals within T&F's existing portfolio,
providing input and support from learned societies and
internationally-acclaimed editors to ensure their calibre.
Taylor & Francis Open journals will have affordable article publication
fees, with discounts or fee waivers for emergent countries. Authors will
benefit from rapid online publication, rigorous peer review and the high
levels of customer care Taylor & Francis provides to all authors. Their
finished article will be showcased on Taylor & Francis Online, helping
them to gain recognition and esteem for their contribution to their
field.
Taylor & Francis can confirm the following titles will be included in
Taylor & Francis Open, with more to join in the New Year:
Complex Metals
Green Chemistry Letters and Reviews
International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials
Journal of Biological Dynamics
Journal of Organic Semiconductors
Kotuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online - published on
behalf of the Royal Society of New Zealand
Nanoscience Methods
SAHARA-J: Journal of Social Aspects of HIV/AIDS - published on behalf of
the Human Sciences Research Council
Systems Science & Control Engineering
Dr David Green, Global Journals Publishing Director, sums up Taylor &
Francis' new approaches to Open Access, "Taylor & Francis is committed
to producing high-calibre journals that showcase quality global
research. We believe that this content should be widely disseminated and
are now exploring various Open Access models to enable universal access
in ways that are sustainable and meet the needs of the academic and
research communities. Over the past three years society journals have
been partnering with Taylor & Francis Group at the rate of more than one
per week, and, if required, we are now able to offer a potential partner
a range of Open Access models".
Taylor & Francis will also continue to offer Taylor & Francis Open
Select, which is a hybrid program giving authors the choice to publish
on an Open Access basis in over 500 titles from across Taylor & Francis
Group's extensive portfolio.
