Brill Announces New Suite of Open Access Journals
Leiden (NL) / Boston (MA) - 29 July 2014
Brill, the international scholarly publisher, announces a new suite of
open access journals covering four major disciplines.
In the Brill Open program, Brill is now announcing the launch of four
new full Open Access journals in the following disciplines:
Humanities, Social Sciences, Law, and Biology. These journals will
offer a pure open access environment. Each journal will be divided in
sections that align with the major subject areas in the discipline.
Each of the four new Brill Open journals will have a dedicated
editorial board and undergo the same rigorous peer review and uphold
the same high-quality publication standards that Brill is known for.
In addition, once accepted, papers will be published online in just
one month.
The Brill Open program makes research freely accessible online in
exchange for an Article Publication Charge (APC). This can be by
choice, or to comply with funding mandates or university requirements.
As a rule, APCs are not charged until a paper is accepted for
publication. In 2014 and 2015 the four new Open Access journals will
offer reduced APCs and waive all submission fees. View the APC details
here.
The journals are published on Brill’s existing books and journals
platform and are online only. The content and metadata will be
distributed as usual for indexing and discovery purposes.
Anyone who wants to get involved in one of the four new Open Access
journals as an author or reviewer, or as a section editor, is
requested to contact us at [log in to unmask] The new Brill Open
journals will open for submissions this August!
