Open publishing quota in Taylor & Francis journals has come to an end, but free open publishing continues

The agreement between FinELib and Taylor & Francis, allowing researchers at the University of Turku to publish their articles openly without additional fees, will end at the end of 2024. Negotiations for a new agreement for 2025 are under way. The current agreement has a limited number of open articles, and the article quota ran out last Friday (29th November).

Thanks to arrangements at the University of Turku, authors can still publish their articles open access in many Taylor & Francis journals free of charge even after this. According to current calculations, the funds allocated for this purpose may last until the end of the year, but there is no absolute certainty about that.

The publishing process for authors will function in the same way as before, and the right to open publishing applies to the same journals as in the FinELib agreement. When a corresponding author states their affiliation as the University of Turku, they will not be charged an APC fee for the article published OA. Taylor & Francis will notify the library by email that the author has chosen open access publishing, and the author's affiliation will be verified by the library. Please note that the agreement does not include all Taylor & Francis journals, e.g. most medical journals and Full OA journals are excluded.

The list of journals included can be found on the FinELib website.
