How will you ensure that the payment for publication charges by authors has no influence on whether an article is accepted for publication in an Oxford Open journal?
All manuscripts submitted to journals participating in the Oxford Open initiative will continue to be subject to the same rigorous process of editorial consideration and peer review, thereby ensuring that the high standards the community has come to expect from the journal are maintained. Under the Oxford Open model, the Editors of the journal will not be involved in correspondence with authors regarding payment of Open Access charges for their article. Instead, the author charge system will be administered by the publisher, Oxford Journals, once manuscripts have been accepted for publication. In this way authors should be reassured that their ability to pay publication charges will not influence editorial decisions.
