How will you ensure that the payment of publication charges by authors has no influence on whether an article is accepted for publication in NAR?
All manuscripts submitted to NAR 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 Open Access model, the Editors of the journal will not be involved in correspondence with authors regarding payment of publication charges for their article. Instead, the author charge system will be administered by the publisher, Oxford University Press, once manuscripts have been accepted for publication. Contributors who choose to complete the waiver application form will be asked to submit the form directly to OUP after acceptance. In this way authors should be reassured that their ability to pay publication charges will not influence editorial decisions.
