Publisher Open Access Agreements

Queen Mary University of London has signed up to a number of agreements with publishers to pay costs and streamline the process of open access publishing. Publishing under some of these agreements is dependent on your research funder while others will cover the costs for any Queen Mary authors.

To qualify for the publisher agreements you must identify yourself as being affiliated with Queen Mary University of London, failure to do so could mean your article is not eligible for publication with the agreement.

We have not signed up to every publisher agreement and in some cases publishers have not offered a publishing agreement. Where this is the case we have provided information on other publishing options for the more prominent academic publishers. 

If you would like us to add information about a publisher or you would like to recommend a publisher agreement not listed, please contact Open Research Services.

Not all publisher policies will be in line with your research funder's policy on open access, please see our information on Open access and your funder.

IEEE Update 20/5/2022
IEEE have updated their policy for authors following the self-archiving route to open access publishing to meet the requirements of research funders. Full details can be found on IEEE's website.

The advice given for authors who are required to comply with their research funders open access policy is as follows:

Route 2 Option: Publishing via a subscription based journal or conference

UKRI-funded authors are now also able to publish articles via Open Access in any of the subscription based IEEE journals, magazines, or conferences published in compliance with the UKRI “Route 2” option. Under this option:

  • Authors may deposit the Accepted Manuscript (AM) in an institutional or subject repository at the time of final publication
  • No delay or ‘embargo period’ is required prior to posting to the repository
  • The deposited version will have a CC BY license provided to the author by IEEE as long as the funder is properly identified

To make the CC BY licence available as quickly as possible under the Route 2 option, IEEE has implemented a manual fulfillment process for researchers with UKRI funding or from funders with similar mandates. To begin the process, authors who need a CC BY licence for an accepted manuscript should send a request to IEEE’s Intellectual Property Rights group at copyrights@ieee.org as soon as they submit their article. To further meet the Route 2 requirements and ensure compliance, the submissions should include the following text in the funding acknowledgement section of the manuscript and any cover note accompanying the submission:

“For the purpose of open access, the author(s) has applied a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license to any Accepted Manuscript version arising.”

If you have any questions relating to publishing with IEEE  please contact Open Research Services prior to submitting your paper to ensure you are eligible for support with the open access fees or can achieve compliance with your research funder. 

The Library currently has a Transitional open access publishing agreement with Hindawi Publishing.

Only original research and review articles are eligible under this agreement.

Our Hindawi Publishing agreement is managed by Wiley, please see the Wiley Publishing (Transitional Agreement) tab for more details.
