Open Access

We are pleased to offer Open Access publishing options for our authors. Our Open Access titles receive the same publishing expertise and attention that our whole list can expect. This means that an OA title is assessed, revised and passed for publication using our peer review process and is then marketed around the globe to ensure the readership is maximized. Electronic versions (ePDF/ePUB) are made freely available to individuals and libraries alike.
