REV INT ANDROL’s Open Access Initiative

The advent of online publication has greatly improved access to scientific content on a global scale. This has led to calls from the academic community for research publications to be made freely available online and immediately upon publication, without the barrier of paid subscription to access.

In response to these calls, and following consultation with journal contributors, the Editors of REV INT ANDROL launched an Open Access initiative for this journal in 1st January 2024. This means that it is no longer necessary to have a subscription in order to read current REV INT ANDROL content online.

There are substantial costs associated with publishing a high-quality journal such as REV INT ANDROL, including administration of the editorial process, production of the published version, and development of online functionality. Under a subscription-based model, these costs are mainly covered by charging libraries and individuals for access to the journal’s contents. Under REV INT ANDROL’s Open Access model, we aim to cover the costs of publication primarily through the use of an Article Processing Charge.
