The Linnean Society Journal of Biology offers the option of publication under the Standard License or the Open Access License. Please note that some funders require open access publishing as a condition of funding. If you are unsure if you are required to publish in open access, please clarify these requirements with your sponsor or agency.
OUP increasingly has reading and publishing agreements with institutions and corporations that fund open access publishing. This means that authors from participating institutions can publish in open access and that institution can pay a fee. Find out if your organization is involved.
