IOSPress

The IOS Press initiative Open Library® offers authors and their funders the option to publish their articles with full Open Access in the IOS Press journals. This arrangement is subject only to the requirement of proper attribution when the articles are re-used and redistributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License.

Other than being available with full Open Access, Open Library® articles are not treated any differently than other articles published in IOS Press journals, in that they are peer-reviewed and form an integral part of the journal in which they are published. The maximum article processing charge for Open Library® articles is €900 / US$1250. Open Library® options are also available for books. The publishing charge will then depend on the size of the book. Contact us at publisher@iospress.nl for more information.

Open Library® articles are funded by authors (usually from their grants, increasingly with active support from the funding agencies) and not by subscription charges. Subscription prices of IOS Press journals will be based solely on their non-Open Library® content.

“Open Access is now part of the landscape of science publishing and, in the spirit of serving the academic world, IOS Press wishes to optimize its role in the worldwide scientific knowledge exchange,” according to Dr. Einar Fredriksson, CEO of IOS Press.

IOS press started the Open Access journal In Silico Biology in 1998 and has since established or acquired other fully Open Access journals: Information Knowledge Systems Management and the Journal on Satisfiability, Boolean Modeling and Computation.
