Open access publishing options
Organic Chemistry Frontiers is a hybrid journal and gives authors the choice of publishing their research either via the traditional subscription-based model or instead by choosing our gold open access option.
Gold open access
For authors who want to publish their article gold open access, Organic Chemistry Frontiers charges an article processing charge (APC) of £2,750 (+ any applicable tax). Our APC is all-inclusive and makes your article freely available online immediately, permanently, and includes your choice of Creative Commons licence (CC BY or CC BY-NC) at no extra cost. It is not a submission charge, so you only pay if your article is accepted for publication.
Learn more about publishing open access.
Read & Publish
If your institution has a Read & Publish agreement in place with the Royal Society of Chemistry, APCs for gold open access publishing in Organic Chemistry Frontiers may already be covered.
Check if your institution is already part of our Read & Publish community.
Please use your official institutional email address to submit your manuscript; this helps us to identify if you are eligible for Read & Publish or other APC discounts.
Traditional subscription model
Authors can also publish in Organic Chemistry Frontiers via the traditional subscription model without needing to pay an APC. Articles published via this route are available to institutions and individuals who subscribe to the journal. Our standard licence allows you to make the accepted manuscript of your article freely available after a 12-month embargo period. This is known as the green route to open access.
Partnership information
Organic Chemistry Frontiers belongs to the Frontiers journal portfolio, an enterprising collaboration between the Chinese Chemical Society and the Royal Society of Chemistry. The Frontiers project aims to publish a series of high impact, quality chemistry journals that showcase the very best research from China, Asia and the rest of the world to an international audience.
For each journal title, the intention is to collaborate with a top Chinese institute in the relevant field. For Organic Chemistry Frontiers, this is the Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry (SIOC).
The key benefits
- It is wholly society and institute owned.
- The journal is truly international, China-led.
- The highest ethical standards are upheld.
Readership information
Academic and industrial scientists from organic chemistry, natural products research, material science, catalysis, medicinal chemistry, biochemistry, catalysis, supramolecular chemistry, theoretical chemistry, and other disciplines where involve knowledge in organic chemistry.
Subscription information
Free online access to the entire 2014 and 2015 content of the journal will be provided to all institutions/organisations with registered IP addresses.
Access is available to institutions/organisations who are not Royal Society of Chemistry customers following a simple registration process.
