How to submit your article for open access publishing

  1. Follow the publisher's usual article submission process via the journal home page on brill.com, in which articles are submitted via editorial manager. The author should opt for open access and indicate that they are affiliated with a participating institution.
  2. On acceptance of the article, the publisher will ask the corresponding author to complete a form (publishing agreement).
  3. The corresponding author selects open access and confirms the licence type (e.g. CC-BY).
  4. The APC is automatically waived for authors who have indicated they are affiliated with a participating institution.

Authors must use their institutional email address when submitting an article for publication in order for the publication to be eligible for open access publishing with no transactional APCs.
