Open Access option – Mathematika

Green Open Access

The journal Mathematika accepts submissions available on open archives and allows authors to put the accepted version of their manuscript on arXiv or similar preprint servers. We ask authors to add a DOI link on the preprint server or the repository of the author's institution that links from the preprint version to the published version of the paper in the journal Mathematika .

Gold Open Access

Since May 2011, authors of papers accepted by Mathematika have the option to pay a charge to have their article made freely available online in final published form. Upon acceptance, authors will be asked to indicate on the Licence to Publish form whether they wish their paper to be published under Open Access. If this option is not selected, the paper will be published free of author charge with standard subscription-based access.

The Article Processing Charge for Open Access is $2,700 for papers submitted during 2020. In addition, UK Value Added Tax (VAT)  will apply to payments from the UK and certain payments from within the European Economic Area, at the rate prevalent at the time of payment.  After submitting the signed Licence to Publish form, authors who have selected the Open Access option will receive information on how to pay the charge and will be asked to choose among the licences available (see below).

Publisher's obligations

Where an author has indicated on the Licence to Publish form that he or she intends the paper to be published under Open Access, and provided that the appropriate charge has been paid, the paper will be published online and in print as other papers, except that:
